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.

Budapest is known for historic sites, sightseeing, and nightlife. Your trip includes some of its best attractions: ponder the world of politics at Hungarian Parliament Building, contemplate the long history of Dohány Street Synagogue, pause for some photo ops at Heroes' Square, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika).
