Do you like art? Budapest has some amazing art museums, if you're interested I can recommend names of places I visited and really enjoyed. Margaret Island is a really nice place to go for a walk/spend an afternoon. The Budapest Castle District is a great area if you like history and museums, lots to see, hard to see everything in a full day. I was told by a few people that the Zoo was really cool for some reason, but don't remember why and didn't go myself. But I can say, the area around the Zoo, like Margaret Island, is very pretty and definitely worth walking around - you'll be there too late in the year, but right in that same area they have a massive ice skating rink which is always packed!
The entire Buda side of the city is great for history and site seeing, it also has some cool caves you can go into, very neat! The Pest side of the city is much better for nightlife/dinning/shopping. The city is very photogenic, I've been to many places in my life but never taken more pictures in one city then I did in Budapest. Hope that helps.
Edit: Also, if you and the wife like this kind of thing, there are lots of great thermal baths, including the largest one in Europe, Szechenyi Bath and Spa Budapest. I went to Szechenyi and it is pretty crazy and would recommend it after a long day of sightseeing!
