Great place to visit and relax for a couple of hours there are all sorts of bikes for hire to cruise around the island and a couple of interesting sites including a musical fountain that plays every hour.

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.

If you love pictures you certainly cannot miss the most popular selfie location...We had the perfect day on Buda side exploring the Budapest Castle grounds, followed by Fisherman's Bastions and the top of Buda where there is a beautiful garden and a stunning little village and church. The Buda sightseeing bus is the perfect way to get yourself to each stop without too much walking. When you get to the Fisherman's Bastions make sure to look at the views as long as take a selfie and group picture, the architecture is really beautiful. I would suggest going early so that you can appreciate the place without all the crowd. Pictures on @lessiaestil

5. Dom Square
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 252 reviews
The square with exactly the same area as the Saint Mark Square in Venice (12,000 m2), bordered by elegant, northern European style buildings, was designed by Béla Rerrich and built between 1928 and 1930. On the eastern and southern side there are university institutes, while the western side is lined by the buildings of the bishop’s palace and the college of theology. The National Pantheon, placed under the arcades, includes over a hundred statues representing the prominent characters of Hungarian history, sciences and arts. The Open Air Festival was first held in front of the Votive Church in 1931. In the past decades after the first, religious themed performance, an abundance of theatrical shows have been amusing the audience in the largest “star-roof theatre” in the country.

What a beautiful cathedral. Easily accessed and central to Szeged. We had a good look around inside and out climbed the 300 steps of the tower and visited the visitors center exhibition which was really informative and unusually the hungarian text was also in english. The square in front of the cathedral also houses the famous mechanical clock which was also quite unique and you can see the full clock movement twice a day at 12.15 and 18.45(CET). Check to make sure that it hasn't changed if you are visiting.

This famous building is located in the centre of the town. It has a special architecture with an interesting roof with Zsolnay- ceramics. Outside and inside of the building you can see statues and portrait of Hungarian historic people: leaders and kings. You can hear the chime every hour. We were lucky to go into the main hall where wedding ceremonies are held. We have seen the fantastic paintings on the walls.

Just popped in to buy a bottle I knew from the night before. The guy in the bar was so friendly and showed a couple of wines just for fun, without even having to pay. Told us a lot about the vinery and gave us a great experience.
10. Shoes on the Danube Bank

Located in the vicinity of the Hungarian Parliament (in the direction of the Chain Bridge), on the banks of the Danube, the shoes along the promenade is a memorial to all those shot into the Danube by the Arrow Cross militia. You'll see big and small shoes, boots, elegant shoes, children's shoes, etc. symbolizing the fact that no one was spared. The place is symbolic inasmuch as that wasn't the only spot where the executions took place, but in several other places along the banks of the river. It's especially touching during sunset and evening.
