If you’re searching for unique selfie spots in Budapest, you’ve come to the right place. Of course, the city is famous for its postcard-perfect views of the Parliament, Chain Bridge, and Fisherman’s Bastion — but if you’re looking for something different, modern, and a little unexpected, this guide is for you. Here are six selfie spots that bring out the city’s creative side, from colourful murals to futuristic architecture. Jewish Quarter Murals – Colourful & Playful The old Jewish Quarter is full of life — not only in its cafés and ruin bars but also on its walls. Many buildings are decorated with large murals that change from time to time, making each photo unique. They’re bold, vibrant, and the perfect backdrop if you want a splash of colour in your Budapest memories. Pro tip: Explore Kazinczy Street and its side streets for the best mural finds. House of Music – Organic & Flowing Set in City Park, the House of Music is one of Budapest’s newest and most impressive buildings. Its wavy, perforated roof looks like it grew out of the trees, blending architecture with nature. A dream location if you’re looking for something modern yet organic. Pro tip: Visit during the golden hour — the light through the trees adds a magical touch. Filatorigát Graffitis – Urban & Creative By the suburban railway station at Filatorigát, you’ll find Budapest’s biggest open-air graffiti wall. It’s raw, ever-changing, and bursting with creativity. The perfect spot if you’re into street art or want a truly urban background. Pro tip: Check it out on weekends when local artists often add new works. Bálna (“The Whale”) – Geometric & Edgy This glass-and-steel building on the Danube is impossible to miss. Its sharp angles and striking design make it one of the most eye-catching

There’s something truly magical about Budapest that never fades, no matter how many times I walk its streets. From the golden light of sunrise over the Danube to the glow of Parliament at night, every hour brings a new kind of beauty. I love capturing these moments—quiet alleys, bustling markets, soft reflections on the river—each one telling a part of the city’s story. Taking photos and videos here isn’t just about visuals; it’s about emotion, rhythm, and the atmosphere of everyday life. With every shot, I try to preserve the feeling of being here: the laughter from a café, the hush in a church, the buzz of trams gliding by. Creating this video is my way of sharing that energy, that intimacy, that wonder. Budapest always gives me something new to fall in love with—and I hope you feel a bit of that in every frame. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FF69rCGD9a4

Tucked away in Budapest’s City Park, Vajdahunyad Castle is one of the city's most charming and photogenic landmarks. Originally built in 1896 for the Millennium Exhibition, the castle showcases a mix of architectural styles — Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque — all in one fairytale-like complex. It was designed to represent the diverse architectural heritage of Hungary, and walking through its grounds feels like stepping into different centuries. From the front, the Gothic towers and arched windows echo the legendary Transylvanian castle of the same name. A walk around the back reveals peaceful courtyards, ivy-covered walls, and stunning reflections on the lake. Each angle offers a new photo opportunity, whether you're standing on the bridge or capturing the castle through the trees. Vajdahunyad Castle isn’t just a photogenic site—it also houses Hungary’s Museum of Agriculture, the largest of its kind in Europe. Visitors can explore both the architectural beauty and fascinating exhibits inside. A guided tour brings the whole story to life, connecting history, legend, and daily life in Hungary. Inside, the Museum of Hungarian Agriculture is surprisingly fascinating, and nearby, you’ll find statues of historical figures and a whimsical sculpture of Anonymous, the medieval chronicler. For a truly magical view over Vajdahunyad Castle, don’t miss the chance to climb the castle’s tower or take a ride in the hot air balloon in City Park. Both options offer a unique perspective of this storybook landmark and its stunning surroundings. It’s an unforgettable way to see Budapest from above — peaceful, panoramic, and perfect for photos! To truly appreciate Vajdahunyad Castle’s stories and its place in Budapest’s cultural landscape, I recommend joining a customised walking or driving tour.
