Budapest: how many days
 

I am traveling solo and at present have seven nights scheduled in Budapest. My pace is quite leisurely, but still I am wondering if this is too many days to spend here. I am arriving on May 19, midday. I plan to make several visits to thermal baths, go to a concert at St. Stephen's, shop at the Central Market, take a mini Danube cruise, and sit at cafes and people-watch. I am thinking about scheduling a dinner with a local family. I will probably take a highlights of Budapest tour. Could I do that in three and a half days rather than six?

I have already visited Matthias Church and Fisherman's Bastion on a previous trip. I am going back to Budapest because last time I missed a lot due to jet lag and a flawed itinerary.

Are you going to go to the Weeping Willow? Will you go to the Dohany Synagogue? What about a Parliament visit? Tour St. Itzvan's? Trip to City Park? Terror Museum? Szoborpark? Buda Castle?

Seriously, are you going to do anything other than sit in cafes or visit the thermal baths? If not, that's a thin set of activities for seven nights ...

For the activities you list, I would think that 3.5 days would be enough; YMMV.
