Budapest in 3 days
Budapest is two cities on two banks: flat Pest and hilly Buda. The days follow the banks, and the third goes to the City Park and the Széchenyi baths.

The dashed line shows the order of stops, not the path through the streets: the street-level route is built in the app, on foot or by car.
Pest and the Danube
St Stephen's Basilica, the parliament at the water, and the Shoes on the Danube memorial beside it. It ends at the Chain Bridge — the crossing into Buda, but that is the next day.

Buda
The Fisherman's Bastion with its arcades and the view of the parliament, the Matthias Church next to it, and the castle. All on one hill, under a kilometre, but uphill — there is a funicular.

The City Park
Heroes' Square at the end of Andrássy Avenue, and behind it the City Park with Vajdahunyad Castle. The Széchenyi baths are there too, and deserve the afternoon: not a museum, but two hours in the water.
