Over 15 million gallons of water bubble daily into Budapest's 118 springs and boreholes. The city of spas offers an astounding array of baths, from the sparkling Gellert Baths to the vast 1913 neo-baroque Szechenyi Spa to Rudas Spa, a dramatic 16th-century Turkish pool with original Ottoman architecture. The "Queen of the Danube" is also steeped in history, culture and natural beauty. Get your camera ready for the Roman ruins of the Aquincum Museum, Heroes' Square and Statue Park, and the 300-foot dome of St. Stephen's Basilica.

Castle Hill, in Buda, has panorama of the Danube and Pest. Explore Fishermen's Bastion, Matthias Church, Royal Palace, National Gallery, etc. Night view of Castle Hill, from Pest, is good.

Lovely area with great history. But you can skip booking expensive tours and either do the Free Walking Tour (where you pay what you feel it is worth at end.) Or explore on your own. This section of Budapest is hip—very “up and coming.” Stop in several ruin bars. Read the signage on many buildings that explain how Jews were hidden or betrayed during WWII. Today the streets are decorated with clever street art and haunted by memories of horrendous times when 70,000 were shoved into a few square blocks of ghetto and 600,000 Hungarian Jews were murdered.

Located partly i the jewish quarter, this is a popular place for trendy restaurants bars and cafes, it is nice just to walk along taking it all in, our favourite go to place on this street is Gozsdu Udvar, (passageway), especially on weekends when the markets are on.
