The hidden gems of Budapest: Guide to the best uncommon paths

Budapest is quickly becoming a major European attraction because of its historical background, the several things to do and see in the city, and also because it is an incredible romantic scenario for a trip you won’t forget. Most cities generally become famous for the same old touristic paths that tend to spread through social media. Today we want to let you know the Budapest that is so much more than a visit to the Parliament and the Fisherman’s Bastion, and, furthermore, show you how to explore some of Budapest’s less conventional sights with our off-the-beaten-path guide to the Hungarian capital. Let’s get started!

Rudas Baths

Budapest is well known for its thermal baths but we always hear the same names. We highly recommend you to take a break at Rudas Baths: modern, clean and comes with a pool terrace with a breathtaking view.

Városliget Park

This city park deserves some of your time. Here you can just chill out, have a picnic and marvel at the Vajdahunyad Castle, a beautiful building looking precisely like Dracula’s Romanian residence!

Cruising the Danube

A cruise on the Danube is one of the best experiences you can get in Budapest. Try to choose a guided tour with some hop-off service to explore the green lung of the city: Margaret Island.

Margaret Island

Some avoid this place because it not so famous, but, with its Japanese garden, a little forest and several animals to encounter, some hours there can be a complete blast. Rent a rickshaw to make the most of your time here and explore every corner of this relaxing spot.
