Question Best Day Tour Options in Budapest

[GlobalNomad22]

We're on a Viking tour and have a free day coming up in Budapest. There are four of us, and we usually book a city tour to explore. Budapest seems packed with history and beauty, but we're torn between a Danube River cruise, visiting the Buda Castle, or exploring the thermal baths. Has anyone done a day tour in Budapest that they absolutely loved? Any hidden gems or must-see spots we shouldn't miss?

Budapest is such a gem! For a day tour, I’d suggest combining a bit of everything. Start with a morning visit to Buda Castle for stunning views and history, then unwind at one of the thermal baths in the afternoon—Széchenyi is iconic but Gellért has a more unique vibe. Wrap up with a Danube River cruise at sunset; it’s magical. Have you thought about squeezing in a visit to the ruin bars for a quirky local experience?
