\n\nThe wonderful city of Budapest boasts countless special attractions that everyone simply must see! We\u2019ve put together a list of Budapest\u2019s attractions that make our capital city truly unique!\u00a0<\/strong>\n

Budapest\u2019s attractions \u2013 10 must-see attractions in Budapest<\/strong>!<\/h4>\n \n\nBudapest is quite simply one of the most wonderful cities in the world, and it\u2019s not just Hungarians who think so, as more and more people from abroad are visiting it, and they usually return to our little country. This is probably because we have countless attractions that everyone can enjoy time and time again. We\u2019ve put together a list of 10 sights that no one should miss in Budapest!\n\n \n

Sights of Budapest 1. The World\u2019s Most Beautiful Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/h4>\n \n\nThe legendary Budapest caf\u00e9, the New York Caf\u00e9, served as a favourite meeting place for artists in the early 20th century; the caf\u00e9\u2019s entire history is inextricably linked with literature. In days gone by, great emphasis was placed on creating a sumptuous, spacious interior, the beauty of which we can still enjoy today, along with the traditional motifs and the beautiful marble columns.\u00a0Every Hungarian should visit this place, as even simply having a coffee here is a truly memorable experience. If you\u2019d like to enjoy this experience for yourself, book a table\u00a0by clicking here<\/strong><\/a>!\n\n \n

Sights of Budapest 2. The Danube<\/strong><\/h4>\n \n\nEurope\u2019s second-longest river cuts right through the capital, offering a magnificent sight. It rises in the Black Forest in Germany and is the world\u2019s \u201emost international\u201d river, as it flows through 10 countries, whilst its catchment area extends into a further 7 countries. Today, it is an important international waterway.\u00a0The first bridges across the Danube were built by the Romans, and the ruins of the bridgeheads can still be found in several places.\u00a0For those seeking more active leisure pursuits, the Danube is the perfect choice, as countless amateur and professional athletes practising rowing and other water sports can be seen here.\n\n \n

Sights of Budapest 3. Sz\u00e9chenyi Chain Bridge<\/strong><\/h4>\n \n\nOne of the symbols of the Hungarian capital is the Sz\u00e9chenyi Chain Bridge, which provides a permanent link between Buda and Pest and is also the oldest and best-known bridge over the Danube. The bridge features in countless promotional materials about Budapest and has been depicted on several Hungarian banknotes and coins, most recently on the 200-forint coin issued in 2009. The iconic stone lions at the bridgeheads were created by J\u00e1nos Marschalk\u00f3, a sculptor from L\u0151cse. At weekends during the summer months and on public holidays, the bridge is often closed to traffic, allowing pedestrians to cross.\n\n \n

Sights of Budapest 4. Parliament Building<\/strong><\/h4>\n \n\nMore commonly known as the Parliament, it is one of Budapest\u2019s most famous public buildings and landmarks. It is situated on Kossuth Lajos Square, offering an unrivalled view when seen from the Buda side. Many people are unaware that a condition of the Parliament Building\u2019s construction was that only Hungarian building materials could be used. The Parliament Building houses the Holy Crown and the other coronation regalia; moreover, there are countless other reasons to visit, as the Parliament also features works by several famous Hungarian painters, whilst the building\u2019s interior itself offers a magnificent sight.\n\n \n

Sights of Budapest 5. Buda Castle District<\/strong><\/h4>\n \n\nThere are numerous historic monuments in this area, which are well worth a visit. An extensive network of caves and cellars lies beneath the Buda Castle District.\u00a0The three main parts of the Buda Castle District are the Buda Castle, St George\u2019s Square and the historic residential quarter, each of which boasts truly unique attractions such as the Budapest History Museum, the Hungarian National Gallery, the Buda Castle Funicular, the Castle Theatre, the Fishermen\u2019s Bastion, the Institute and Museum of Military History, and St Mary Magdalene\u2019s Church.\n\n \n

Sights of Budapest 6. Fishermen\u2019s Bastion<\/strong><\/h4>\n \n\nOne of the city\u2019s best-known historic monuments is situated in Buda Castle. It ranks among the most significant tourist attractions thanks to its unrivalled panoramic views. Built between 1895 and 1902 to a design by Frigyes Schulek in the Neo-Romanesque style, it comprises three sections that form a single, cohesive whole. Its name refers to the fact that, in the Middle Ages, this section of the castle wall was defended by the fishermen\u2019s guild.\n\n \n

Sights of Budapest 7. Margaret Island<\/strong><\/h4>\n \n\nMargaret Island forms part of the capital city. The entire island is effectively a park, apart from a few hotels and catering establishments, and has thus become a hub of community life for both residents and visitors.\u00a0Margaret Island had many names before its current name became established. A picnic in this green space is the perfect outing for families, but it\u2019s also a great choice for runners, as a running track has been laid out here, allowing you to take in some real sights whilst exercising.\n\n \n

The Caf\u00e9 \u2013 which is all bronze, marble, silk and velvet \u2013 once welcomed writers and poets (that is to say, artists) with its beautiful twisted columns, a balcony, chandeliers and frescoes \u2013 welcomed the company of writers, poets (that is to say, artists) in its day, just as it welcomes guests with a taste for the finer things today. These delights represent not only the pinnacle of gastronomic pleasure in New York, but also the epitome of elegance.\n\n\u00a0\n\nHowever, for those who do not seek the lively atmosphere of the Caf\u00e9 \u2013 but rather a discreet, quiet setting where they can enjoy a business dinner, or a private lunch or dinner \u2013 we recommend the Salon restaurant.\n\n\u00a0\n\nWe owe our exclusive, fine-dining menus, curated with artistic care, to our highly acclaimed chef, Andr\u00e1s Wolf.<\/strong><\/h4>\n \n\nThe capital\u2019s most impressive square is home to the Millennium Monument. Together with Andr\u00e1ssy Avenue, which lies in front of it, they form part of the World Heritage Site. The square was named \u201eHeroes\u201d Square\u2019 in 1932. In the past, the square was often the venue for mass events, as well as numerous demonstrations and political rallies. Today, it is one of the favourite spots for tourists.\n\n \n

Sights of Budapest 9. St Stephen\u2019s Basilica<\/strong><\/h4>\n \n\nSt Stephen\u2019s Basilica is the second-tallest building in Budapest after the Parliament Building, and ranks third in the country. It is one of Hungary\u2019s most significant religious buildings.\u00a0The building is 96 metres high, 87.4 metres long and 55 metres wide, and has a capacity of 8,000 people. The basilica is exceptionally rich in works of art. In the summer, renowned organists from abroad give concerts here, and on Sundays the choir welcomes visitors with a concert.\n\n \n

Sights of Budapest 10. Museum of Applied Arts\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n \n\nThe Museum of Applied Arts\u2019 rich collection is truly unique, so everyone should see it! The building itself is truly special, as almost its entire fa\u00e7ade is clad in Zsolnay ceramics produced using a variety of techniques, and the roof is also made from this material.\n\n<\/div>\n
