One reason I love Budapest is that it has just the right size: not too big, not too small. Most of the important sights are situated close to each other and even the farthest attractions in Budapest are easily accessible by public transport.
Even if it rains or you’re too tired to walk, get on tram 2, it runs along the Danube in Pest, passes Gellért Hill, Castle Hill, Parliament and its terminal is near Margaret Island.
“The second most beautiful public transport ride in Europe” according to Time Out Budapest. It’s just perfect for a Budapest sightseeing tour.
Of course a wide variety of Budapest Tours available, including bus tours, Danube cruises or thematical walking tours.
Budapest’s stirring and often tragic history left marks everywhere in the city:
These influences made Budapest a unique city with real character in the heart of Europe.
Luckily modernisation failed to roll down the town and create faceless, squeaky-clean city after the fall of the communist regime.
The UNESCO ealized this and included the most important sights on its World Heritage programme. We dedicated a page to Budapest World Heritage Sites.
We start with the top attractions that we recommend to include in your Budapest sightseeing to get a first impression about this great historic city.
