After visiting Budapest 3 times, I put together all of my favorite spots in one guide.

Budapest is one of those cities I keep coming back to, and over time I’ve found a mix of places I genuinely loved, places I’d recommend for first-timers, and a few spots that are iconic but maybe not always worth the hype unless you know what to expect. In this guide, you’ll find over 100 curated spots, including landmarks, cafés, brunch places, restaurants, thermal baths, photo spots, rooftops and a few hidden gems. I also included 1 full itinerary and 6 travel tips to make planning easier.

I wanted this guide to feel like a personal recommendation list I’d send to a friend - honest, curated and full of places that are actually worth your time.
