What travelers are saying
- markitikiOrlando, FL684 contributionsAfter days of walking/climbing and sightseeing, this was our last stop before going home. Hanging out in the thermal spa (indoor and outdoor) was so relaxing, and exactly what our muscles needed. There are food and drink options available outside. The outdoor thermal has 2 sides to it with a lap pool in the middle. Inside, the Saunas were packed but the inside thermals had space. You can buy towels/suits but we brought our own and lockers are provided as well (part of the admission).Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Josh K21 contributionsVery pretty and one of the main reasons to come to Budapest, especially when it is lit up at night. We did a night cruise along the Danube and the views were fantastic. We didn't go inside the building so can't speak for that. Also well worth a view from Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion.Written October 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- q4qualitySurrey, UK79 contributionsViews are amazing and there are so many photo points for the non-competing tourists with a camera .

- Dahnie H17 contributionsOne of the prettiest Basilica I have been to!!! It is stunning inside and very big. The only downside is that there are many tourist that go so you can barely sit and pray without paying any fee.Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AnselmColomGrays Thurrock, UK3,176 contributionsA very moving tribute to just some of the innocent and what happened to them. Feels bad taking a picture. At the moment a lot of feelings about tensions elsewhere are publicised there as well.

- Jon DBristol, UK380 contributionsBest place to see the Danube is on a boat, on the river, so much to see and even better if youre able to travel up to Bratislava and Vienna as we did. Beautiful sights and the parliament building lit up at night is perfect to see from the river.Written September 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DougWarner80 contributionsHome to the Monarchs of Hungary, Buda Castle isn’t a castle at all but a palace. Grandly situated atop Buda Hill, the Palace embodies over 1000 years of history from the arrival of the Magyar peoples to the first King - Steven- whom became.

- markitikiOrlando, FL684 contributionsReally cool market, similar to ones you can find all over the world. Ground floor has local and fresh food/snacks while second floor has actual meals and souvenirs. I liked that the shop keepers do not hassle passersby. There were so many local goods to buy (I'm sure several were mass produced, but some seemed authentic). There is also a fish market in the basement and a toilet (not free of charge).Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- carpediem2019New York City, NY104 contributionsA lovely spot to relax and get contemplative in Budapest. Excellent for a sunny day and perfect for flower lovers. There is a small Japanese garden, but my favorite parts are the wide lawns in the rose garden. Central and accessible, this is a must-do expedition before departing Hungary. Wear walking shoes!Written September 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KarenJMill Valley, CA117 contributionsOne of the most beautiful cathedrals I've ever stepped foot in, and I am a faithful patron of visiting cathedrals when I travel. On the "Buda" side of the river in Budapest, this cathedral sits atop a hill with a magnificent vista of the city beyond.
When I first walked in, I thought the church was tiled in mosaics. Instead, it is painted on every surface in Belle Epoque style images and geometric shapes. Apparently it was painted in the late 19th century and recently restored.
Not to be missed. Bring your binoculars. There is a lot to see. Be sure to go upstairs to the treasury for even more magnificent views, especially of the Art Nouveau angels.
In various places you will see the older medieval stone work with lions, saints and peasants. There is a black Madonna in a side sanctuary reserved for prayer and devotion.
Afterwards walk through the old city neighborhood down to the river. It was heavily destroyed in World War 2 but still has a magical feel of the peaceful old city of artists, musicians, and philosophers.Written September 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Using hundreds of mannequins it shows different periods it was used--during World War II; during resistance; and as a nuclear bunker. Not for kids (not scary, just not for young kids and they have an age minimum). The guide was excellent and takes about an hour overall for the tour. If you are on the Buda side, this is one of the best things to see. You must do this.Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gizzy294 contributionsWent to see Swan Lake. This place is outstandingly stunning in every way. It is a must visit when in Budapest.

Unfortunately we could not spend more than a hour as we had a hard time getting there in the rain. They would not give us a rain check or credit for another day.
The baths itself was a good experience.Written October 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is good that each bridge has a plaque recognising the other. The Marlow version has traffic restrictions (metal bollards ensure that cars are driven VERY carefully) but the Budapest version, after strengthening in 1914, and rebuilding in the 1940s, is very much wider and stronger.
Interesting that the lions are made to the same design as those in Trafalgar Square in London too.Written August 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
