Has anyone here been there? That looks amazing, and I'm adding it to my bucket list. What's it like, and what activities and attractions are there?

Budapest or this specific rally? Budapest is real nice, but this rally was fully political, the attractions and activities are the people and politicians.

Oh, I meant Budapest itself as a travel destination

Budapest is great, Fidesz has lost control over the city government also already a good while ago.

In a way it is a mix of Prague (Buda) and Vienna (Pest).Unlike in Prague the castle district was heavily damaged in WW2 though. Budapest is probably the edgiest city of the triade Prague-Vienna-Budapest. Unlike Vienna it does feature a beautiful river front at the Danube and of course its spectacular Parliament building and of course its famous historic baths. Nightlife is probably the best of the three.
