My advice to YOU!
As you might know, Budapest is a city divided by 2 parts BUDA & PEST with the Danube separating both of them. When considering your hotel, if you are on a Honeymoon or would like to stay more in a luxurious hotel or a fancy neighborhood, choose the BUDA side. On the other hand, if you are looking more for the local and vibrant experience chose the PEST side.
Also, although, Budapest is simply breathtaking, I would recommend a road trip. My advice to you is to consider visiting other surrounding Capitals like Prague & Vienna.
Now, Budapest is all about history, history and history😅 Well kidding its not just it, you will get to try some great food, indulge yourself in their unique thermal bath and explore some beautiful landmarks and experiences.
