NOTE: I only had 6 hours in Budapest, so it was a whirlwind tour, but here’s my top tips and a few from other travellers!

1. Visit Buda Castle, Matthias Church and Fishermen’s Bastion - Jump on the funicular, it’s the fun way up the hill! (see dramatic picture with pose and also picture at bottom). At the top there’s amazing views and the Castle. Once you’ve checked out that, head along to the Church and Bastion (see pictures at bottom) its about a five minute walk. You can go up the church steeple and then walk along the walls of the Bastion. When you reach the main section of the Fishermans Bastion, there’s a cafe at the top, its PRICEY, but i thought f*@k it, i want a good photo 😂 so one 7 euro Stella later I had the picture at the top of the page!

2. Check out Heroes Square and Vajdahunyad Castle (picture at bottom) - You’ll definitely be heading to the hot spas in Budapest and if you get off the underground one stop before Széchenyi Thermal Bath (the main one) at Hosok Tere station you’ll be able to check out the square and castle, both are well worth a viewing!

3. Thermal Baths - Sadly with only 6 hours and no speedos I didn’t get the chance to visit them 😭, but if you go, you have to do it. Natural outdoor hot spas, huge pools or wee baths where you get served beers. I mean you got to love it 🍻👍.

TRAVEL TIP - Either use the app BUDAPEST GO, makes it really easy to get round. Or buy a day pass that’ll get you round on the tram, bus and underground. If you can go by tram, great way to see the city!
