Budapest
BUDAPEST, hungary
Get the best of budapest
Split in two with Buda on one side of the Danube River and Pest on the other, Hungary’s biggest city is twice the fun. Featuring a mosaic of pop-up rooftop ruin bars, opulent architecture, and rejuvenating centuries-old thermal Turkish bath houses, Budapest is Central Europe’s most photogenic destination.
The city’s fascinating history, palatial Castle District, and absolutely unrivaled nightlife make Budapest a must-see for culture and music lovers. Budapest is mindblowing in every season, but spring brings a certain air of magic to this fairytale city full of hidden gems and wonderful discoveries around every corner.
Tour the glorious Gothic-revival parliament building, stroll along the picturesque Danube promenade, grab a pastry from the city’s most famous patisserie and enjoy the view from the fairytale-like Fisherman’s Bastion. In the afternoon, sink into a steaming hot spa in an exquisite art nouveau or ancient Turkish bath house before cap your day off by dancing the night away under the stars in a dreamy rooftop club.

On Friday night, we have a Danube cruise on a party boat to really welcome you to Hungary.

THermal Baths and all the laughs
On Saturday you’ll explore the sights of Budapest, like the palatial Parliament House on the water, getting a panorama of the city from Fisherman’s Bastion, or checking out some vintage threads at Ecseri Flea Market. In the afternoon you’ll join us for a guided tour and pub crawl in the “ruin bar” district (if you arrived on Thursday this is your second visit – but this time we’ll do something really special) before dancing the night away to beats from internationally renowned DJs at an event in one of Budapest’s best clubs.

NEVER HUNGRY IN HUNGARY!
Although most travelers will depart on Sunday, those who get to stay an extra night in Hungary’s magnetic city can make sure they’ve seen all of Budapest’s best monuments and iconic hotspots. We’ve got an unforgettable Hungarian wine tasting planned for Sunday night in the famed Buda Castle cellar as a toast to your wild weekend. Next up let’s try our luck with a St Patrick’s weekend in Dublin.
