5 days in Budapest Itinerary

You might consider the city of Budapest, divided by the Danube River into two distinctive cities--Buda and Pest--to be essentially one large World Heritage Site.

Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Andrassy Avenue and Vaci Street. Get in touch with nature at Palatinus Strandfürdő and Harmashatarhegy. There's lots more to do: kick back and relax at Roman Beach, get a sense of history and politics at Hungarian Parliament Building, don't miss a visit to Fisherman's Bastion, and take in the views from Szechenyi Lanchid.

To find where to stay, photos, ratings, and more tourist information, refer to the Budapest trip planning website.

If you are flying in from Israel, the closest major aiport is Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. In August, plan for daily highs up to 32°C, and evening lows to 18°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 9th (Fri) to allow enough time to travel back home.
