Highlights
  • Great / Central Synagogue (Nagy Zsinagoga) - This is the largest synagogue in Europe and the second largest in the world. Built in the Moorish Revival style between 1854 and 1859, the Central Synagogue is not only a place of worship but also a memorial to Hungarian Jews who suffered during World War II. The adjacent Jewish Museum and Holocaust Memorial further add to its historical importance.
  • Hungarian National Museum - Founded in 1802, this museum is one of the country’s most important cultural institutions. The Hungarian National Museum offers a comprehensive journey through Hungary’s history, from prehistoric times to modern-day, with rich collections of artifacts, historical documents, and art. Its neoclassical building is also a significant landmark, representing the Hungarian spirit of independence.
  • Andrassy Avenue - This iconic boulevard is often referred to as Budapest’s “Champs-Élysées.” Lined with stunning Neo-Renaissance mansions, luxury shops, theaters, and cafés, Andrássy Avenue was completed in 1876 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It leads to Heroes’ Square and City Park, making it a great route for exploring the city’s most beautiful architecture and cultural institutions.
  • Hungarian State Opera House (Magyar Allami Operahaz) - This grand Neo-Renaissance building, designed by Miklós Ybl and opened in 1884, is one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world. It hosts operatic and ballet performances and is renowned for its excellent acoustics. Even if you’re not attending a performance, the lavishly decorated interior and striking façade make it worth a visit.
  • Szechenyi Baths and Pool - Located in City Park, Széchenyi is one of the largest and most famous thermal bath complexes in Europe. Built in 1913 in a Neo-Baroque style, it features a series of indoor and outdoor pools fed by natural hot springs. Visitors flock here to relax in the therapeutic waters, with temperatures ranging from warm to hot, and enjoy the beautiful architecture and lively atmosphere.
  • Millenium Monument Budapest - Located in the center of Heroes’ Square (Hősök tere), the Millennium Monument is one of Budapest’s most iconic landmarks. Completed in 1929, the monument commemorates the 1,000th anniversary of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin. It features a central column topped by a statue of Archangel Gabriel holding the Hungarian Holy Crown. The semi-circular colonnade behind the column displays statues of Hungarian kings, leaders, and other national figures, representing the history and unity of Hungary. The square itself, flanked by the Museum of Fine Arts and the Hall of Art, is a symbolic gateway to the city’s cultural heritage.
  • Hungarian Parliament Building - One of the largest and most beautiful parliamentary buildings in the world, this Gothic Revival masterpiece sits on the banks of the Danube River. Completed in 1904, the Parliament is known for its majestic façade, elaborate spires, and a dome towering 96 meters high. Inside, you can tour opulent chambers, grand staircases, and even see the Hungarian Crown Jewels.
  • Buda Castle - Perched on Castle Hill, Buda Castle is a historic palace complex that dates back to the 13th century. It offers breathtaking views of the Danube and Pest side of the city. The castle is home to several museums, including the Hungarian National Gallery and the Budapest History Museum. Its medieval, Baroque, and modern elements reflect the rich history of Budapest and Hungary.
  • Fisherman’s Bastion - Fisherman’s Bastion is a fairy-tale-like terrace located on the Buda side of the Danube, near Buda Castle. Built between 1895 and 1902, the bastion features seven ornate towers representing the seven Hungarian tribes that founded the nation in 895. The Neo-Romanesque design, with its sweeping staircases and balconies, offers some of the most breathtaking panoramic views of Budapest, including the Parliament Building and the Pest side of the city. Despite its medieval appearance, Fisherman’s Bastion was primarily built as a decorative element rather than a fortification, making it a romantic and picturesque spot popular with tourists and locals alike.
  • Matthias Church - Matthias Church is one of Budapest’s most iconic religious buildings, located in the heart of the Buda Castle District. Officially named the Church of Our Lady, it is commonly referred to as Matthias Church after King Matthias Corvinus, who was married here twice. The church’s origins date back to the 13th century, but it has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries, most notably in the late 19th century when it was restored in a Neo-Gothic style.

The church is renowned for its stunning architecture, with colorful roof tiles, intricate spires, and a richly decorated interior featuring frescoes, stained glass windows, and gilded altars. The blend of Gothic and Baroque elements reflects Hungary’s complex history. Matthias Church has played a central role in Hungary’s religious and cultural life, hosting royal coronations, weddings, and significant national events.
