18 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Budapest side-trips: Eger (Lyceum, Egri Road Beatles Museum, &more), Vaci Fegyhaz (in Vac) and Visegrad (Zsitvay-kilato & Nagyvillam Ski Slope). There's still lots to do: admire the landmark architecture of Hungarian Parliament Building, don't miss a visit to Fisherman's Bastion, appreciate the history behind Shoes on the Danube Bank, and examine the collection at House of Terror Museum.
