Budapest is two cities joined by bridges. Buda rises on the hill with the castle, the fishermen’s bastion and quiet lanes; Pest is flat, grand and busy, with the parliament on the water, the ring boulevards and ruin bars in the old Jewish quarter. Thermal baths are part of ordinary life on both sides.
Buda means climbing and Pest is flat, so pick your side to match the weather and your legs. A thermal bath is a fine reward at the end of a route. Compare all City Games or browse all our destinations to pick your next city.
