What to Expect

Expect a city that's walkable, with efficient public transport. You'll explore the Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, and the Parliament building by day, and hit the famous ruin bars at night. Thermal baths like Széchenyi are a must. Food is hearty – goulash, lángos, and chimney cake. The city is safe, but watch for pickpockets in crowded areas.
