19 of the Best Places to go In Budapest on a City BReak

April 27, 2022

Budapest is such a gorgeous, fascinating city to spend a long weekend in. So much so, that my lovely friend and I have been twice, and I simply had to share 19 of the best places to go in Budapest on a city break. Egészségére! (That’s Hungarian for cheers!)

It’s also SO much more.
