Where to go at Easter to see all the best sights on foot and without a car
This is according to the Express
Budapest took top spot for its unique blend of medieval architecture, modern entertainment culture and pedestrian-friendliness. In the global ranking of walkability, the city was second only to Rome, taking an honourable second place.
Why you should choose Budapest for your spring trip:
-
Compact layout: the city’s main landmarks — St Stephen’s Basilica and the Parliament Building — are just a 15-minute walk apart.
-
Thermal relaxation: the Széchenyi Baths, one of Europe’s largest complexes, offer outdoor pools with water temperatures up to 38°C, ideal for March or April weather.
-
Atmosphere: visitors note the magic of the Chain Bridge at dawn, the colourful ruin bars of the Jewish Quarter, and the evening illuminations over the Danube.
-
Food: a must-visit is the Karaván food court, where you should try the traditional langos – a fried flatbread topped with garlic, cheese and sour cream.
For those who want to take a break from walking, the city has an extensive network of trams, buses and the oldest metro system in continental Europe.
