Rise and shine! Start your day with a hike up to Gellért Hill, one of the best spots to catch a panoramic view of Budapest. Along the way, pass by the famous Liberty Statue and take in the sights. Once at the top, enjoy a peaceful stroll through the Citadella and relax amidst the beautiful scenery.
Escape the busy city streets and spend the day exploring Margaret Island. Located in the middle of the Danube, this island is the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy nature. Walk or rent a bike to explore the island’s lush greenery and gardens, medieval ruins, and beautiful fountains. Don’t miss the singing fountain show at night!
Take a day trip to Szentendre Island, a scenic nature reserve located just outside Budapest. Here, you can take a boat tour of the Danube River, enjoy hiking and cycling through the beautiful forests, and catch a glimpse of some Hungarian wildlife. Don’t forget to try out some local Hungarian cuisine at one of the many restaurants on the island!
If you have more time, consider visiting other nature spots such as the Danube Bend or the famous Buda Castle. For those with less time, shorten your stay at Margaret Island or skip Szentendre Island altogether. Keep in mind that some activities may be closed during winter months, so plan accordingly.
