There is plenty to see in Budapest:
Walk down Váci Utca. It's a sort of pedestrianized mini Bond Street/Fifth Avenue. Make sure not to miss the beautiful covered market at the end of Váci utca. Walk along the Danube if it’s not too cold. Admire the Parliament Building and visit local coffee shops for cappuccino/cake.
Make sure you don't miss the Fine Arts Museum at H?sök tere. Or if you're in a more somber mood reflect on events at the Terror Háza (Andrássy út 60). Here you will see 20th century history of Hungary’s oppression under occupying forces. Walk there in 20 min via Oktagon.
On route you could shop at the Westend City Center (Teréz körút). It has a reasonable supermarket but do avoid the awful fast food.
My favourite other museums are the National Museum (Complete history of Hungary), Jewish Museum/Synagogue, the Postal Museum and the Subway Museum. And before you leave you must see and photograph the Opera house. Better still, book some tickets.
