Lots to see and do. Time it with a festival and enjoy local cuisine. You could easily spend most of the day there.

This is the best place to see the Pest side of the city. Castle Hill has some of the most breathtaking views of Parliament. It's just amazing. I can't explain it. It seems like you are looking at a postcard. We were lucky, because our Hotel was located right across the street from the church, part of the castle wall...

It's full of stuff to see and you won't get bored at all up there, I think I spent 3-4 hours and this without entering the main tourists attractions. Also the view from there is absolutely amazing...
The Castle Hill area was spectacular; from the Palace to the Cathedral to the Fisherman's Bastion, all were beautiful. We spent several hours on two afternoons visiting the area. The views of Budapest from the Fishermans Bastion are a must see on any visit. Also a ride up or down on the Funicular should be included in your visit.
There is a Budapest history museum and Hungarian art museum which contained some very well put together displays. Note that the History museum ticket should get you into Aquincum as well.. which we didn't realize and ended up paying twice. These museums are in the quieter palace section of Castle Hill. We spent best part of a day there.

good view the city, there is a entrance near the train that is perfect to take pictures from the bridge
Stopped off here on the bus and had a wander round, the views were stunning and found a lovely café which served cakes. Sitting in the sunshine people watching it couldn't get much better than this.
I went up on the funicular - a great way to start. Then the guard outside the Presidential Residence were fine upright young men, totally undistracted by the tourist attempts to disturb them
On the walk right round to the Church at the other end, there is a terrific shop for blouse, shirts, souvenirs that I go back to every...
