Budapest has a wealth of attractions to explore on your first, second, and subsequent visits to this incredibly beautiful city. If you\u2019re short on time, it\u2019s a good idea to prioritize the places you want to visit. Having a few main goals will make it easier to plan your itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am adding my own list of various monuments, institutions, and other places in Budapest where you can get the full range of emotions and impressions from this city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Go Castle Hill<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rising above the Buda district and along the Danube River is Castle Hill<\/strong>, home to some of the city\u2019s most famous landmarks. In the Buda Castle<\/strong> you\u2019ll find the Hungarian National Gallery<\/strong> and the Budapest History Museum. Not far from both museums is the Hospital in the Rock<\/strong>, a former underground hospital and nuclear bunker that is a very interesting place to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also nearby is the famous and very Instagrammable Fisherman\u2019s Bastion<\/strong>. Next to it you\u2019ll see Matthias Church with its colorful roof and absolutely stunning interior. At the other end of the hill are the Hungarian National Gallery<\/strong> and the Budapest History Museum.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From almost anywhere on Castle Hill you will see fantastic views of Budapest, Buda and Pest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Take a walk in the park on Gell\u00e9rt Hill<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And Buda also has an incredible park located on Gell\u00e9rt Hill<\/strong>, which is nice to walk in at any time of the year. The views from any point are stunning, you will see the entire Pest<\/strong> district in the palm of your hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gell\u00e9rt Hill is a beautiful green space with great views along the way. Plus, there’s a quaint cave church located at its base (it’s literally carved into the rock). This neat little place is worth finding and seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Statue of Liberty stands on the hill, and is reached by paths through the park, with many viewpoints overlooking the Green Bridge, Elizabeth Bridge, Pest, and the Danube. The walk takes about 1.5 hours each way and is fairly easy, although it is a pleasant challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
