9 days in Budapest Itinerary

You might consider the city of Budapest, divided by the Danube River into two distinctive cities--Buda and Pest--to be essentially one large World Heritage Site.

Change things up with these side-trips from Budapest: Eger (The Basilica, Eger Castle, &more). There's much more to do: get a sense of history and politics at Hungarian Parliament Building, take in the architecture and atmosphere at St. Stephen's Basilica (Szent Istvan Bazilika), relax and rejuvenate at Széchenyi Thermal Bath, and contemplate the long history of Liberty Statue.
