Description
Breathtaking breaks in Budapest
Trips to Budapest with Weekender Breaks guarantee you a vacation full of new experiences and fun and fascinating things to do. A getaway to Hungary’s capital will give you a glimpse into the country’s past and way of life in the present day.
In addition to the most popular attractions mentioned in the introduction above, a Budapest vacation also has the capacity to surprise and delight you. Some of the places off the beaten track include the Flipper Muzeum, which is entirely dedicated to pinball. In the city’s Liberty Square, you’ll find a statue of former US President Ronald Reagan, due to his efforts in helping to end the Cold War. If you’re a movie buff, we’d highly recommend a visit to Uránia Nemzeti Filmszínház, an incredible Art Nouveau cinema near many other attractions in the city center.
We’re now going to dive into a little bit more detail on the thermal baths. This is a must-have experience on your vacation to Budapest because it’s a local tradition and is said to have multiple health benefits. Whether you’ve been enjoying a bit too much of the local food and drink or just want to relax after a busy time touring the various sights, you should go to either Szechenyi Bath or Rudas Thermal Bath, in our opinion. The latter even has a rooftop pool with unrivaled views over the Budapest skyline.
Hungarian hospitality
Budapest trips are also renowned for the fantastic array of cuisine you’ll find all over the city at very reasonable prices. We urge you to devour local dishes such as goulash soup, chicken paprikash, dobos cake and Hungarian trifle, known locally as Somlói galuska.
Going out for a drink in Budapest is unlike any other European city. It has a collection of ‘Ruin Bars’ in the Jewish Quarter. These previously abandoned buildings provide an awesome atmosphere and backdrop for a wonderful night out. Hungary produces lots of great wines, and there’s an established craft beer scene with a huge selection of brews to try.
We’ve barely scratched the surface of what you can do when you book your Budapest vacation package. It’s a delightful and dazzling city with a wealth of attractions for all ages.
