11 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.

Bring the kids along to Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church. Appreciate the collections at House of Terror Museum and Hungarian National Gallery (Magyar Nemzeti Galeria). Change things up with these side-trips from Budapest: Priest's Island (Pap-sziget) (in Szentendre) and Valley of the Beautiful Women (in Eger). There's much more to do: boost your wellbeing at a local thermal spa, take in the spiritual surroundings of Dohány Street Synagogue, take a stroll through Vaci Street, and shop like a local with Andrassy Avenue.
