Things to Do in Budapest

Begin your adventure west of the Danube—on the Buda District side—at the hilltop Buda Castle. This 13th-century royal residence just keeps being fabulous…much like Budapest native Eva Gabor. While you’re on the west side of town, climb the steps of the Fisherman’s Bastion, a fortress that celebrates Budapest’s rich history with fantastic views of the city.

Next up, cross the river over to the Pest District, where putting the “pest” in “Budapest” involves soaking in natural hot springs that date back to the 16th century (oh, and boutique shopping on Váci Street).

Before you call it a night, stop for a quick nap in your hotel in Budapest, then catch a cab over to the Jewish Quarter for cocktails and conversation in the city’s signature ruinpubs—yep, eclectic bars built right into ancient ruins. Waste not, want not!
