How to get there
Arrival in Budapest
Steps: Budapest
Visit, discovery of the city. Budapest is an essential gateway for any traveller wishing to discover the Magyar Country. Some of them are unmissable: the Mathias church, Buda castle, Andrássy boulevard or the Gellért and Rudas baths. You can also refer to the first three days and the last day of the itinerary we propose for a one-week stay.
Places of interest : AVENUE ANDRÁSSY (ANDRÁSSY ÚT) ÉGLISE MATHIAS (MÁTYÁS TEMPLOM)
The Buda side
Steps: Budapest
Buda is the upper part of the city. Ideal to visit on sunny days, thanks to the magnificent view over the rest of the city. To begin with, a 20-minute walk up Mount Gellert won't hurt. It is the highest point at 235 metres. Once at the top, you will also discover the citadel, which is a mixture of old objects (tanks from the Soviet era) and tourist catchers (with lots of clothes for sale...). On the way down, you will find the castle hill (castle that no longer exists: only the ramparts remain), but there are several museums, the presidential palace (the building with the green roof in the photo) and a magnificent Romanesque church. The streets are mainly paved and this district is considered as the old centre of Budapest.
