5 days in Budapest Itinerary

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.

Appreciate the collections at Budapest Pinball Museum and Balazs Folk Art Gallery. Popular historic sites such as Fisherman's Bastion and Esztergom Basilica / Cathedral are in your itinerary. Step out of Budapest with an excursion to Beach in Tiszakecske--about 1h 40 min away. The adventure continues: take in the spiritual surroundings of St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika), contemplate the long history of Citadel, pick up some local products at Central Market Hall, and wander the streets of Andrassy Avenue.
