[2025 Budapest Attraction] Travel Guide for Vaci Street (Updated May)

#February travel support event I didn't really expect much from Budapest, but it was a really great travel destination. It was nice to just walk around without even a schedule,,, so I really wanted to make it into a reel. For those of you who are wondering what to do with your Budapest travel plans, I'll recommend a full 3-day travel course. 🏨Budapest accommodation recommendations - Novotel Budapest Danube / Affordable hotel with a view of the Parliament Building! Request a view of the Danube River when making a reservation :) - City Hotel Unio / A 3-star hotel that's spacious and recommended. Recommended for long-term travelers! 📍 Places to visit in Budapest - Országház, the Parliament Building / The most famous Buda Parliament Building in Budapest! In fact, the view is so famous that I recommend viewing it from across the Danube River. ✔️Recommended view of the Parliament Building: Parliament Viewpoint Parlamenti nézőpont, Batthyány tér H subway station, Novotel Budapest Danube - Shoes on the Danube River Cipők a Duna-parton / A shoe sculpture commemorating those who lost their lives to the fascists during World War II in front of the Danube River. It is a historical site, so I recommend visiting at least once. - Buda Castle Budavári Palota / Buda Castle near the Szechenyi Chain Bridge. It is now used as the Hungarian National Museum, and the view is also great. - New York Café Budapest / A 100-year-old cafe with gorgeous frescoes and chandeliers. It is also considered the most beautiful cafe in the world! There is a waiting line, so I recommend Open Run. - Széchenyi Baths Széchenyi Gyógyfürdő és Uszoda / Széchenyi Baths are a must-visit when you go to Budapest! However, since it is so crowded with tourists, visit early in the morning :) - Fisherman's Bastion Halászbástya / It is a 19th-century fortress with a beautiful view. The walk up to the fortress is quiet and nice. I recommend it for the daytime, sunset, and night views. - Café Gerbeaud Kávéház / It is a gorgeous and beautiful cafe as much as New York Cafe. Why are there so many beautiful old cafes like this in Budapest? 🤭 - Ruin Bars Budapest / I highly recommend Ruin Bars! The atmosphere is hip and perfect for drinking at night. Please note that there is a waiting line on weekends :) - Béchamel / If you are looking for a brunch restaurant, definitely go hereㅜㅜ They have a variety of brunch options and they are all delicious. -VakVarjú Restaurant / A place famous among Koreans as a crow restaurant. I went without a reservation and luckily got seated right away. The goulash was really good..! The duck steak pasta was basically all good. The interior was unique and especially good because they played jazz piano. -Rákóczi Restaurant Rákóczi Étterem / A place with delicious goulash and schnitzel. I sat on the outdoor terrace and the atmosphere was great. -Kacsa Étterem / A place where all the food was really good and the atmosphere was great. It was especially nice to be able to eat while listening to the violin performance. -Váci Street (Váci u 38) / A street lined with various brand shops, souvenir shops, and restaurants. If you walk, you can go to the Central Market (Great Market Hall Nagycsarnok). 🗺️Travel course recommendation Day 1: Brunch at Béchamel - Relaxing coffee at Parliament Square - Shoes on the Danube - Buda Castle - Kacsa Étterem Dinner - Enjoying the night view of the Parliament Building while having a can of beer in front of Novotel Danube Day 2: Széchenyi Baths - Dinner at Rákóczi Restaurant Rákóczi Étterem - Cafe Gervo - Enjoying the sunset of the Parliament Building in front of Batthyány tér H subway station - Beer at Ruin Bars Budapest Ruin Pub🍻 Day 3: Opening run & brunch at New York Cafe - Shopping while walking around Váci Street - Walking all the way to the Great Market Hall Nagycsarnok Central Market - Fisherman's Bastion - Dinner at VakVarjú Restaurant This is a romantic Budapest where I took a lot of photos & videos, and I recommend this 3-day course to P travelers who are wondering where to go.
