A few days is plenty. We did the aforementioned chain bridge over to the castle. Went to one of those outside steam baths/pools by Hero Square which I wasnāt happy about. A few museums (including museum of terror). Also went to a few ruin bars (literally ruined buildings converted into hipster bars). Iād say the top 10 or 20 things to do on Trip Advisor cover it. Went to a couple of nice restaurants too - I recall one was called Onyx and was very good.

Climb the mountain. Spectacular views. Oogle the women. Avoid the gypsies. Keep your wallet in your front pocket.

Three days was plenty but itās a grand spot, the weather was an unexpected bonus, in the mid 20s every day.
Great metro system, one of the easiest to follow, did loads of walking but itās very pleasant when thereās so much to see, the local food is basic but not too bad, the ghoulash soup is great when you shovel in the chilies and paprika, itād be a great city to do some shopping in but it wasnāt really on the agenda, couldnāt believe the amount of high end shops. The ruin bars are quite cool but the bar staff at two of them were up their own holes.
I have to mention the museum of terror, Iāve been to museums all over the world and itās one of the best Iāve been in, an amazing description of the dark side of Hungary from the 30s to 89, a must do.
Nice city for a short break, 7/10
Edit: the thermal baths were brilliant as well

What do you want to know? Itāll be cold this time if year, and chance of snow. Your missus will love it if sheās not been.
Heās taking Brady.
Just any must dos - tho from what I gather, itās small enough to just stroll around and enjoy what ever you stumble across. The crimbo market starts tomorrow and Iāve Ribs n Beerā booked for Saturday night ā Did you do a brewery tour while there? or did you make it here?
Christmas market shouldnāt start until the beginning of advent ideally. December 2nd.

Yeah Iāve been in there, itās nice alright but youād only stay an hour. Fairly touristy. Thereās a bar if you can get to upstairs overlooking the square on a balcony itās worth doing. I think the bar might be attached to a beer museum, but we could skip the museum and go straight for their bar. I did the Bruges Zot brewery tour. I think these brewery tours are all meh. But do try Bruges Zot itās their local blond beer and very nice. Just amble around and youāll find stuff to do. Thereās some great eating houses there. Iād say go up the belfry for a view of the whole town, thatās worthwhile. Donāt eat in the main square.

If youāve seen one brewery youāve seen them all. They never show you the dwarves and hobbits that make the beer either.
