![]() | St. Stephens Basilica--Editors Choice. A | |
| grand cathedral in true European fashion complete with gilded edges. Guided tours are available for a fee, but it is free to go inside and walk around. A breathtaking sight at night. |
![]() | Fisherman's Bastion--Editors Choice. In the | |
| Castle District, this structure has 7 towers symbolizing the seven tribes that came to Hungary in 896. The walkways provide stunning views over the Danube towards the Pest side of the city. Free to walk along the lower levels, small charge to go to upper walkways (no real extra view up there). |
![]() | Castle District. It is easy to spend the better | |
| part of a day up here, with Fisherman's Bastion, St. Matthews Church and the Buda Castle all within a stones throw of each other. The district is perched high on a hill above the Danube and the surrounding neighborhoods are a joy to walk though. |
![]() | Margaret Island. A lush oasis in the middle of | |
| the city, this space offers trails, a bird refuge, lots of foliage, some ruins and a luxury hotel. |
![]() | City Park. Another large park, City Park is | |
| home to the zoo, Szechnyi Baths, a castle, Heroes Square (including two museums) and several miles of walking paths. The zoo and baths charge admission fees, but it is free to walk through the park and castle grounds. |
