Well if you could give us a little info on WHY you decided to go to Budapest it might help.
Also - you could search the destinations sections here to find out some of the major sights then come back with specific queries.

Definitely spend some time exploring the Buda side--castle, labrynth, Fisherman's Bastion. The Pest side has many museums, Parliament, and more cafes and restaurants, etc. Our favorite museum was the House of Terror--seriously not to be missed. You should also make time for a Hungarian bath. We really enjoyed Széchényi Spa.

There appears to be a lot of holistic bath houses, my wife's family history has some ties to Budapest, looks medievil and mysterious. What is here that we should not miss? Thank you!

One place that not mentioned so much in Budapest is the Terror Museum, which chronicles the post-WW II era through the end of the Soviet era in Hungary. Sad but interesting, and very well presented (signage is in Hungarian and English).

As above. If you can, make a trip up the the Fisherman's Bastion after 9 PM. It is free at night & the views of Pest are incredible.
