Visiting Budapest but not sure what to do?

Change language:

Why should you choose Budapest of all the places there are in Europe? Easy. It is not only beautiful, but there are a lot of fun activities, delicious food and is quite affordable.

The ideal time to visit is spring and the early summer days, as it is after the freezing cold of the winter, but before the heatwaves of summer arrive. The nice weather accentuates the beautiful features of the city. Although there are events throughout the city the whole year, this time allows visiting festivals outside for the outdoors lovers. You can see what the city has to offer on budapestinfo.hu.

I News suggest three different places to stay, based on visitors’ various needs. For bizarre art lovers, they reckon The Bohem Art Hotel to be the best choice. The hotel is covered in art — thus the name — from murals to old photographs to sculptures. There is a bar serving snacks, tea and coffee for free. Rooms start at €80 and include free wifi and breakfast.

For people who come to relax, they suggest the Danubius Health Spa Resort Margitsziget. The place has several pools to dive into at different temperatures. Extra beds to be added to the room can be required for children, free of charge. Prices start from €116 and include bed only.

Those who came for the views should go to Continental Hotel Budapest. The rooftop has a pool and leaf-shaped loungers, as well as an incredible view of the hills, the Citadella and the Cathedral. The inside is stunning as well with beautiful mosaic-tiled bathrooms and murals. Prices for room only start from €116.

Getting around the city is quite easy thanks to the public transport network of the city. One can leave the airport by cab (around €22), by bus 100E which leaves every 20 minutes (€2.76). Once you leave the airport, there are several ticket options for public transport from single tickets to months-long passes. If you want to visit many of the attractions, then the 48-Hour Budapest Card would be ideal for you, as it includes free public transport.

I News offers also offers a list of places and restaurants to visit.

You can go to one of many of the thermal baths of Budapest. Szechenyi Bath offers three outdoor and 15 indoor pools, all of which have different temperatures. A day pass with a locker costs €18.

In the mood to do a little shopping? Go to the Central Market Hall located on Vámház boulevard. It has two stories and the appearance of an old train station. Tourists swarm the top floor, while the bottom floor is full of unique honey, delicious chocolates and lots of meat.
