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 Central Market Hall and Herend Porcelain - Hadik Shop. Get in touch with nature at Palatinus Strandfürdő and Roman Beach. There's still lots to do: steep yourself in history at Fisherman's Bastion, snap pictures at Szechenyi Lanchid, admire the striking features of Matthias Church, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Dohány Street Synagogue.

To see photos, maps, reviews, and more tourist information, refer to the Budapest trip itinerary planner.

If you are flying in from Israel, the closest major aiport is Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport. In August in Budapest, expect temperatures between 32°C during the day and 18°C at night. Cap off your sightseeing on the 9th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
