Budapest —
A stunning blend of history, culture, and vibrant city life, Budapest is one of Europe’s most captivating capitals. Formed through the unification of Buda, Pest, and Óbuda in 1873, the city boasts a rich heritage, grand architecture, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Whether you’re soaking in its famed thermal baths, exploring medieval castles, or enjoying its lively nightlife, Budapest offers an unforgettable city break.
Must-sees:
- Széchenyi Thermal Baths: The city’s most iconic bathhouse, where you can relax in naturally heated waters in stunning Neo-Baroque surroundings.
- Buda Castle & Fisherman’s Bastion: Walk through centuries of history in the Castle District and enjoy panoramic views of the Danube and the majestic Hungarian Parliament Building.
- Chain Bridge: An emblem of Budapest, this grand 19th-century suspension bridge connects Buda and Pest and offers spectacular views, especially at night.
- Hungarian Parliament Building: One of the most magnificent government buildings in the world, best admired from across the river or on a Danube cruise.
- Heroes’ Square & City Park: A grand square celebrating Hungary’s national history, leading to the lush greenery of City Park and Vajdahunyad Castle.
Culinary culture:
Hungarian cuisine is hearty, flavourful, and deeply rooted in tradition. Try goulash, a rich and spicy beef stew, or lángos, deep-fried dough topped with sour cream and cheese. The Jewish Quarter offers some of the best cafés and street food, while Budapest’s ruin bars serve traditional pálinka, a strong fruit brandy that’s a must-try. For a luxurious treat, sip coffee in the lavish surroundings of the New York Café, one of the most beautiful cafés in the world.
Dive deeper:
For a different perspective of the city, take a Danube River cruise, hopping on at Elizabeth Bridge and heading north to the charming artists' town of Szentendre. Discover the underground labyrinth beneath Buda Castle, or explore the House of Terror, a thought-provoking museum detailing Hungary’s turbulent 20th-century history. Budapest’s Jewish Quarter is a fascinating mix of history and nightlife, home to the stunning Dohány Street Synagogue and quirky ruin bars like Szimpla Kert.
Good to know:
Budapest is a walkable city, but the M1 metro line (the second-oldest metro in the world) is a great way to get around. The local currency is the Hungarian forint (HUF), and while many places accept euros, it’s best to use the local money. Visit in winter for magical Christmas markets or in summer for lively festivals like Sziget, one of Europe’s biggest music festivals. Whether you’re looking for history, relaxation, or buzzing nightlife, Budapest delivers on every level.
