2. Parliament
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 30 reviews
The domed neo-Gothic structre was inspired by the British House of Parliament and serves as both a vibrant government center and a proud city landmark on the banks of the Danube.
Reviewed By Fane_Babanul - Rishon Lezion, Israel
This is the 3'd largest Parliament in the world, after the Romanian and the Argentine one.
It is beautifully decorated.
In the central hall you see the Crown of St. Stephen, the state symbol of Hungary.
I recommend making a reservation as far in advance as possible, to chose the most convenient time.
3. Archaeological Park

The main attraction of this Park are the huge burial mounds dating back to the Iron Age, 3rd millennium BC. The largest of them is excavated, split in half and is a unique attraction. As we, the visitors, left the reconstructed Bronze Age houses behind us and approached the burial mound, we were impressed not only by its size, but also by the large, remotely operated door which was slowly opening, letting us in. As we entered, it was closed behind us and after a few seconds in pitch black, a multimedia show began. It presented the techniques which were used to bury the ashes of that ancient, powerful ruler and erect the huge mound above his grave. The lights and sounds were really awe-inspiring! After the show, we spent some time in the small souvenir-shop at the entrance of the Park.
4. Fisherman's Bastion

4.5 based on 24 reviews
Built during the 19th century for the Hungarian Millennium celebrations, this mock bastion features pointed towers and turrets, reminiscent of the fairytale Castles in Disney World.
Reviewed By Heather M - Colchester, Connecticut
Fisherman’s Bastion offers stunning views from the top of the castle area hill down to the Danube river & across. We took a guided tour, the bus dropped us off approximately a half mile away (no coach buses are allowed in the castle area). There is a small fee to climb up to the lookout point. We went on a Saturday & it was very crowded. The bus loading/unloading process is not very orderly, you must push yourself through crowds of people who are also waiting for their buses .

Majestic river.. we took a dinner cruise which afforded us a wonderful view of the city at night. Every building is lit up and the beauty of the city was reflected off of the river. Suggest you look for a boat tour.

8. St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 16 reviews
Built between 1851 and 1905, this large parish church accommodates 8,500 people and features a magnificent 300-foot, neo-Renaissance dome.
Reviewed By Jebediah_Solomon - Hong Kong, China
This is a new, but beautifully decorated church. Apparently it took over 50 years to build because the dome kept collapsing.
This is a must see. We also paid to climb up the stairs to dome for sweeping views of the city. I think this would be amazing at dusk. The dome itself is beautiful, built on metal and has a steam punk vibe to it.
9. Castle Hill
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 9 reviews
Lovingly restored after being reduced to rubble during World War II, this picturesque area is located in the heart of medieval Budapest, which is characterized by cobblestone streets, narrow alleys and lovely squares surrounded by baroque and classical buildings.
Reviewed By Asia L - Salisbury, United Kingdom
The area around and including the castle makes for a beautiful walk, with the castle's gigantic structure looking over you. The castle vantage point also creates for a good view of the city. The castle also has a museum, which is somewhat interesting but arguably not enough information in English, with little guidance of the best way to view the museum (e.g. from top to bottom).
10. Szechenyi Chain Bridge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
Completed in 1849, this bridge was the first to be built across the Hungarian section of the Danube and is now considered to be one of the city's major landmarks.
Reviewed By ArijLor
Maybe the biggest, longest and busiest bridge of them all in Budapest. You will not miss this bridge if you decide to go from one side to the other. Main activities are around this area. Preferred the liberty bridge (green one) as this looks more old and different. Also by night pretty because of the green color.
It's not worth it to see this big bridge, unless you are passing by or taking this bridge to cross.
