I was thinking of a long weekend round trip in Spring, Ben, just
to explore and take some pictures. Any recommendations?
Budapest is huge. For a really short visit I would recommend to start with the Buda castle. The sides of the Danube and the site from the bridges is also an unmissable part of the trip. At Kossuth square the Parliament is an emblematic building and from Batthiány sqare there is a very good view to it.
From Kossuth square there is the city center within walking distace with the most important parts of the city.
For a longer visit there are many more places and thermal bathes in Budapest.
Here are some of my photos:
