Landmark

Palace District

The streets behind the National Museum where Hungarian aristocrats built town palaces in the 1800s. Many now hold embassies, offices and small cafés. Skip it if you need a sight at every corner; the reward here is the walk itself.

Park & Garden

Museum Garden

The gardens around the National Museum, with statues of poets and plenty of benches facing the museum's columns. Skip it in winter if you're cold; it's a garden, and bare until spring.

Market

Bálna

A glass and steel building shaped like a whale's back, joined to old warehouses on the Pest bank next to the Market Hall. It holds a few shops, restaurants and event spaces. Skip it if new architecture doesn't interest you; the inside is quiet most days.

Museum

Petofi Museum of Literature

A museum of Hungarian literature inside the Károlyi Palace, named after Sándor Petőfi, the poet of the 1848 revolution. Closed on Mondays. Skip it if you don't read Hungarian writers; the palace rooms are the bonus, not the reason.

Shopping

Love Art Budapest Gallery

A small gallery shop on Kecskeméti utca selling handmade design gifts and art by local makers. Skip it if you're not shopping for presents.
