Visit Budapest
Welcome to Budapest, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Considered a true postcard, the capital of Hungary is a two-sided city, divided by the famous Danube River: on the west bank is Buda and on the east bank is Pest.
With an architecture that will make anyone's jaw drop, Budapest is full of imposing buildings, in the most diverse styles: baroque, neoclassical and Art Nouveau. Furthermore, we cannot fail to mention that Fate became the second most important city in the Austro-Hungarian empire under the rule of the Habsburg dynasty.
Attractions are everywhere, the tip is to get lost in the streets and enjoy the attractions and incredible atmosphere on this side of the city.
Budapest still has a number of very interesting museums, squares, churches, monuments, in addition to the famous and traditional thermal baths, where you can relax at any time of the year. We cannot fail to mention here one of the main attractions of the city, the Danube River, where you will witness one of the most beautiful sunsets on the planet.
In Budapest, you will find friendly people who are usually very helpful with tourists. The currency is the Forint (learn more about it in Tips) and the local language is Hungarian, remembering that those who speak English will have no difficulty communicating.
Beautiful landscapes, incredible architecture, sumptuous monuments, restaurants serving various delicacies of Hungarian cuisine, super traditional thermal baths, exciting nightlife and much more.
This is just a sampling of the opportunities you'll find in both Buda and Pest, the "two sides" divided by the famous Danube River that together form the capital of Hungary. To take advantage of all that the city has to offer, however, you will need the disposition and also a good and comfortable pair of shoes, as you are likely to be able to walk there a lot.
How to save in Budapest
Attractions in the capital of Hungary will not be lacking, but the question is: how to get to know all this without spending the tubes? Our tip is the Budapest Card, a card that allows entry to some attractions (such as museums), offers discounts on others and also allows unlimited use of public transport.
To properly explore Hungary's capital, you'll need some time. In our opinion, at least 3 full days.
When visiting Budapest, be sure to visit one or some of the famous bathhouses in the city, considered the thermal water capital of the world. An excellent option to relax the body after a long walk, rest the mind or, who knows, practice some physical activity in the water and even enjoy a party.
Altogether, there are at least 120 hot springs in Budapest and, reportedly, the tradition is old, dating back to the Romans. Speaking of which, remains of Roman baths can still be seen in Aquincum, Óbuda.
Some baths are so famous that they receive more than a million people a year. This is the case of the Szechenyi Spa Baths, built in 1913 and considered one of the largest spa complexes in Europe. The place has indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, massages, changing rooms, all in a neo-baroque palace.
The Gellért bath was founded in 1918 and is housed in an art nouveau-style building. There you will find 10 swimming pools of different sizes and temperatures, massage therapists, saunas, medicinal treatments, structure with lockers, towel rental
.
The Kiraly Bath, the oldest in the city, is suitable for those who enjoy history. That's because visiting this medieval Turkish bath is like traveling to the Middle Ages and being dazzled by the architecture of the place, as well as relaxing with a massage or a sauna.
Another option for those looking for a traditional bathroom is Rudas (Rudas fürdő), dating from 1560. The place offers practically the same services as all the others above-with swimming pool, bath with healing water, various massages.- and is also considered one of the most beautiful.
