This interesting market is located at one end of Elizabeth Bridge. The building is fairly ornate, especially the roof.
It is built on two levels - the ground floor features fresh food in all its guises and the second floor features clothes, leather goods and lots more!
On the second floor there is also a fast food court featuring authentic street food - well recommended for a bite to eat.
You'll find souvenirs here will be much cheaper than the shops.
Definitely worth a visit.

A beautiful and large market, intended for visiting tourists. The place is clean, tidy. On the first floor there are lots of stalls selling meat / sausage and stalls selling mainly paprika souvenirs. On the second floor lots of amazing and unique souvenirs as well as fast and delicious food stalls.
The place is worth a visit.
experience.

An extremely beautiful market in Budapest.
Definitely a must visit for any tourist, especially to understand the culture better.
There is an area serving authentic Hungarian food - that was truly an experience I enjoyed. Don't forget to try the spicy Paprika and the Goulash. Incredible stuff.

Central Market Hall

This cruise allows you to sail on the Danube observing first the bank of Buda and then that of Pest. Wearing headphones and listening to the recording after setting the language allows you to get an overview and history of the main buildings and monuments of Budapest.

Crociera notturna sul Danubio

No visit to Budapest could be complete without visiting this magnificent Synagogue, it's truly beautiful inside. Completed in 1859 it remains the largest in Europe with a seating capacity of 3000.
Start with the 30 minute talk by a guide explaining the History of the Synagogue and also of the experiences of Jews in Hungary.
The jewel in the Crown is obviously the main Synagogue, but don't miss the smaller Synagogue (used in Winter months for energy conservation), The Museum (objects relating to religious and everyday life) and another exhibition of the Budapest Ghetto 1944/45.
At the North End, before the exit gate, stop to see the Holocaust Tree of Life Memorial.
Easy to spend a couple of hours here and totally worth the entry fee.

Stopped by on a whim after seeing this gorgeous building and deciding we wanted to see the inside too. Tickets were around £16 each, which includes a free guided tour that sets off every half an hour and entrance to the synagogue, gardens, museum, and an exhibition. The interior of the synagogue is unusual and beautiful and our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. The museum was informative and well designed, and the exhibition was  gut-wrenching. Definitely worth a 1-2hr visit to see the beautiful interior and to gain an understanding of the history of Budapest's Jewish community.

I don't know what I can say that others haven't said.  This synagogue is magnificent and you must go there when you're in Budapest.  Even if you're not Jewish, this synagogue is breathtaking and moving and will have you under its spell.  It is serene inside and you can't help but marvel at the gorgeous details in every single feature of the interior.
There's the main synagogue and a smaller one that is used in winter, and out the back is a cute little garden area with a Holocaust Tree of Life Memorial monument that is stunning too (if that's the right word to use).  You can wander around on your own, or take tours that are led in various languages.  To be honest, we did our own thing, but I now wish I'd taken a guided tour.  I hope to go again, so if I do, this is what I'd choose.
Yes, it's a little overpriced, but it's "mandatory" to visit here when visiting this great city.  I'm willing to bet this old, magnificent shule (the biggest in Europe) is probably the most beautiful in the world and you can easily spend a good solid hour or two looking around and taking in the grandeur of it all.  I highly recommend it.

Dohány Street Synagogue

Budapest, Szentháromság tér, 1014 Hungary

It's like a dream😴💭. Amazing beauty. The best place after Hungarian Parliament is the Fisherman's Bastion. Free. No charges. You can have a great view   of Danube & Budapest. Great place to click photos not only of views but also of yours. Loved. Nearby good eating joints. Spend at least half day here.

Absolutely stunning location, the highlight of our visit to Budapest. Most of the site is free, but for a small fee you can walk along the ramparts and take pictures away from the bulk of the crowds, which I would definitely recommend. The view is also lovely but the architecture is truly spectacular and it was hard to tear myself away from it!

Amazing place, beautiful architecture. Fisherman's Bastion you can visit all for free. No charges. A great view of river Danube and Budapest is given from here. Nearby are good eating joints, places for coffee, you can spend whole day here.
You will enjoy in every corner of this beautiful Bastion.
Prepare your phones and cameras!

Fisherman's Bastion

Romanesque looking statues and columns. Huge and stunning. Totally worth a visit and pictures. There added two different museums that are on both sides of the square and the city park is a super short walk from there. Easy to use a city bus to get out to that area, took us about 40 minutes on the bus. It is away from the main downtown areas.

Impressive square with a historical significance.
There are seven sculptures on each side that depict people that played a role in Hungarian history.
There are a lot of attractions in walking distance such as the, City park, House of music, Vajdahunyad Castle, Museum of Fine Arts and more.

Heroes' Square

Budapest, Kossuth Lajos tér 1-3, 1055 Hungary

Wonderful architecture in Europe! It is Budapest's most recognizable building. From every angle, it appeared magnificent. Stunning location with trees, gardens, and of course historical landmarks. The architecture is huge and quite detailed. Stunning view of the entire building. Although I was unable to enter, I was able to appreciate it from the outside.

Budapest most famous building. Huge and amazing Parliament with a stunning architecture. Unfortunately we were unable to get inside, therefore I recommend buying tickets online well before you decide to visit the Parliament. Worth a visit and definitely you can take some amazing pictures here.

Hungarian Parliament Building

Budapest, Erzsébet krt. 9-11, 1073 Hungary

The place creates a very nice atmosphere as the architecture of the building is remarkable.
Went there for a private event, and the conference rooms are spacious, the staff was very helpful as well. Unfortunately, the food was very simple and the portions very small, with no vegetarian options offered rather than rice and potatoes.. Prices are super high for a glass of wine, but the service was fine. Not planning to go there to spend a fortune for a lunch anytime soon..

From the moment you walk in, you know something special is about to take place. The restaurant has that enticing allure, drawing in beautiful people from around the world. The service is impeccable, and it's hard not to appreciate the stellar ambiance! And then there's the food: every item I tried was phenomenal, from appetizers to entrees to desserts. If you haven't been to "The Most Beautiful Cafe in the World" yet, I highly recommend you visit. You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful architecture and if you go, do check the inner courtyard from the hotel, really worth it.
We arrived to find a huge line outside.
They offer you a 5€ per person “priority” la e and you can cut your waiting time.
If you can, make a reservation.
The menu is available online and worth checking ahead of time.
The building itself is indeed gorgeous and well maintained. Italian Renaissance style, marbled columns rise to meet ceiling frescoes and crystal chandeliers.
The food is underwhelming and completely overpriced. You cannot even get a bottle of “tap” water on the house. And it is way too crowded. The fact that people come and only use this place for “insta pics” makes the atmosphere a bit laughable and less enjoyable. Prep yourself to see all kinds of outfits and party makeup

New York Café

Budapest, Id. Antall József rkp., 1054 Hungary

To get there you need to walk right on the edge of the river. We were there after a few days with heavy rain, which made it muddy 🤷🏻‍♀️ as there is no real pavement. Hope that in time they will build the beautiful promenade.
The memorial itself was heavily decorated with candles, flowers and traditional jewish materials. It is a beautiful memorial, sad, melancholic.
Would benefit from some lighting at night.

Lovely monument for a terrible past. The views are amazing and highlights how far we have come. Could do with some readable information if you aren't on a tour.

Heartbreaking- you can feel the terror and imagine the brutality. It is unimaginable how cruel and barbaric the Nazis and the eager evil Hungarian Iron Cross were, but this exhibit reminds us. Had my grandfather not left Budapest in 1921, our family would have surely been murdered as well.

Shoes on the Danube Bank

Budapest, Széchenyi Lánchíd, 1051 Hungary

Yes, this architectural jewel is just as majestic as you have heard. The unique bridge that connects Buda and Pest is a must for photos and walks. The feeling of walking on something like that is amazing. Of course, don't forget to see it at night. It's great!

An obvious must when in Budapest!

Don’t forget to head up the funicular for an even better view!

One of the most unique and beautiful bridges I have seen. It is undoubtedly an architectural marvel. This bridge connects buda and pest and is a treat for eyes. The night view is just as beautiful as the day. Great to take photos too.

Széchenyi Chain Bridge

Budapest, Állatkerti krt. 9-11, 1146 Hungary

Lovely place, pools indoors and outdoors are nice temperatures. Remember to bring flip flops with you for walking around in especially indoors. The cafe area is decent, had a lovely beef stew there. Would also recommend getting a cabin to get changed in though. Its great you can be there all day to 8pm too with the one entrance fee. Definitely worth a visit.

We almost didn’t come here because it was getting close to the closing time. BUT, we’re so glad we did because it was a great way to unwind after a few days of intense waking from city to city.

Be sure to check the website for times and prices. Lower prices on weekdays and certain hours. Locker bracelet to lock and unlock is provided when renting a locker. Definitely bring flip flops and towels or you can rent them but it seemed pretty over priced for us. Hair dryers are available in the locker rooms as well as showers. They ask people to leave the pools 15 minutes before closing time which is just enough time to change and freshen up. There are also options for massages and medical spa if you choose. We paid for entrance when we got there so you don’t have to do it online. They also take card.

Overall it was a great experience. The temperature in the outdoor pools were just right even when the air temperature was a bit chilly. It didn’t smell sulphuric but it was a bit humid in the indoor pools. The space in the locker rooms and the pools were clean and convenient. My husband and I loved our experience and we would totally do it again if we find ourselves back in Budapest.

Absolutely amazing experience! The whole place is magical from the architecture of the buildings to the experience itself. The outdoor thermal baths felt amazing and soothing, even on a hot day. The prices are reasonable. There is a well stocked store with towels, slippers etc to purchase in case you forget something. I highly recommend getting a cabin so you can change without having to do it in a bathroom stall. The staff was very helpful and everyone spoke English. This is an absolute MUST while visiting Budapest!!!!

Széchenyi Thermal Bath

Budapest, Vajdahunyad stny., 1146 Hungary

The castle , park and surrounding is a must do in Budapest. The park is very calming, the castle is beautiful. It is very closes to the thermal baths.
I'd recommend you spend a morning around the castle and the park. Get to the the fine art museum, and finish up relaxing in the thermal baths.

The castle was really beautiful. Many great spots to take pictures. We did not visit the museum inside because it was closed at the time we were there however the entire courtyard is free to explore. A must when visiting Budapest!

I recommend you to visit this part of Budapest. It is close to Heroes Square and Szechenyi Thermal Bath, with beautiful nature and buildings. Relaxing walk around the park with museum and various attraction. Very vibrant with great atmosphere and nice for taking photos.
