Our top 5 things to do in Hungary

Visit the Fisherman’s Bastion in Budapest

Straight out of a fairytale, the Fisherman’s Bastion is one of Budapest’s most striking landmarks. Built between 1895 and 1902, its seven decorative turrets symbolize the tribes that founded Hungary. Climb up for panoramic views of the Danube and the Parliament — it’s pure magic.

See the Great Synagogue — the largest in Europe

Located on Dohány Street, this architectural marvel can seat over 3,000 people. The complex also includes the Jewish Museum, Heroes’ Temple, and a memorial garden honoring the victims of history — a powerful and moving experience.

Go shopping for Hungarian embroidery

Hungarian embroidery is a vibrant expression of local art, known for its floral patterns and meticulous handcrafting. Visit the Great Market Hall or the Váci utca pedestrian street to find authentic embroidered pieces that make perfect keepsakes.

Relax in the Széchenyi Baths

Built in the early 1900s, the Széchenyi Baths are Europe’s largest thermal spa complex — a place where locals and travelers alike come to unwind. Soak in naturally heated waters, explore the saunas, or play a round of chess in the outdoor pools.

Venture up Gellért Hill for spectacular views

A hike up Gellért Hill rewards you with breathtaking views over Budapest’s skyline. Along the way, discover the Statue of Liberty, St. Gellért Monument, and the historic Gellért Hill Cave, once used as both a church and a WWII field hospital.
