6 Great Market Hall – This classic outdoor market started in 1894 is located at the Pest end of the Liberty Bridge and combines shopping with sightseeing in a vibrant atmosphere. The rich aromas and vibrant colors draw you in to stroll around and enjoy the food, wine, and souvenir shopping.

7 Chain Bridge and the Danube Promenade – The Chain Bridge, considered to be one of the wonders of the world, is a well-known Budapest attraction that spans the Danube at the foot of Castle Hill. Built in the 19th century, the stone bridge with the lion bridgeheads was the first permanent connection between Buda and Pest. Be sure to visit with “Shoes on the Danube Promenade” which is a powerful memorial to honor the Jewish victims of World War II.

8 Fishermen’s Bastion – The Fishermen’s Bastion takes its name from the guild of fishermen responsible for defending the city walls in the Middle Ages. From the towers and the terrace of Fishermen’s Bastion, you’ll enjoy some of the best panoramic views of the Danube River, the Bridges, the Parliament Building, and the rolling Buda Hills.

9 Hungarian State Opera House – Experience the incredible acoustics inside the Budapest Opera House, considered to be among the best in the world. Built in the 1880s, the Budapest Opera House stands as one of the most prestigious musical institutions in Europe.

10 Buda Castle District – The Budapest Castle District is situated on a hill near the end of the famous Chain Bridge. Explore the narrow cobblestone streets with footpaths winding around the hill.
