Buda's castle hill on one bank and Pest's parliament on the other, with river boats running between them and thermal baths at either end.
The seventh district is the ruin-bar quarter and is loud until very late — stay elsewhere. Parliament tours sell out and must be booked ahead.
Add BudapestWhen to go. April to June and September. July and August are hot and humid. December's markets are good and the baths are at their best when it is freezing.

|---|---|
| Entry | No visa for Singapore passport holders for short stays. ETIAS is coming. |
| Time | Six or seven hours behind Singapore depending on the season. |
| Money | Hungarian forint, not the euro. Same rule as Prague: refuse card-machine currency conversion and avoid street exchange booths. |
| Thermal baths | Széchenyi and Gellért admit children, but the ruin-bar 'sparty' nights are adult events at the same venues. Check what you are booking. |
| Getting around | Trams and metro are cheap and the number 2 tram along the Danube is the best-value sightseeing in the city. |
| Cost | Cheaper than Prague and much cheaper than Vienna, which is two and a half hours away by train. |
| Ruin bars | The seventh district is largely bars and is loud until very late. Stay elsewhere with children. |
| Water | Tap water is safe. |
