Széchenyi Thermal Bath
Soak in 38°C thermal water in a Neo-Baroque palace — the most famous bath in Budapest. The bath party (sparty) on Saturday evenings turns it into an outdoor dance party.
Fisherman's Bastion at Dawn
The fairy-tale Neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque terrace on Castle Hill offers the finest view of the Parliament building across the Danube. Go at sunrise when it's almost empty.
Ruin Bar Crawl
Budapest invented the ruin bar — Szimpla Kert was the original, built in a ruined factory. The Jewish Quarter is now filled with dozens, each stranger and more wonderful than the last.
