4 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.

Budapest is known for historic sites, spas, and nightlife. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: steep yourself in history at Fisherman's Bastion, pause for some serene contemplation at St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika), snap pictures at Szechenyi Lanchid, and appreciate the history behind Heroes' Square.

In February, plan for daily highs up to 7°C, and evening lows to -1°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 4th (Sat) to allow time to travel back home.
