10 days in Budapest Itinerary

You might consider the city of Budapest, divided by the Danube River into two distinctive cities--Buda and Pest--to be essentially one large World Heritage Site.

Your list of things to see and do now includes Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, Szimpla Kert, Budapest Puppet Theater, and other attractions. Your inner history buff will appreciate Halaszbastya and Dohány Street Synagogue. House of Terror Museum and Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum will appeal to museum buffs. There's still lots to do: steep yourself in history at Matthias Church, appreciate the history behind Hősök tere, get engrossed in the history at Hungarian National Museum, and take in the views from Liberty Bridge (Szabadsag hid).
