This is the last installment on the Budapest series. On my travel guide to 48 hours in Budapest you can find travel tips to plan your itinerary to Hungary’s capital and on Budapest for Foodies you can find the best restaurants. Now it’s time to share the most instagrammable places in Budapest, hopefully these photos will help you plan your trip or inspire you to travel there soon.
This first instagrammable spot in Budapest is one of its most important landmarks: the Hungarian Parliament. Take a look all around, explore it 360º, you'll find endless photography possibilities. The building is gorgeous from every single angle! The yellow trams are another Budapest classic which you can capture around the Parliament building.
The Parliament is located by the river which means you can get spectacular views of Buda as well.
Photography tip: cross the Danube to Batthany ter to get a great view of the whole building. Go there in the afternoon to have the sun on your back.

Photography tip: if you want to get a dreamy photo, channel your inner #dametraveler and feel like the queen of the castle, skip that beauty sleep and wake up as early as possible. Fisherman's Bastion is open 24/7 and gets crowded fast so be the first one there to have the place to yourself.
When it comes to restaurants, Budapest is a city of contrasts. On the one hand, you have classic cafes with beautiful frescoes like New York Cafe or Cafe Parisi. On the other hand, the kitsch ruin bars. Despite the contrast, both are Instagram worthy.

The world famous thermal baths in Budapest are a must if you a) love pools, b) have an Instagram account. We visited Szechenyi Thermal Bath and loved every minute of it.
Photography tip: photography is allowed in the baths, but keep in mind that not everybody likes to have their photo taken, especially in a swimsuit. Try to take general photos where you can't see individuals very well. They advise you to leave expensive photography equipment in the hotel, use your phone with a waterproof case or a GoPro instead.
If you need more ideas...
- Vajdahunyad Castle is another dreamy spot in Budapest. This replica of a Transilvania castle will get you the perfect Instagram photo.
- Liberty Bridge (first photo) is one of the most beautiful bridges that crosses the Danube. The green structure is the perfect setting for a few Instagram worthy snaps. Other beautiful bridges are Chain Bridge and Margaret Bridge.
