Travel to Budapest with us

Split in two by the mighty Danube River, Budapest is something of a hidden treasure when it comes to taking a city break in Europe but it won’t take you long to see why.

In fact, if you decide to pay a visit to the Hungarian capital then there is a good chance you’ll be left wanting more and trying to work out when you can book a repeat trip…

No matter which you turn, and which side of the river you find yourself on, Budapest is a city that delivers history and culture in spades and is particularly rewarding for those with a nose for exploration.

Ok, so there are plenty of historical monuments around the heart of the city – so much so that it has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site – but there are also plenty of hidden gems for those who prefer to go off the beaten track a little.

Alongside the famous castle complex, the imposing churches and a myriad of different museums, there is the chance to board a cruise along the Danube, to relax in the natural waters of a hot spring or to simply watch the world go by as you relax with a coffee in one of the many small historic cafes that litter the city.

As with many other cities, when the sun goes down, there are plenty of opportunities to see another side to Budapest thanks to a chilled evening scene, with a range of nightclubs, bars and restaurants that will cater for all tastes.

Speaking of tastes, you’ll certainly want to sample some traditional Hungarian cuisine during your time in the city – particularly if you like your food with a little bit of spice…

Danube Cruise

Budapest is sometimes referred to as the Queen of the Danube so it will come as little surprise that a cruise along the river is one of the most popular activities for those visiting the city. You’ll be able to take in many of the sights as you cruise at leisure along the river, with various different trips available to cater for all tastes.

Hungarian National Museum

Founded in the early 1800s, the Hungarian National Museum is one of a number of museums that are located within Budapest and is home to number of important historical, artistic and archeological treasures. The building in which the museum now resides was finished in 1847 and is one of the best examples of neo-classical design to be found anywhere in the country.
