1. Go to a thermal bath

Budapest is known for its thermal baths and you should definitely visit one when you are in the city! It is a great way to relax from the bustling city life. One of the most famous thermal baths of Hungary and also the largest one is "Széchenyi Thermal Bath", and I would certainly recommend going here!

2. Visit Buda Castle

Visit the Buda Castle to see a very beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site. In this place, you see a castle from medieval times where the Hungarian kings had their residence.

Some parts of the castle were already constructed in the 13th century, however much was built around 1750.

Furthermore, there is a beautiful courtyard that you can visit the courtyard completely for free. This is one of the best free things to do in Budapest!

Also, you find here the Fisherman's Bastion, which looks beautiful. This is a great photo spot in Budapest.

3. Attend an opera

Another thing Budapest is known for is its operas. If you can, this is really one of the best things to do while in Budapest. The best place to do this is at the Hungarian State Opera House, which is an impressive building in itself.

There are several museums in Budapest. Going to the Hungarian National Museum is a great thing to do in Budapest. Here you can learn a lot about the history of the country through all kinds of art and historical objects. If you want to learn something about Hungary, then this is the place to do that!

The Hungarian Parliament Building is a very impressive building to look at. Its remarkable architecture makes for a great experience by only looking at it.
