<h3>Must-see sights</h3>
Budapest is home to several landmarks that will give you a deeper connection to the city’s history and culture:

<h4>Budapest after dark: arts and nightlife</h4>
As night falls, Budapest takes on a whole new energy. If you enjoy live performances or an energetic bar scene, here are a few suggestions:
Hungarian State Opera House: This neo-Renaissance theatre offers world-class performances in a setting as beautiful as the music itself.
Ruin Pubs:  Located in abandoned buildings, these unique bars are filled with quirky decor, art installations, and live music. Szimpla Kert is the most well-known, but each ruin pub has its own personality.

<h4>Relax in Budapest’s famous thermal baths</h4>
Thermal baths are a part of everyday life in Budapest, offering a place to experience a centuries-old tradition. Each bathhouse has its own unique atmosphere, and arriving early in the day allows you to avoid crowds. Be sure to bring flip-flops, a towel, and a bathing cap to follow local etiquette. Here are a few suggestions:

<b>Széchenyi Thermal Baths </b>– One of the largest bathhouses in Europe, with outdoor pools and elegant interiors, 
<b>Gellért Baths </b>– A mix of relaxation and beauty, known for its Art Nouveau interiors and mineral-rich waters.
<b>Király Baths </b>– A smaller and quieter option that feels like going back in time to the Ottoman era.


<h3>Practical tips for your trip</h3>
A little planning is important to fully enjoy Budapest. These travel tips will help you experience the city.

<b>Best times to visit</b> – Spring and autumn offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Winter is good for festive Christmas markets and warm thermal baths.
<b>Local etiquette </b>– In restaurants, tipping 10-15% is expected. When making a toast, say "Egészségedre!" to show respect for Hungarian traditions.
<b>Getting around</b> – Budapest is easy to explore on foot, but the city’s public transport system, including trams and metro lines, makes getting from place to place simple and efficient.
