Day 3 Budapest
Recharge with breakfast, then strap on your walking shoes and head to Castle Hill. This must-see World Heritage Site is packed with history and medieval beauty. Walk the cobblestone streets and pass Buda Castle, Matthias Church, and other stunning structures. Another fun idea is to see this district by funicular! A hillside cable railway runs from the banks of the Danube up into the castle district. The ride is quick, but the views will last a lifetime! In Castle Hill, be sure to check out the Fisherman's Bastion (or Halaszbastya) and Matthias Church. They don't call Budapest the "City of Spas" for nothing. How about a soak in a thermal bath? It doesn't get much more "quintessential Budapest" than that! Near the baths, you'll come across Heroes' Square (Hosok tere), the largest public square in the city!
