Four days in Budapest split between the Buda hills and the flat streets of Pest. Day one climbs Castle Hill for Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion and Matthias Church. Day two crosses to Pest for Parliament, St. Stephen's Basilica and the Shoes on the Danube Bank. Day three is City Park, with a soak at Széchenyi Baths. Day four goes underground at the Hospital in the Rock, then up Gellért Hill to the Citadella and down to the Gellért Baths.
