Budapest, the stunning Hungarian capital, is a fascinating city full of history. I was lucky enough to spend three unforgettable days exploring its streets, monuments, and museums. In this article, I\u2019ll share my experience, along with useful tips and information for anyone planning to visit this gem on the Danube\u2014especially for solo travelers. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

DAY 1<\/strong><\/h3>

Once I arrived at Budapest Airport<\/strong>, the first thing to do was get the Budapest Card<\/strong>. I had purchased it online, but it still needed to be collected in person. You can buy it here: https:\/\/officialbudapestcard.com\/<\/a> or via the Get Your Guide app<\/strong> at this link: click here<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>


Is it worth it?<\/strong> This is always a tough question to answer because it depends on how many museums you plan to visit. Do the math by adding up the individual ticket prices and comparing them to the pass to see if it\u2019s a good deal for you! At \u20ac43 for 48 hours, this card includes access to all public transport, free or discounted entry to many museums, and discounts at some of the city’s most famous thermal baths. You can also buy it directly at the airport!

To reach the city center, I took bus line 200E<\/strong>, which dropped me off at the metro station, where I transferred to line 3 heading to De\u00e1k Ferenc Square. This option is included in the Budapest Card, whereas line 100E, which goes directly to the center, requires a separate ticket.

Once in the city center, I began my visit by passing E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University and walking along the picturesque V\u00e1ci utca<\/strong>. I stopped at the Central Market Hall<\/strong>, the largest and oldest indoor market in Budapest, located on the Pest side, near Liberty Bridge.

The market was an idea of Budapest\u2019s first mayor, Karl Kamermayer, and represents his most significant investment.

Right in front of the market, you’ll find Double Shot Coffee & Brunch,<\/a> where I stopped for lunch!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

To pass the time before my hotel check-in, I visited the Hungarian National Museum<\/strong>, where I immersed myself in Hungary\u2019s history. The visit was very interesting, and some particularly sensitive areas cannot be photographed.

I then made a quick stop at my hotel to drop off my backpack<\/strong>. I stayed at Loft House Budapest<\/strong><\/a>\u2014a bit noisy<\/strong> because it\u2019s on a busy street right next to Szimpla Kert<\/strong>, but overall very convenient!

Here are some other hotels<\/strong> I considered for their great price\/location ratio<\/strong>:
