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, test the waters at a local thermal spa, appreciate the history behind Heroes' Square, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Dohány Street Synagogue.
