Visiting with a friend. We're flying out late Thursday, returning Monday evening. We've done some research and already booked/planned the following:

House of Terror Museum
Shoes on the Danube
Szechenyi Baths
Royal Palace
St. Stephen's Basilica
Parliament
Fisherman's Bastion
New York Cafe (for morning coffee)
Borkonyha (Michelin starred restaurant)
Hungarikm Bisztro (Authentic Hungarian cuisine)
Central Market Hall
Andrassy Avenue & City Park

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for anything else we absolutely shouldn't miss?

Szimpla ruin bar. And a few others just to be sure.

Beautiful place to visit.
If you cross the bridge outside Central Market on the left you have Gellert Hotel with thermal baths, which are smaller but less busy. Great to visit
Directly opposite are the chapel and network of caves.
Behind this you have the Citadella park area with a fortress.
The shoes by Danube is a very moving experience to witness.
Just up from there is Parliament Building, where there is a regular changing of the guard display in the square outside. Other side of this square is a cafe, which has an interesting chocolate museum upstairs.
Loved Budapest.,. enjoy !!

Looks like you have a good list there smile as someone else said an evening visiting the ruin bars is not to be missed, IMO this was a real highlight of Budapest as there are so many and some are very quirky.

Also heard good things about this
