4. Visit Buda Castle
The Buda Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is a medieval castle where the kings of Hungary used to live.
The original castle was finished in 1265. However, the majority of the complex today consists of the palace that was built in the middle of the 18th century.
The courtyard is free to visit, however visiting the castle itself requires a fee.
But if you can afford it, I'd recommend going inside Buda Castle as well. It is one of the best things to do in Budapest.
5. Get a free view of the city
To get a free view of the city, go to Fisherman’s Bastions.
From here you can get a panoramic view of the city. It is one of the most important tourist attractions in Budapest.
It is part of Buda Castle and was built around the year 1900.
Not only the view is amazing, but the architecture of the building is also beautiful.
Also, this is one of the most photogenic places in Budapest. This makes this place even better to visit.
