From the majestic Parliament building on the banks of the Danube, all the way to Vaci Street, this route takes you to see the top destinations in Budapest's Pest side. From the Parliament, you can see the Chain Bridge straight ahead, with the St. Stephen's Basilica, built in 1896, positioned just beyond it. Take advantage of the spectacular city views from St. Stephen's observation deck, or replenish your energy with some coffee in the very heart of Pest, the pedestrian Váci street. After that visit the Great Market Hall, the largest, and oldest marketplace in the capital.
