What to do and see in Óbuda-Békásmegyer, Central Hungary: The Best Things to do
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.

I went to Sziget Festival for the first time on my own as a single female in 2019, hoping to just do my own thing and meet people there. I left Sziget knowing I'd be going back every year for the rest of my life! It's truly a unique festival from the location to the people. It's called the Island of Freedom and it really does fit the name. The food was decently priced (in comparison to the Spanish and UK festivals I've been to, Sziget was better priced) - pricey for Budapest but cheap for a festival. You can't take alcohol in with you however the drinks prices are relatively well priced with only spirits being a bit too expensive. (But still, in comparison to my other festival experience - still cheaper than average) A lot of people just got into the habit of buying alcohol from the big supermarket nearby and drinking on the grass outside the store to bypass the Sziget prices. The lineup was star studded in 2019 with massive names playing such as Ed Sheeran, The 1975, Franz Ferdinand, Florence and the Machine, Martin Garrix, Macklemore, and others. The stage was easily seen from quite a ways back (I didn't find it necessary to stand on my toes!), with large screens to help with that too. There is so much else to do at Sziget in addition to just the music, art, yoga, sport, swimming, boat parties, relaxing on the beach, dancing, a circus, and so much more. One word of warning, due to the dust and mixing with lots of people you are quite likely to get ill after the festival - so book some recovery time for after the festival!

5. Romai parti Market
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 6 reviews
The farmers' market is only a short walk from the legendary "Romai-part", which is one of the most popular outdoor places in Budapest alongside the Danube river. The market opened in April 2017 with a vision of bringing Hungarian farm-grown products and handcrafted items to the local community. In addition to the fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits, you will also find variety of jams, sausages, meat, eggs, juices, home-made bread and cheese along with many other local products. All of this is offered in the idyllic 3rd district, which can be reached from several directions and by different means of transport, even by boat from the centre.
6. Goldberger Textile Industry Collection
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 4 reviews
Reviewed By avocado1900 - London, United Kingdom
The museum is a social history of textile production in Hungary, particularly with the innovative and entrepreneurial Goldberger family. It illustrates the process of wax print indigo dyeing and goes on to show how the technology changed from the 1800s to the 1990s, including the devastating impact of the 2nd world war. They have activities for children and have presented information in an engaging way. This would be of particular interest to anyone drawn to textiles and also machine production. A five star experience.

Fascinating museum showing the op art of Vasarely. I'll be honest and admit I had not heard of him but saw this in a Lonely Planet guide book on Budapest. It was terrific value and a bargain, really. There are some other works in addition to Vasarely but the main attraction are the mind bending op art works he produced. It's a lovely little museum and an insight into something I knew nothing of but will definately find out more. You will find yourself staring at some of these images, your mind not quite beleiving what you are seeing.

A wonderful day out. Great for kids and adults. Spotlessly clean , food good and reasonable prices for a pool- very honest staff- we lost a kindle and headphones there through our own fault, and had them returned after several days. In my m=ind much better than the other baths.,
