Budapest

Nathan, Rebecca & Oliver have all visited Budapest so can offer first-hand knowledge and advice when booking with us.

Budapest

Budapest has diverse history, incredible architecture and a fascinating cultural heritage. Hungary’s capital is often referred to as the ‘Paris of Eastern Europe’ and in recent years has become a popular tourism destination. The city sits on either side of a gentle curve in the Danube River, the Buda hills rising dramatically on the west bank while the Pest district, giving the city its name “Budapest”.

The iconic 19th-century “Chain Bridge” connects the hilly Buda district with flat Pest. A funicular runs up Castle Hill to Buda’s Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum traces city life from Roman times onward. Trinity Square is home to 13th-century Matthias Church and the turrets of the Fishermen’s Bastion, which offer sweeping views.

The city offers some more unusual attractions including the Szechenyi Baths. These are an oasis of calm in bustling Budapest, with luxury spa treatments, saunas, and massages in the grandeur of a sprawling 20th-century Turkish building.

Testimonials:
- A great family city

Budapest was the first city I took my wife and two boys to for a short break. On our first day we had a guide to show us the main sights and also explain the easiest way to get around with the buggy and boys. Needless to say, everyone enjoyed it and Harry and Cole in particular were glued to the historic architecture which they found very impressive!
