• St. Stephen’s Basilica – Flat square and ramp access, plus elevators inside.

• Heroes’ Square & City Park (Városliget) – Wide open spaces, smooth paths, and easy bus access.

• Central Market Hall (Nagycsarnok) – Spacious, covered, and full of delicious local food stalls.

• Buda Castle area – Combine a Hop On Hop Off ride with the funicular or accessible minibus service for the upper castle district.
