Ruin bars, Szechenyi Baths, Shoes on the danube, Statue of liberty, St Stephen Basilica Royal Palace. It's a beautiful city.

Another vote for the spas , make sure you see the shoes by the parliament building .

Yes, don’t forget the shoes

Szechenyi baths, visit the castle, walk along the river to see the shoes on the banks of the Danube, visit the Central Market Hall for food, get the funicular to Castle Hill, evening river cruise...

Love Budapest, great city, easy to walk around and plenty of good bars and restaurants.

I've been it's such a great place I went with my best freind 3 years ago in July for 3 nights we went to the spa, segwaying , ruin bars and had the best time , im going to the Xmas markets I can't wait .. you will have a lovely time remember to get your tickets for transport before you get on the buses though as I heard people have gotten fines but you can get a weekend metro ticket so cheaply x

Went to castle and town walls, ate goulash in a little restaurant near the Hilton.

The outdoor baths are lovely, well worth a trip but takes a whole afternoon or morning. We went over a decade ago and went caving under the city which was pretty cool, but I was much younger then!

If you're up for a drink the ruin bars are worth a visit. It's also got a fascinating history so a museum or two worth a trip.

The metro is a great way to get around. Enjoy!

You have to go to one of the spas, one the top highlights of my inter rail trip
