Spanning the Danube, the Széchenyi Chain Bridge is an iconic 19th-century landmark linking the lively Pest side with the historic Buda side. It affords sweeping views of the river and city skyline, particularly enchanting after dark when illuminated. Once across, ascend the Buda Castle Hill via the funicular or walk up to discover the majestic Buda Castle complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site rich in history. Explore the courtyards, admire the Baroque architecture, and visit the Hungarian National Gallery or Budapest History Museum. From the castle’s terrace, soak in panoramic vistas of the Parliament and city beneath you. Plan ample time to stroll across the bridge and explore the castle grounds at your own pace.
