[2025 Budapest Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Budapest City Centre (Updated Feb)

#100waysoftravel Budapest is lucky enough to have what are undoubtedly some of the world's most beautiful libraries, and many are protected monuments of national importance (what's known as a "műemlék" in Hungarian). Located in the heart of Budapest, the whole building is impressive. It was built with a library in mind in 1876 to the plans of Antal Skalnitzky, but it's important to note that the University Library had been operating since much earlier at other locations. This was the first public library in Hungary. The classic reading hall is some 200 square meters and is currently undergoing renovations, but in the near future it will be open to the public to use as a reading hall once more. The frescos here are by Hungarian painter Károly Lotz and depict female figures, symbolic of the sciences and arts. Address: Budapest 1053, Ferenciek Square 6. Access: It’s open to the public to view, and guided tours can also be arranged.

As the sky turns shades of orange and pink, the city’s iconic landmarks—Buda Castle, the Hungarian Parliament Building, and the Chain Bridge—glow beautifully against the fading light. My favorite spot? The banks of the river near the Fisherman’s Bastion or a Danube river cruise, where the reflections on the water make the view even more magical. Whether you’re strolling along the promenade or relaxing with a drink at a riverside café, this is the perfect way to end your day in Budapest!
