Great Places in Budapest

Go to the top of the building and admire the views in every direction from the tower. You can climb the steps or use the lift.

The area is quite crowded with tourists from noon onward, so get there early or late in the day to avoid the crowds. It’s a great place to get a wonderful view of the Pest side of the Danube.

A great option is to book a cruise on the Danube, where you can get a great view of the Parliament.

If you’re there on a weekend, be sure to stroll through the Petőfi Csarnok Bolhapiac, which is a giant flea market and takes place every Saturday and Sunday.

It's a very small museum, but it gives you the idea of how life was behind the Iron Curtain. We recommend getting the audio guide to get the best of the visit.
