    An important memorial for the victims of the Holocaust. Not something major but I think visitors must see this work of art.

    It was absolutely lovely to be able to go for a walk near the Danube river while admiring the buildings Budapest has to offer.

    So my wife and I walked from our hotel in pest to the castle.

    Definitely worth a visit if you’re interested in history and there’s some great views across the river.

    Lots of shops to buy meats, spices and the like. Upstairs, there's an escalator, are souvenir stands with slightly better prices than in city center. Also, shops with food to sit and eat. Most of the stands sell the same items. Some shopkeepers also accepted euro currency.

    Beautiful church with quite a unique mix of art nouveau and neo-gothic style arhitecture. Well worth a visit inside also.

    One of the most important landmarks of Budapest, connecting Buda and Pest. A pretty popular location for tourists, if you want a nice photo I would suggest a visit in early morning. The view is pretty nice from that location. A must see in Budapest.

    Shame we were there out of season. I can't even imagine the potential beauty of this park when plants are in bloom, fountains filled and running, food stands open. It was lovely as it was without all of those things. I would say it's a must do for anyone looking for a relaxing part of their trip.

    So this place was recommended to us by a friend of mine who’s Hungarian.

    Very interesting and lots of history and I’m glad we went.

    Várhegy isn’t just a hill—it’s Budapest flexing its muscles. You start the climb, and it’s like the city dares you to keep going. When you hit the top, the Buda Castle hits back. It’s massive, old, and oozing with history that’s way too big for you to grasp in one visit. But that view? Yeah, the whole city spread out like it’s yours. For a second, you almost believe it.

    The streets up here are pure magic—crooked, tight, and every corner you turn, something pulls you deeper. Fisherman’s Bastion? It’s like stepping into a fairytale, but gritty. And then there’s Matthias Church. You walk inside and feel like you’ve crossed into another world, one where history and beauty don’t hold back. The stained glass, the colors, the architecture—it’s a punch to the senses, and you’re gonna love it.

    Várhegy doesn’t care if you’re here for a quick tour or the whole deep dive—it’s gonna leave a mark either way. It’s not just about what you see, it’s what this place makes you feel. This is Budapest, stripped down and raw, and once you’ve been here, you’re not walking away the same.

    Near the spa so you can tick it off whilst in the area. Nice lake to walk around and a scenic view. Wont need much time in the vicinity though.

    There were lots of things/places I wanted to do & see in Budapest but this place was in the top few things on my list.
    You pay an entry fee & can then play for free on all of the pinballs & other arcade games. Fantastic!
    There was a real mix of people and age groups there. Good atmosphere.
    Plus, I bought 2 T-shirts to take home.
    If you like this kind of thing, you'll love it.

    The place has a quite wide array of animals and the entrance tickets are priced fairly. It is a fun activity for a few hours. But a lot of the park was run down and some of the animal enclosures were quite sad, small and bare for the animals.
