Great photo spots in Budapest, Hungary, highly recommended

3-day walking tour of Budapest✨A romantic journey along the Danube River

This Hungarian capital is stunningly beautiful! Every shot looks like a cinematic masterpiece. Follow my route to easily get social media-worthy photos📸

📸Day 1 Castle District Walk
[Fisherman's Bastion]
Address: Budapest, Szentháromság tér 5
Opening hours: 9:00-23:00
Be sure to arrive before 8 AM! You can have the observation deck all to yourself, and the Danube at dawn is breathtaking.

[Matthias Church]
Address: Budapest, Szentháromság tér 2
The Gothic spires and colorful mosaic roof are super photogenic. Don’t forget to take a photo with the stone lions at the entrance.

🍽️Lunch recommendation
Menza Restaurant (Liszt Ferenc tér 2) - a local popular spot, foie gras is a must-try.

🌉Day 2 Danube Riverbanks
[Parliament Building]
Address: Budapest, Kossuth Lajos tér 1-3
Recommended to shoot at dusk from the opposite riverbank; the golden dome glows! It looks even more stunning when lit up at night.

[Széchenyi Chain Bridge]
Best photo spot is on the stairs on the Buda side, where you can capture the bridge and tram in the same frame.

🎨Day 3 Artistic Half-Day Tour
[New York Café]
Address: Budapest, Erzsébet krt. 9-11
Known as the most beautiful café in the world, it’s recommended to wear vintage-style clothes for photos.

🛍️Shopping recommendation
Váci Street (Váci utca) - buy foie gras and red paprika powder as souvenirs.

📌Useful tips
1️⃣ Buying a 72-hour transport card is very cost-effective.
2️⃣ For hot springs, choose the outdoor pools at Széchenyi for the best vibe.
3️⃣ Watch out for pickpockets in tourist areas!
