A river split by bridges into two very different halves, thermal baths that have been open since the Ottomans, and a ruin bar scene that turned bombed-out buildings into something worth visiting.
The best time to visit Budapest is Apr–May, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 17°C (62°F).
