BUDAPEST ATTRACTIONS

As a place for several major attractions in Europe – the largest thermal water system in the world, the first Underground Railroad on the continent, the third largest Parliament building in the world and the largest Synagogue in Europe – Budapest has no shortage of things to see. The Buda Castle (World Heritage), Basilica of St Stephen, House of Terror, Heroes’ Square, our bridges and boat tours are strongly suggested. (The Hungarian National Museum is very close to Kálvin tér; the Museum Garden is being renewed but throughout the renovation works the exhibitions of the Museum will remain open according to the usual opening hours.)
