2-Day Honeymoon Itinerary for Budapest in May 2023

  1. Day 1: Buda Castle
    20 minutes (1.5 miles) from Budapest City Centre

    Begin your honeymoon by exploring the grandeur of Buda Castle, located on a hill overlooking the Danube River and Pest city. Formerly the royal palace of Hungarian kings, the castle now houses several museums and galleries, including the National Gallery. Walk around the castle courtyards and take in the breathtaking views of Pest and the Danube. If you are up for a romantic adventure, book a horse-drawn carriage ride around the castle area and the cobblestoned streets below.

  2. Day 2: St. Stephen's Basilica
    25 minutes (1.7 miles) from Buda Castle

    Explore the largest church in Budapest named after Hungary's first king. The beautiful Neo-Renaissance architecture, such as the cupola, the frescoes, the gilded main altar and the impressive 96-metre high dome, make the basilica an impressive tourist attraction. You can also climb to the top of the dome for a magnificent view of the city. When you are done exploring, grab some sweet treats from the nearby vendors or dine at a specialty restaurant for a romantic meal.

If you have more time, visit Fisherman's Bastion, the Hungarian Parliament Building, the Heroes' Square, or take a romantic Danube River Cruise at night. If you have less time, focus on one area, such as the Castle District, and explore it in greater depth. For more romantic experiences, consider visiting Budapest's Thermal Baths, such as Gellert Baths and Széchenyi Baths, or trying a romantic wine tasting tour.
