Things to do in Budapest
Budapest I’ve visited already several times. Once for visiting the Formula 1 race and three times during a holiday. In December it can be really cold, October is a good time to plan your visit. Still good weather and not too hot.
One of the highlights during a city trip is a visit to the parliament building. Keep in mind this should be booked in advance especially the English tours. Because they might be booked. In this case, a German tour might be an option.
Apart from the parliament building a visit to the famous bathhouses should be on your list. Just because of the atmosphere but also to relax. t’s an experience that is linked to this city. I went to the famous Széchenyi bathhouse which is easy to reach by metro.
Another notable building not only from the outside but also from the inside is the Hungarian State Opera. The outside has its decorations, the inside even more with its gold. It fits well into the building.
An easy day trip outside Budapest can be made within about 20 minutes by train to the small village of Szentendre. The village is small so the main sights can be explored on foot. For example the hill, the old centre and the boulevard next to the Danube.
