You might consider the city of Budapest, divided by the Danube River into two distinctive cities--Buda and Pest--to be essentially one large World Heritage Site.

Head to Hungarian National Gallery (Magyar Nemzeti Galeria) and Vaci Streetfor plenty of shopping. Get a sense of the local culture at Fisherman's Bastion and St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika). Explore Budapest's surroundings by going to Tihany (Babamuzeum, Via Dolorosa, &more) and Mor (Geszler Family Winery & Csabi Miklos' Cellar). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum, boost your wellbeing at a local thermal spa, examine the collection at House of Terror Museum, and admire the landmark architecture of Matthias Church.
