Day 2 — Pest along the Danube
The Parliament building, the Danube promenade, and the Shoes on the Danube memorial to those who were murdered.
What to see
Where to eat
A short Danube cruise between the bridges — especially nice in the evening, when the Parliament and Buda Castle are lit up.
Book tours & ticketsBook the Parliament ticket ahead — the daily quota sells out.

Day 3 — The Buda side
Fisherman's Bastion, Buda Castle, and the view from the top over Pest.
What to see
Where to eat
Budapest is famous for its thermal baths. Gellért or Széchenyi are an experience — just mind modesty and the schedule (some have separate days or hours).
