Skip the thermal bath: there isn&rsquo;t time for it and Castle Hill. The route costs about <strong>31,000 HUF (€85)</strong> with the Parliament tour, or about <strong>17,000 HUF (€46)</strong> without it.</div> </div> </div> <p>One day in Budapest works surprisingly well, because the city&rsquo;s big sights line up along the river. The trick is doing Pest in the morning and Buda in the afternoon, so you reach Fisherman&rsquo;s Bastion as the sun sets over the hills behind you and turns the Parliament gold across the water. Then you see the whole thing again, lit up, from a boat.</p>
