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 House of Terror Museum. 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: head off the coast to Margaret Island, pause for some serene contemplation at St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika), see the interesting displays at Miniversum Budapest, and browse the fresh offerings at Central Market Hall.
