5 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.

You've now added Photography Tours to your itinerary. Visiting Danube River and Margaret Island will get you outdoors. There's still lots to do: get a sense of history and politics at Hungarian Parliament Building, examine the collection at House of Terror Museum, contemplate the long history of Dohány Street Synagogue, and appreciate the history behind Shoes on the Danube Bank.

To see ratings, reviews, maps, and more tourist information, refer to the Budapest tour planner.

In December in Budapest, expect temperatures between 5°C during the day and -1°C at night. Finish your sightseeing early on the 16th (Fri) so you can travel back home.
