The thing about Budapest is there’s just so much going on. You can certainly squeeze most of its brilliant attractions into one weekend, but that’s if you plan accordingly: and keep to a tight schedule.
That might mean you don’t have enough time to see every single museum in the city. But make sure you see at least a few – they’re just about as weird, wacky and wonderful as you’d expect; you’ll find a Pinball Museum and even a Zwack museum, dedicated solely to the Hungarian liquor, alongside Budapest’s most well-known national offerings. Whatever you’re into, there’s a museum for you. Here are the must-visits.
