Description

See the best of Budapest on a day trip from Vienna. Whether you love history, art, interactive portraiture, or just amazing views, Budapest has it all. Visit the Parliament, Fisherman's Bastion, Matthias Church, St. Stephen's Basilica, and more. Start your day with a visit to the Parliament, located next to the Danube River. Inspired by the British House of Parliament, it has breathtaking architecture that creates a powerful atmosphere, especially at night. Next, head to the Fisherman's Bastion, a fantastic building that serves as the perfect overview point on the Buda side of the city for overlooking Pest and the Danube River. Continue to the Matthias Church, a stunning Church inside and out. In the sun, the white stone glistens and the gorgeous glazed tiled roof is so colorful. The interior is gorgeously painted and stenciled and has been beautifully restored. Pay an additional fee to go up the tower. Next, visit St. Stephen’s Basilica, the largest church in Budapest, built in honor of Hungary’s first king, St. Stephen. See the Shoes on the Danube Bank, a row of shoes on the river bank that effectively reminds us of the tragic events that happened there. Reflect on the dark history of the Second World War. Walk over the Szechenyi Chain Bridge while watching both sides of the capital and taking photos of the River Danube, Buda Castle, Parliament, and St. Matthias Church. Visit the Hungarian State Opera House, a new, Renaissance-style structure that is similar to the Viennese model. The decor inside is stunning, characterized by amazing ceilings, staircases, and balconies. Stop at the 3D Gallery Budapest, an interactive gallery that enables you to touch any paintings and actively compose your photos. The content of the Gallery is constantly changing. Finally, visit the Central Market Hall. No matter how the weather is, the Great Market Hall is a great option and definitely one of the top Budapest attractions. There are three floors where you can buy delicious fruits, vegetables, dairy products, fantastic salamis, pickles, fresh fish, Hungarian paprika, wines, and various souvenirs.
