  • Fisherman’s Bastion: white lookout towers beside Matthias Church, facing the Parliament across the river
  • Buda hills: wooded trails above the city, at their best for autumn hiking

On the Pest side, plan time for these:

  • Parliament Building: the Gothic Revival landmark on the riverbank, the city’s best-known sight
  • Jewish Quarter: home to the Ruin Bars, pubs set up in old courtyards and empty buildings
