Explore the Fisherman's Bastion

Built in the 1800s to celebrate Hungary's Millennium, this fictional fortress features pointed spires and turrets that recall the charm of Disney World's fantasy castles.

You can enjoy beautiful views of Budapest by going down the stairs and along the upper terrace of the bastion.

It is open 24 to 7. Paying for access to the towers and the upper terrace will give you a better view.

Reach the top of Gellert Hill

Gellert Hill is located at an altitude of 235 meters (771 feet).

This place should be on your itinerary if you want to capture breathtaking views. When you reach the top of the hill, the huge 19th-century Citadel building will dominate the neighborhood.

Breathtaking views of the Danube and the eight bridges that cross it add to its beauty.

Visit Vajdahunyad Castle

Vajdahunyad Castle is a large complex that contains 21 meticulous reconstructions of Hungary's most prominent and famous structures.

The castle has four separate zones that showcase architecture from the Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance, and Romanesque periods.

It is further divided within each part, with a total of 21 smaller buildings connected.

Go to the Budapest Zoo and Botanical Gardens

Founded in 1866, it is one of the oldest zoos in Europe. It is home to a colony of captive-bred hippos, as well as a lion and bear cub nursery.

Since the zoo is so large, you'll have to spend several hours walking around to see every species.

There are so many animals here: from polar bears and tigers to monkeys, lions, and camels.
