Budapest has plenty of hot springs gushing from beneath the surface, so there are also many thermal baths. The two most beautiful and visited by tourists are the Széchényi Bath and the Gellért Bath.

It is easily accessible and a must see for all tourists visiting Budapest. It’s an imposing building from the outside beautiful on the inside. The basilica got its name from the founding father of the Hungarian nation, whose mummified right hand is exhibited inside the basilica. (St. Stephen was born in 975 A.D. by the way.)

If the weather is fine, one of my favourite things to do in the city is getting on a boat and sailing on the Danube. A cool thing is that if you purchase a 24+ hour travelcard for public transport you can also use that to get on boats and sail as long as you want. You can get on a boat if you go to Batthyány Square, then once you’re there walk down to the Danube and look for the boat stop.

Another one of Budapest’s superstar landmarks. It showcases statues of revered Hungarian leaders alongside the seven chieftains, while the square itself is flanked on both sides by museums. Behind Heroes Square is City Park where you can take nice walks, or if the weather is warm you can take a picnic. In the winter you can ice skate on the lake.
