We had two days and three nights in Budapest. On day 1, we roamed around the city ticking all the major Budapest attractions off our list. Our second day was reserved for one of the top things to do in Budapest: spending some time relaxing at one of Budapest’s famous baths. 

Why did we opt for a combination of walking and using Budapest public transport?

It is known that the best way to explore and experience a city, especially in Europe is by foot. Most of the European cities and towns are pedestrian and cyclist friendly. Even though we love walking around these beautiful cities, there are times when you are either tired or have limited time. In such a situation, we prefer the less tiring route and opt to use public transport instead. 

While reading about Budapest several sites claimed that it was a walkable city. It was also mentioned that the city centre and other historic districts could be easily covered by foot as well. Based on this, we started our exploration by walking but soon realised that the city is not as small as we thought. We then moved to a combination of walking and using Budapest’s excellent public transport. We feel that it was the best decision ever since we were a little hung-over from previous night’s ‘ruin pubs’ and a little jet lagged as well.
