4 day Budapest itinerary

Budapest is really two cities joined together, and most people plan only one of them. Buda is high, quiet and historic, Pest is flat, busy and full of life. That difference decides both where you should sleep and how long it actually takes to get between things.

The shape of the route

  1. Day 1, the Pest side
  2. Day 2, the Buda side
  3. Day 3, baths and river
  4. Day 4, whatever is left
  5. Before your flight

This is the outline only. The detail of each day, the order of the sights, opening hours, real travel times and food recommendations, is built for you around your dates and your pace. Get the full itinerary
