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.

House of Terror Museum and Hungarian National Gallery (Magyar Nemzeti Galeria) will appeal to museum buffs. Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church are good opportunities to explore the local culture. There's lots more to do: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika), examine the collection at Memento Park, admire the landmark architecture of Dohány Street Synagogue, and steep yourself in history at Shoes on the Danube Bank.
