Airport travel guide
The capital of Hungary is often rightfully named among the most impressive cities of Europe. Home to both a fascinating imperial past and the unique Hungarian culture, it has plenty for any visitor to explore. These are six of Budapest’s most interesting attractions:
- Budavár. Also known as the Castle District or simply Vár, this is arguably the best-known part of Budapest. Attractions include not only the impressive Royal Palace Complex that houses the National Gallery and Lion’s Gate, but also the Carmelite Monastery, Fisherman’s Bastion, and, last but not least, views of the city and the Danube below.
- Baths. The therapeutic effects of Budapest’s thermal waters were known as early as Roman times but were especially explored during the Turkish reign of the city. Nowadays, Budapest is home to many beautiful spas and baths such as the Szechenyi Baths and Rudas Bath which serve both as places of relaxation and heritage.
- Angyalföld. Angyalföld, or Angel’s Field, is something of a hidden gem among Budapest’s neighborhoods. Often overlooked as it used to be a slum and now houses many high-rise apartment buildings, it has nonetheless seen great development over the last few decades and has such interesting attractions as Margaret Island, three beautiful synagogues, Lehel Hall Marketplace, and even the Witch Museum.
- Nyugati. It is rare for a train station to be one of the city’s main landmarks, especially in a place with as rich a heritage as Budapest, but the Budapest–Nyugati Railway Terminal is indeed worth a mention and a visit. Built in the 19th century by the Eiffel Company, the station is known for its splendid facade, spacious interior, and the Royal Waiting Room built specifically for the needs of the Austro-Hungarian monarch Franz Joseph I.
- Anker Palace. Not as celebrated as some other palaces and fortifications of Budapest (perhaps because of its relatively young age – it was only built in 1910), Anker Palace is nonetheless one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. Known for its curiously eclectic style of exterior, it faces the Deák Ferenc Square and is near a number of other notable landmarks like St. Stephen’s Basilica and the Ferris Wheel of Budapest.
- Andrássy út. Sometimes called the Champs-Élysées of the Hungarian capital, Andrássy Avenue is, indeed, one of the city’s most beautiful thoroughfares. Home to many of Budapest’s most notable landmarks as well as many of its finest restaurants, the 2.3 km (1.4 miles) long street, as well as its metro stations, has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

We had a phenomenal trip! Four women traveling and never had any issues or ever felt unsafe. We did a circuit drive starting in Budapest to Split Croatia, Mostar Bosnia-Herzegovina, back into Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and returned to Budapest. Highlights were so numerous but especially Mostar, Diocletian Palace, Krka National Park, St. Stephens in Vienna, Banska Bystrica (Slovakia museum)

We wanted to look at an Eastern European country, having visited many of its Western neighbors. Most things were a bit cheaper as expected, although still high by developing country standards. Hungary is attracting more tourists, as they have a similar long history with the rest of Europe. But the most glaring weakness is the absence of latest online information on most of the sites
