Things to do in Budapest and around Budapest: Places to have fun

You can take a boat ride and see the night view of this city. This is a great thing to do and you can combine it with dinner as well. Of course, it is a very touristy thing to do but you should still do it. The view is astonishing.

You can get a night view from the Castle Hill too. If you take the cable car up, then you can walk all the way to the Matthias Church and then walk down to the foot of the hill. On a clear day, which would mean most of the days anyway, it is a wonderful walk.

As a thing to do you could take the surface rail from Batthanyi square (a metro station at the red line) to Szentendre. This is a small town a bit north of Budapest and has a nice selection of restaurants and cafes. You could also take the boat back to the city, instead of the rail. (In reality, Szentendre used to be a Serbian village, as it can still be seen from the several Orthodox churches around the town.)
