Visiting Budapest: 3 - 4 Day Suggested Itinerary (Updated 2025)

"Built in a natural cave on Gellért Hill in the 1920s, this unusual church has a dramatic history—used as a hospital in WWII, sealed by the Communist government afterward, and rich in stories—so I recommend using the audio guide to fully appreciate the context." - Matthew Kepnes
