Landmark

Duna korzó

The promenade along the Pest bank between the Chain Bridge and Elisabeth Bridge, with the castle, the Bastion and Gellért Hill across the water. Best near dusk, when the lights come on. Skip it in wind and rain; Váci utca runs a block inland.

Market

Vörösmarty Square Christmas Fair

The big Christmas market on Vörösmarty Square, from mid-November to the last day of December. Stalls sell handmade crafts, mulled wine and chimney cake, and the food stands serve goulash and roast pork. Skip weekend evenings if you can't stand crowds; weekday afternoons are easier.

Attraction

Ferris Wheel of Budapest

The Budapest Eye on Erzsébet tér, a big wheel with closed cabins and a few slow turns over the centre. Best at night, when the bridges are lit. Skip it if you've done Gellért Hill or the Basilica dome; the views from those are better.

Landmark

Vörösmarty Square

The square at the north end of Váci utca, with a statue of the poet Mihály Vörösmarty and Café Gerbeaud on one side. From mid-November to New Year's Eve it fills with the city's best-known Christmas market. Out of season, skip it if you're in a hurry; it's pleasant, not more.

Museum

IKONO Budapest

An indoor museum of interactive rooms made for playing and taking photos, a few steps from Váci utca. Closed on Tuesdays. Skip it if you're not travelling with kids or a camera habit; it's more fun than art.

Park & Garden

Elizabeth Square

Deák Ferenc tér is where three metro lines meet, and Erzsébet tér next to it is a park with a long fountain pool and the Budapest Eye. Skip it as a sight; it's the meeting point for everything else.
