Tünde Blága Hungary Europe

Representing Hungary, Tünde Blága won the Miss Tourism Continental 2021 beauty pageant organized by Beirut Golden Awards (BGA) between March 26 and April 1 in the Lebanese capital of Beirut. Her court included Sierra Leone's Rouwaida Davillion (1st runner-up), Turkey's Semra Salif (2nd runner-up) and Romania's Ioana Dorohoi (3rd runner-up).

The Miss Tourism Continental was organized for the first time this year by Beirut Golden Awards. It is a social and cultural association in Lebanon, which besides holding various events in the field of tourism, culture, and the economy has also organized several other beauty contests.

The newly crowned beauty is 23 years of age who enjoys reading books, music and loves sports. Blaga has a charming personality and stands 167 cm tall. With her fit and toned tall physique, she can surely grab the attention of many. After being crowned, the beauty took to her social media where she wrote, “ Miss Tourism Continental 2021 BGA Ambassador. It’s still incredible, but I won an international beauty contest. My heartfelt thanks to the people who believed in me all the way.”

By profession, she is a model and the modelling teacher who is no stranger to pageantry as she was also crowed Miss Earth Hungary 2019. She also ended up securing a place in the Top 10 in Miss Nation's Beauty 2016, competed in other pageants such as Magyarok Vilagszepe 2016, won Face of the Year Transylvania title and ended up being placed in the Top 10 of Miss Intercontinental Hungary.

Being held in the pandemic times, the competition faced a lot of hurdles, because of the pandemic-related precautions, aiming to lower the risk and the number of contacts, all the girls arriving from different parts of the world was put into two separate groups from the very first day.

The finals could not be held the way they were originally planned, and the organizers had to come up with a plan B at the last minute. Although the Lebanese government had already announced at the beginning of the week-long beauty contest that the whole country would be under total lockdown during Easter between April 3 and April 6, meaning that it was yet not in effect on the day of the finals (April 1), the managers of the venue still decided to lock it down just four hours before the start.

15 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Hungary

Written by Bryan Dearsley Updated Sep 24, 2021

From Hungary's magnificent capital city of Budapest - appropriately called "the city of lights" - to its many quaint villages and fantastic scenery, this Eastern European country evokes a strong sense of history and tradition at every turn. Budapest is justifiably compared to cities such as Prague and even Paris, and as a result has become the country's biggest tourist draw.

But not all the best places to visit and things to do in Hungary are in the capital. Picturesque cities and towns of all sizes in Hungary have preserved their classic old historical attractions. Many of them clearly exhibit influences from a variety of different regional cultures, including everything from Turkish invaders to Italian Renaissance designers.

Hungary's countryside includes some of the most beautiful scenery to be found anywhere in Europe . In fact, wherever you are in Hungary, you're never far from spectacular mountains and lakes, beautiful river scenes (the Danube runs right through the country), and lush valleys. All of these stunning backdrops also provide many great opportunities for adventure sports enthusiasts, including hiking, biking, climbing, camping, and other outdoor activities.

To help you make the most of your sightseeing in this remarkable European country, be sure to refer often to our list of the top attractions and things to do in Hungary.

1. Buda Castle, Budapest

2. the danube river, 3. historic spa towns, 4. esztergom basilica, 5. hungarian parliament building, budapest, 7. the caves of lillafüred, 8. hortobágy national park, 9. the hungarian open air museum, 11. eger castle, 12. pecs cathedral, 13. visegrád royal palace, 14. the buda hills, 15. aggtelek national park & caves, best places to visit near hungary.

When you first set eyes on spectacular Buda Castle (Budavári Palota) in the Hungarian capital of Budapest, you'll appreciate why so many people consider the city the "Paris of the East." This spectacular historic landmark - now a UNESCO World Heritage Site - ranks right up there with Versailles in France in terms of its majestic proportions and wonderful design.

Built on the site of a palace destroyed during the Ottoman Empire's Siege of 1686, this newer structure was rebuilt in the 18th century for the Habsburg monarchy and includes more than 200 rooms. Its symmetrical layout focuses on the lovely 61-meter-high central dome facing the Danube , where you can get stunning views of the castle and the other buildings on Castle Hill .

Parts of the original medieval building have been carefully reconstructed, including the Buzogány Tower and the impressive 15th-century South Tower .

The beautiful Danube River flows through Hungary from north to south, and as it passes through Budapest, it splits the city in two. One of the best sunset views of the river and of both Buda and Pest is from the Freedom Bridge , a favorite spot for locals who can often be seen watching the spectacle, along with passing boat traffic, from the bridge's huge cables (though at street level).

Other great places from which to view this majestic river are at the Danube Bend , one of the country's most popular recreational and excursion spots. This is where the river winds its way through the heavily wooded Visegrád Mountains before turning sharply south (the river's "knee") towards Budapest. The area is popular with hikers and nature lovers and is included in the many excellent river cruises that travel the Danube from as far as neighboring Austria.

The Danube Cycle Path is a popular way for active travelers to see the river as it winds through the hills between Budapest and Vienna. Stretching all the way from Germany to Budapest, along with constantly-changing river scenery, you'll pass elegant Esztergom, the Roman fort of Kelemantia, and traditional Hungarian villages like Szigetmonostor.

If you're looking for a vacation that combines some down time with a rich cultural experience, Hungary certainly delivers. There are many historic spa towns and facilities throughout the country that offer everything from simple bathing in regenerative waters to longer stays in lovely spa resorts.

Hungary's reputation for its hot springs and baths dates back more than 2,000 years to the time of the Romans, who highly valued the healing effects of Hungarian thermal waters. Then, in the 16th century, it was the turn of the Turks who built the many Turkish Baths still in use today.

All told, more than 1,000 springs provide medicinal and thermal water to natural and medical spas. One of the most popular is Lake Hévíz with its 25 degrees Celsius yearly average water temperature. This stunning spot is in fact the largest biologically active thermal lake in Europe.

For those staying in Budapest, excellent spa packages are available at the lovely Szechenyi Thermal Bath (Széchenyi gyógyfürdo), built in 1913, and numerous other locations across the city. It's extremely easy to spend a day in Szechenyi and on its charming grounds.

Official site: http://szechenyispabaths.com/

Dominating the attractive skyline of one of the oldest of Hungarian towns, the spectacular edifice that is Esztergom Basilica (Esztergomi bazilika) is well worth the 46-kilometer journey from Budapest.

Set overlooking the Danube River on Castle Hill, this impressive Catholic church - officially called the Primatial Basilica of the Blessed Virgin Mary Assumed Into Heaven and St. Adalbert - was built in 1507. Not only is it the country's biggest religious structure, it's also the tallest, with its huge dome stretching 100 meters into the air.

Notable features include its epic altarpiece, a nearly 14-meter-long artwork of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary that holds the record as the world's largest painting. Other notable artworks include Hungary's most important collection of Renaissance-era paintings.

Also worth noting is the massive crypt, added in 1831 and constructed in Old Egyptian style. A visit here will reveal a fascinating underworld of tombs and memorials.

The church is also home to Hungary's largest organ . Built in 1856, this impressive instrument boasts pipes as long as 11 meters. English language guided tours of the church and its impressive Treasury are available and come highly recommended.

Address: Esztergom, Szent István tér 1, 2500 Hungary

It's hard to miss the spectacularly proportioned Hungarian Parliament Building (Országház) when exploring Budapest. Whether you're taking a tour boat ride along the Danube (highly recommended) or viewing this huge structure from Castle Hill on the opposite bank, you won't fail to be impressed by its palatial appearance and dimensions, a particular treat at night when it's lit up beautifully.

The building is flanked by the no less impressive Ministry of Agriculture building and the Museum of Ethnography. Even if you can't linger here too long, it's fun just spending time wandering around the exterior as you take in the details of one of the largest parliament buildings in all of Europe.

If you have time in your schedule - and assuming parliament isn't sitting - head to the visitor center to check the availability of a guided tour. Available in English, they're well worth it. In less than an hour, you'll be whisked around a handful of the more than 690 rooms the building houses, along with the main entrance hall and its main lobby areas. You'll also get a peek at the nation's crown jewels.

Tihany is one of the most popular holiday resorts on Lake Balaton . Originally an island, this tiny peninsula covers just eight square kilometers yet boasts some of Hungary's most extraordinary scenery. Designated a nature reserve, the southwestern section is closed to traffic and is wonderful to explore on foot along the well-marked trail network.

A must-visit landmark in the town itself is the beautiful 17th-century Benedictine Abbey (Tihanyi Bencés Apátság) with its spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding area. It's a particular treat in early spring, when the region's almond trees are in bloom, and in June, when the fragrance of lavender fills the air.

From the abbey, be sure to walk to the lovely old Inner Harbor . Here, you'll find numerous moorings for passenger ships and a pleasant lakeside promenade.

Lillafüred in the Bükk Mountains is another very popular spa destination in Hungary. It's also famous for its many spectacular caves, all within an easy walk of the town. Some of the most interesting to explore are the István Cave with its fantastic stalactite formations, and the Petofi Cave , famous the world over for the impressions of extinct plant species left in its limestone walls.

For a more adventurous hike, take the trail to the Szeleta Cave . Here, you'll see a fascinating collection of relics dating from the Ice Age, including skillfully made arrows and spears. When you're done with all that exploring, take a ride on the old narrow-gauge railway through one of the most rugged part of the mountains.

Located in the eastern corner of the country, Hortobágy National Park (Hortobágyi Nemzeti Park) is what you might call quintessential Hungary. Here, you can explore a variety of superb attractions and fun things to do, all while soaking up the rich culture of the country's people and their traditions.

Established in 1973, the park is part of Hungary's Great Plain, an area that's protected as Europe's biggest natural grassland. Highlights of a visit include catching glimpses of its diverse animal life, including everything from an abundance of birdlife to herds of horses can be seen here. Also fun is spending an evening in its dark sky preserve, which offers incredible stargazing opportunities without the distraction of city lights.

In addition to its informative visitor center and its collection of native fauna to view up close, there are plenty of other things to see. Fun things to do include exploring the area's many hiking and biking trails, or even getting in a little horse riding adventure.

Speaking of horses, a visit to the Herdsman Museum is a must-do. This fascinating tourist attraction provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the locals. There's also a Country House worth visiting, which offers a look at domestic life over the centuries.

Another great way to get a taste for traditional Hungarian cultural activities is paying a visit to the world-class Hungarian Open Air Museum (Szentendrei Szabadtéri Néprajzi Múzeum). Established over 50 years ago and only 23 kilometers from downtown Budapest, it has since grown into one of the country's most significant tourist attractions.

Offering visitors a glimpse into traditional life over the ages, this first-rate museum is divided into eight sections, approximating different regions and time periods. Each of these is connected by many pleasant walking trails (expect to do plenty of walking!).

Highlights include the chance to explore working stables and barns, and workshops, including a working blacksmith's shop. For kids, there's also an authentic old steam train that offers fun rides.

The historic city of Sopron is well worth a visit. Located just 64 kilometers south of Vienna and eight kilometers from the Austrian border, it's location near the eastern foothills of the Alps makes it a popular destination for day-trippers.

Its allure stems as much from its attractive surroundings as from its many well-preserved medieval and Baroque buildings. Sopron boasts an impressive 240 protected buildings, 115 of which are officially listed monuments, making it one of the largest such collections in Europe.

All the buildings in the Old Town are found within the confines of the medieval town wall built on Roman ruins. Many of these buildings contain features added from other historical periods, so you'll never know quite what to expect as you explore.

Hungary has many delightful historic forts, castles, and palaces, each steeped in history. One of the best known is Eger Castle (Egri vár). Located in the lovely spa town of Eger on the southern slopes of the Bükk Mountains , Eger Castle once protected the gateway into northern Hungary.

Extended in the 16th century, the "new" design was based on contemporary Italian fortresses, and was again added to after the Turks took over in 1596. Visitors today can explore the remaining towers high above the town, as well as many ruins, all of them providing a sense of the size and strength of this once great fortress.

This spectacular fortress also serves as a convenient place from which to explore the old medieval and Baroque architecture in the lower town, with its excellent restaurants and cafés.

Address: Eger, Vár 1, 3300 Hungary

Official site: www.egrivar.hu/en

Dominating the northwest corner of the fortified Old Town of Pecs stands the picturesque Sts. Peter and Paul's Cathedral Basilica (Szent Péter és Szent Pál székesegyház). Most often referred to simply as Pecs Cathedral, it was built on the site of an ancient Roman burial chapel, the cathedral, like so many historic attractions in Hungary, shows influences from many different cultures.

Founded in 1009, the original church lasted well into the 12th century, was rebuilt, and then suffered even more damage due to Mongol attacks. After years of neglect - including a spell as a mosque and an arms store - the church was completely rebuilt in 1891, creating the splendid structure you see today.

And it's well worth taking the time to explore. Inside, many unique religious artifacts from throughout Hungarian history have been collected and are on display, as are a number of graves from the Early Christian cemetery.

Afterwards, take a walk over to the nearby Mosque of Yakovali Hassan Pasha, with its 22-meter-high minaret and museum. In the center of the Old Town, look for Szénchenyi tér , a lovely medieval marketplace.

Address: Pécs, Dóm tér 2, 7621 Hungary

Official site: https://pecsiegyhazmegye.hu/en/

Located above the beautiful old town of Visegrád in the Danube Bend , just 40 kilometers north of Budapest, and the ruins of Visegrád Royal Palace , this beautiful old citadel is an easy day trip from Hungary's capital. It's well worth including in your Hungary travel itinerary.

The first Royal Palace was built under Charles I after he and his court moved to Visegrád in 1316, and was extended a hundred years later with many Italian flourishes. It soon after gained a reputation as one of the finest palaces in all of Europe.

While now largely ruins - the legendary palace was only "rediscovered" in the 1930s - the palace impresses with its dimensions and incredible views over the Danube and the surrounding area. It's extremely fun to explore as you try to recall what it must have looked like in its heyday. A word of caution, though: Be prepared for plenty of walking.

The Buda Hills, on the western outskirts of Budapest, rise to heights of more than 518 meters and are crisscrossed by an extensive network of trails, perfect for walking or biking. Numerous bike rental companies can be found throughout the city.

Alternatively, you can take the tram to the terminus of the Cog Railway that climbs to the lovely residential neighborhood Széchenyi-hegy. From here, the narrow-gauge Children's Railway follows a scenic route to Huvösvölgy.

There are also plenty of walking trails from any stop, or you can get off at the highest stop, János-hegy, and ride the Budapest Chairlift down for some of the finest views over the city.

One of the largest and most impressive stalactite caves anywhere in Europe - and the largest in Hungary - Baradla Cave is protected by Aggtelek National Park (Aggteleki Nemzeti Park) in north Hungary on the Slovak border about 2.5 hours by car from Budapest.

The park covers almost 200 square kilometers, much of it also protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site . The Baradla Cave stretches for more than 25 kilometers, with a seven-kilometer-long main tunnel. Its passages were formed over thousands of years as rain and melting snow eroded away the limestone, with dripping mineral-rich water forming giant stalactites and stalagmites in fantastic shapes and bizarre colors.

Excavations show that the cave was used as a shelter for humans for more than 7,000 years. Three other caves have recently been opened to visitors: the Imre Vass Cave , the Béke Cave , and the Rákóczi Cave .

The park is popular with hikers and walkers from all over Europe. These adventurers follow its network of well-marked trails, and along with guided cave tours , the park offers ecology, zoology, and botanical tours . Guided walks also explore the natural and cultural environment of the village of Jósvafo , where festivals mark the harvest and religious holidays.

After you've seen the top attractions in Budapest and the many other destinations you can reach on fun day trips from Budapest , you may want to tour some of the other major capitals of Eastern Europe, many of them within easy reach by train or car. Our favorites include Bucharest in Romania , as well as the historic (and incredibly beautiful) city of Prague in the Czech Republic .

On the way to Prague, be sure to stop in the Czech city of Brno to admire its landmark modernist architecture. Another great option to consider is to follow the mighty Danube River by boat, bike, or car into beautiful Austria and its capital city of Vienna .

The thermal baths are king here, but there are plenty of other ways to kill a day. World-class museums, island parks, shopping and cafes are available in spades. Foot it around Castle Hill for a taste of medieval Budapest or spend an afternoon

• All Things To Do

Fisherman's Bastion (Halászbástya) Fisherman's Bastion (Halászbástya) free

Located in the historic district of  Castle Hill , Fisherman's Bastion is a neo-Gothic terrace that looks like a structure taken straight out of a fairy tale. Designed and built in 1905 by Frigyes Schulek – the same architect who built the adjacent Matthias Church – Fisherman's Bastion is named after the medieval guild of fishermen who protected Budapest from invasion.

Visitors say Fisherman's Bastion's gleaming white structure provides panoramic views of the city: From here, you can snap some breathtaking pictures of the Danube River , Margaret Island and Pest. Also save time for exploring the sight's seven ornate turrets, which symbolize the tents of the seven Magyar leaders who settled the Carpathian Basin, ultimately leading to the existence of modern-day Hungary. 

Danube River Danube River free

Dividing the city's Buda and Pest sides is the impressive Danube River. Flowing roughly 1,770 miles from west Germany through Austria, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova and, of course, Hungary, before meeting the Black Sea in southern Ukraine, this sprawling river is the second longest in Europe. Along its Budapest shores, travelers will find iconic sights like the Hungarian Parliament and Buda Castle .

Recent visitors highly recommend checking out the Danube River on foot or by boat. If you decide to go for a stroll, consider doing so at the Danube Promenade, which offers picturesque views and the must-see Shoes on the Danube Bank Holocaust memorial, according to past travelers. Many also suggest signing up for an evening sightseeing cruise through local operators like Legenda Sightseeing Boats and Portum Lines .

Castle Hill (Várhegy) Castle Hill (Várhegy) free

Located on the west side of the Danube River , Castle Hill is a must-see district for any Budapest visitor. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987, the area's iconic Buda Castle was constructed in the 13th century. Walk the cobblestone streets, take in the medieval atmosphere and dive deep into Budapest's history.

From the castle to  Matthias Church  to the underground Castle Labyrinth to  Fisherman's Bastion , you'll find there's almost no end to what you can learn about Budapest's past. The lack of vehicle traffic also lends an old-world charm to the area. Plus, travelers say you'll discover sweeping city panoramas from multiple locales in the neighborhood.

Széchenyi Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lánchíd) Széchenyi Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lánchíd) free

It's hard to miss the nearly 1,250-foot-long Széchenyi Chain Bridge. Originally built in the 1800s by English engineer William Tierney Clark, this stunning suspension bridge was mostly destroyed during World War II. Though it was badly damaged, it still features its original pillars and stone lions that flank its entrances. Since being reconstructed in the late 1940s, visitors have flocked here to walk, bike and drive across it.

Travelers rave about this impressive bridge, saying it's a superb subject for photos. For the best views, visitors suggest arriving at night when lights illuminate the bridge and surrounding attractions. Sights you can see from the Széchenyi Chain Bridge include Buda Castle and the Hungarian Parliament .

Heroes' Square (Hosök tere) Heroes' Square (Hosök tere) free

Heroes' Square is one of Budapest's grandest landmarks. In fact, it's the largest public square in the city. Swing by this area to take a picture of the Millenary Monument, which was erected in 1896 to celebrate Hungary's 1000th anniversary.

The square and the monument are dedicated to those who lost their lives while fighting for the country's independence. At the base of the famous column (topped with the Archangel Gabriel) are statues representing seven Magyar chieftains – considered to be the founders of the Hungarian nation. Behind the column are matching colonnades with 14 statues of royalty and other important figures in Hungarian history.

Hungarian Parliament (Országház) Hungarian Parliament (Országház)

Completed in 1902, the Hungarian Parliament is one of Budapest's most famous landmarks. The Hungarian National Assembly still meets here, but visitors come mainly to take in the building's architecture (primarily Gothic Revival-style) and beautiful statues and paintings. According to many, there is no structure in Hungary that serves as a better symbol of the country's independence and commitment to democracy. 

Travelers and locals alike say this structure is a must-see for any visitor's first trip to Budapest. It not only features incredible architectural details but also stunning Danube River views and significant artifacts, such as Hungary's crown jewels. If you're interested in touring the inside, visitors suggest booking well in advance since tours – which are the only way to gain interior access – fill up fast. Photography is permitted during a tour; however, taking pictures inside the Dome Hall (where the crown jewels are located) is not allowed.

St. Stephen's Basilica (Svent István Bazilika) St. Stephen's Basilica (Svent István Bazilika) free

One of downtown Budapest's most popular sights is St. Stephen's Basilica. Featuring two clock towers and an impressive cupola, this historical church, which was dedicated to Stephen I (Hungary's founder and first king) upon completion in 1905, took more than 50 years to build. Visitors flock here to catch a glimpse of its main attraction – the Holy Right. This mummified, jewel-adorned right hand of the property's namesake rests inside an ornate golden reliquary in the church's Holy Right chapel.

Past travelers praised St. Stephen's Basilica's stunning architecture and interior, as well as the breathtaking city views from the cupola's balcony. Visitors can explore the church on their own, but for more insight about its history, reviewers recommend paying for the guided tour, which includes looks at the Holy Right chapel, the on-site treasury and the cupola.

Buda Castle (Budai vár) Buda Castle (Budai vár) free

As its name implies, Castle Hill 's main attraction is its medieval castle. Built in the 14th century to accommodate various kings, the structure now features Baroque and neo-Baroque details added during various restorations. It's also home to the Hungarian National Gallery, the Budapest History Museum and the National Széchényi Library.

Like Gellért Hill and the  Széchenyi Chain Bridge , Buda Castle boasts picturesque city panoramas, according to past visitors. However, previous travelers had mixed feelings about using the Buda Castle Funicular. Some enjoyed riding it to the top, while others bemoaned its pricey fees and suggested walking. If you are not keen on walking but want to avoid paying 1,200 forints (about $5) for a one-way fare or 1,800 forints ($7) for a round-trip ticket, consider using the No. 16 bus. Each ticket costs 350 forints (roughly $1.50) when purchased in advance; to get a ticket on board, expect to pay 450 forints (less than $2). For Budapest Card holders, rides on public transportation are covered.

Matthias Church (Mátyás-templom) Matthias Church (Mátyás-templom) free

The neo-Gothic Matthias Church in  Castle Hill  has been around for centuries and, in many ways, its history corresponds to that of Budapest itself. Built in the 13th century, Matthias was the city's first parish church. However, it was transformed into a mosque during the 1541 Ottoman occupation and remained an Islamic place of worship until the Turkish expulsion nearly 150 years later. Today, tourists come to admire its imposing architecture, take in its historical symbolism and spend some time studying its impressive artwork.

Recent visitors said the church's architecture is striking and the informational place cards throughout the property give you a sense of its expansive history. Don't forget to check out the Ecclesiastical Art Collection, also housed inside. You can see the medieval crypt where 10th-century King Béla III and his wife Agnes are buried, as well replicas of royal jewels and other religious artifacts. And if you enjoy organs, the church's (with 7,771 pipes and 18 bells) is regularly the star of on-site concerts and shows.

Dohány Street Synagogue (Dohány utcai Zsinagóga) Dohány Street Synagogue (Dohány utcai Zsinagóga) free

Also referred to as the Great Synagogue, this place of worship is the largest synagogue in Europe and the second-largest in the world (only Temple Emanu-El in  New York City  is slightly bigger). Opened in 1859, this building features Romantic and Moorish Revival-style architecture and can accommodate up to 3,000 people.

Travelers suggest you visit for the atmosphere and to learn of the synagogue's historical significance  –  particularly its connection to the Holocaust.  In 1939, the synagogue was bombed by a Hungarian pro-Nazi party, and between 1944 and 1945, Dohány Street itself constituted the border of Budapest's Jewish ghetto. Visit the adjacent Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives to learn about the history of Hungarian Judaism and to pay your respects at the Garden of Memory in its courtyard.

Museum of Fine Arts (Szépmuvészeti Múzeum) Museum of Fine Arts (Szépmuvészeti Múzeum)

Located in City Park by Sz é chenyi Baths and the Budapest Zoo & Botanical Garden, the Museum of Fine Arts showcases Hungarian art dating back to the Middle Ages, plus Egyptian antiquities and 13th- to 19th-century European paintings. Exhibitions feature medals, prints, drawings, wooden sculptures, altarpieces and modern art – all of which contributed to Hungarian history and art development.

Previous museumgoers heap praise on the Museum of Fine Arts, adding that the renovation it underwent until October 2018 is beautiful. Some past visitors specifically raved about the informative displays, noting that they're so well-done that you don't need an audio guide.

Thermal Baths Thermal Baths

A soak in a thermal bath is a quintessential Budapest experience. (It hasn't cultivated a reputation as the "City of Spas" for nothing.) These baths, or fürdok in Hungarian, are heated by natural thermal springs and usually include on-site massage services, as well as steam rooms.

With more than 100 thermal springs, the various baths around the city cater to different tastes – from relaxation to cures for illness – and some transform into pulsating dance clubs at night, so if you're bathing with your family, you might want to do so during the daylight hours.

Gellért Hill (Gellért-hegy) Gellért Hill (Gellért-hegy) free

Across the Danube River from the Inner City lies Gellért Hill. Measuring 771 feet high, this neighborhood is best known for its 19th-century citadel, but the area is also home to an arboretum, a church built into a cave and various statues, such as the Liberty Statue (a traveler favorite) and one of the region's namesake, Saint Gerard. Legend has it that the Italian monk was pushed off of the hill to his death in the 1000s.

On a sunny day, visitors say Gellért Hill offers jaw-dropping views of the river and downtown Budapest. Travelers also praise the neighborhood's statues but recommend learning more about their histories before arriving to supplement your visit. What's more, some caution that the walk up the hill is exhausting, but limited parking is available by the citadel for a fee. You can also take the No. 27 bus most of the way up to the Búsuló Juhász stop.

Hungarian State Opera House (Magyar Állami Operaház) Hungarian State Opera House (Magyar Állami Operaház)

Central Pest's Hungarian State Opera House has been an institution in Budapest since its opening in 1884. Featuring a neo-Renaissance style, the opera house holds more than 1,200 seats and has a reputation for its exceptional acoustics. But the building's main draw is its opulent architecture –  inside and out.  Marble columns, gilded vaulted ceilings, an enormous bronze chandelier, and murals and frescoes depicting Greek mythological scenes provide a romantic setting.

According to recent visitors, the opera house's exterior justifies a stop, even if you don't head inside for a guided tour. If you do decide to take a tour, keep in mind that the building is currently undergoing renovations. Some past travelers bemoaned not being able to see the auditorium during their visits. 

House of Terror Museum (Terror Háza Múzeum) House of Terror Museum (Terror Háza Múzeum)

Located in the Terézváros neighborhood in Pest's District VI, the House of Terror Museum is a jarring but important museum that documents the dictatorial oppression Hungary faced during its fascist and Stalinist regimes. Once the headquarters of the State Protection Authority (similar to the Soviet Union's KGB), the building was where brutal interrogations and the torturing of countless political activists and dissidents took place throughout the 20th century. Tour the chillingly realistic prison cell replicas in the basement, and brace yourself for the powerful and moving exhibit on Hungary's post-World War II years leading up to the 1953 uprising against its Soviet-controlled government.

Recent visitors said this museum's exhibits are thought-provoking and informative. However, a few lamented the no photography policy inside. Another drawback: the Hungarian-only displays. To understand the material presented in each exhibit, you'll need to ask for handouts with English translations or pay an extra 1,500 forints (roughly $6) for an English audio guide. You can also reserve a guided tour with an English-speaking guide at least 10 days in advance for 8,000 forints (about $31).

21 things only Budapest locals know (that you really should know, too)

Mar 6, 2024 • 8 min read

While Budapest is welcoming and safe but it helps to know a few key tips © Drazen_ / Getty Images

Budapest’s elegant boulevards and world-famous thermal baths welcome travelers from all over the globe – yet some aspects of navigating the city aren’t the most visitor-friendly.

Even seasoned travelers can have unpleasant interactions with ticket inspectors on the tram after incorrectly validating their tickets. One unfortunate recurring story in Budapest is one of male visitors getting scammed by pretty women at shady bars, while crooked taxi drivers can quite literally take unwitting passengers for a ride around the city. 

Luckily, the Hungarian capital is a safe place for visitors, and you can easily avoid these scenarios with a little planning and by following our list of things to do – and things to avoid – when visiting Budapest . 

1. Learn a few words in Hungarian before arriving 

Knowing how to say “please” and “thank you” in Hungarian goes a long way with the locals. Before your trip, buy a phrasebook and learn the basics of this idiosyncratic language, such as “hello” and “cheers.” One very important tip: make sure you get the accent right on the “é” in “egészségedre” (“egg-ees- sheeg -ed-re”), and don’t accidentally say “egészsegedre” (“egg-ess- shegg -ed-re”). The first means “to your health,” but the other is “to your whole ass.”

2. Pack for the pool

Soaking in Budapest’s thermal baths is one of the city’s most treasured experiences, so pack your stuff for swimming, including a pair of flip-flops or pool sandals and a beach towel. You can rent a towel if you prefer not to bulk out your bags, but be prepared to pay as much as 5000 HUF (about US$15). 

3. Wear a swimming cap in the bathhouse pools 

You can enter the swimming pools at the thermal baths only if you’re wearing a swimming cap, a rule in place to stop stray hairs from clogging the pool drains. Many bathhouses sell swimming caps at the ticket office for up to 2000 HUF. Note that this rule does not apply to the thermal baths themselves, only to the on-site swimming pools.

4. Bring an umbrella 

It’s a good idea to bring an umbrella to Budapest, even in the summer. The city can get sudden heavy downpours, especially in the warmer months.

5. Pack comfortable walking shoes (but not sneakers) 

Since Budapest is a highly walkable city, you’re going to be on your feet all day. Pack shoes that you’ll be comfortable wearing for hours while you’re out exploring – while keeping in mind trainers will likely single you out as a tourist in an instant.

6. Book tickets in advance for popular museums

If you’re visiting Budapest during peak season, especially in the summer or around Christmas, or have your heart set on seeing a seasonal exhibition, you can skip the long lines by booking tickets in advance. Some popular sites have introduced caps on numbers, so it pays off to plan ahead and ensure you can visit what you want to. If you buy a ticket before you arrive, download it to your phone, show the QR code and walk right in without waiting. 

7. Bring forints, not euros

Though Hungary uses the forint as its currency, some hotels, restaurants and shops will accept euros, giving change back in forints. Since establishments can be reluctant to accept large bills (like 20,000 HUF), try to withdraw smaller bills from ATMs. Some cash machines let you choose what bills to withdraw; if yours doesn’t, pick an amount like 9000 HUF or 19,000 HUF to ensure smaller change.  

8. Avoid Euronet ATMs

You’ll see Euronet ATMs all around town, especially in bars, but they charge exorbitant bank fees. The convenience is not worth the cost.

9. Download taxi and transport apps

To navigate the city on the go, download the BKK ( Budapest Közlekedési Központ ) app, issued by the city’s official public transport agency, or CityMapper . For taxis, get a taxi app like Bolt . Note that Uber is no longer available in Hungary.

10. Never hail a taxi 

Flagging taxis on the street is risky because some rogue operators rip visitors off by driving around the city or using other tricks. This has been happening less and less in recent years, but it’s still better to call a cab or use an app to order one. 

11. Validate your public transport ticket

The ticketing system for Budapest’s public transport can be confusing for first-time riders. The most important thing to remember is that you must buy a ticket before getting on public transport, validate it when boarding, and keep it until the end of your journey. Most tram and metro stops have machines where you can purchase tickets; on the bus, you can buy them from the driver. Check that your ticket has a date, timestamp or punched holes – these mean it’s validated and that you’re good to go. If not, you risk getting caught by a roving ticket inspector and charged a hefty fine.

12. Learn how to board the bus

Most of the time, you can get on the bus in Budapest through any door, and there’s no need to show your ticket to the driver. If you have a single ticket, validate it using the onboard machines (if you have a longer pass, keep it on you), and you’re ready to ride. Some buses, however, are front-boarding only. If you notice a bus that opens its front door only to boarding passengers, get in line and have your ticket or pass ready to show the driver. 

13. Tip at restaurants

Some restaurants include a service charge on the bill, so it’s a good idea to ask if this is included when paying (it usually appears on the bill as szerviz ). If not, it’s customary to tip around 10%. Hungarians often round up the bill and tell the server how much they want to pay, including tips (especially if they still need change back). If you give a banknote that’s more than your bill and say “thank you,” your server will likely see that as an invitation to keep the change. 

14. Don’t clink your beer glasses with Hungarians 

Hungarians don’t say “cheers” with beers – or at least they haven’t for the past 150 years. When Habsburgs Austria defeated Hungary in the 1848 revolution, Austrians in Vienna celebrated the defeat by toasting and clinking beer steins. As a form of subtle protest, Hungarians vowed never to do this same – and haven’t raised their beer glasses since. You might notice some of the younger crowd forgoing this rule, so if you’re in the company of Hungarians with beer, follow their lead.

Note that this rule doesn’t apply to drinks like wine or pálinka (a local fruit brandy); Hungarians even consider it rude not to look the other person in the eyes and say “cheers” when raising a glass of anything other than beer.

15. Don’t smile too much (Hungarians don’t) 

Hungarians are not the smiliest people, and smiling at strangers or while out and about is much less prevalent in Hungarian culture than it is in, say, the United States. Walking around with a big smile on your face at all times will probably make it clear to locals that you’re not one of them. There’s no harm in smiling – but you might just attract a tout trying to sell you a bus tour. 

16. Greet staff when you enter a shop 

If you go into a smaller shop, it’s polite to say “ Jó napot ” (“good day”). 

17. Watch out for the Budapest bar scam 

Unfortunately, one of the main risks in visiting Budapest is getting ripped off – and there’s one recurring scam that’s a tale as old as time. Male travelers will often be approached by attractive, friendly young women who invite them to a bar. Once inside, the men get presented with a huge bill, along with threats of calling the police if they don’t pay. The moral of the story? Try to resist tagging along with any women who approach you – or at least avoid any bar they suggest. 

18. Take precautions with your belongings

Pickpockets are common on rush-hour public transport and in busy, touristy areas. Keep your belongings in a safe place, such as in a money waist belt or in a zipped-up compartment inside a bag, and don’t put your wallet or phone in your pocket, the easiest place for a pickpocket to swipe it from. 

19. After midnight, take a taxi back to your accommodations

Budapest’s city center (especially District VII) is fairly nocturnal, and the central districts inside the Grand Boulevard are safe after midnight. If you’re staying in Budapest’s outer neighborhoods, however – such as Districts VIII or IX, beyond the Grand Boulevard – it’s safest to take a taxi to your accommodations if you’re having a late night. 

20. Be aware of the recent LGBTIQ+ laws 

Hungary is earning a bad reputation with LGBTIQ+ travelers because of recently enacted laws, such as one making it impossible for trans people to legally change their gender. Another, the so-called “Anti-Pedophile Bill,” draws lamentable parallels between pedophilia and homosexuality and bans LGBTQI+ representation in media available to people under 18. 

The good news is that Budapest is more liberal, especially if you stay around downtown. A vibrant population of progressive activists keeps up the fight for LGBTQI+ rights in Hungary, and Pride gets bigger every year, with thousands joining in solidarity. You’ll find many places welcoming LGBTQI+ visitors; Budapest Pride maintains a helpful  directory of LGBTQI+ safe and friendly venues . 

21. Know how to get medical help if needed

For peace of mind, it’s a good idea to get insurance before traveling. The Hungarian public health system is often understaffed, and it can be hard to find English-speaking doctors or nurses in public hospitals and clinics. Many good private clinics are popular with the local ex-pat community, including First Med and Swiss Clinic . If you need a pharmacy, you’ll find them all across the city center, with a few that are open 24/7.
