For those that want to tickle the bookworm inside them, you should check the Szabo Ervin Library. This often-ignored by tourists beauty is located in the Wenckheim Palace. The library used to be a mansion but its rooms were converted into reading rooms by the Budapest city council in 1931. So, if you want to take a break from the noise of the more populated tourist attractions of Budapest, you can always sneak into the Szabo Ervin Library and take a look at its many books, gorgeous chandeliers, and aristocratic dark wood rooms and bookshelves. Of course, Budapest has even more to offer for the more enthusiastic tourist who can’t be satisfied with just 30 awesome attractions. We can’t go over every single sight worth seeing, however, as this article would need to be a book instead. Suffice it to say that these top 30 things to do in Budapest are indeed must-sees so we hope you’ll have time for all of them.
