Luxury travel magazine: Budapest among the 7 coolest destinations in the world!
Change language:
After Travel+Leisure, another travel magazine mentioned Budapest in a highly positive light. The Hungarian capital has made it to Condé Nast Traveller’s list of the most beautiful and luxurious new hotels.
Condé Nast Traveller
At the beginning of January, a New York-based travel magazine, Travel+Leisure, included Budapest in its article titled “The 50 Best Places to Travel to in 2022”. Now, another travel magazine, Condé Nast Traveller, gave Budapest an honorary title: it featured the capital in a list that enumerates the most luxurious new hotels all around the world.
As we can read in Travelo’s article, every year, Condé Nast Traveller, the London-based luxury travel magazine, compiles a list of the best and most luxurious newly opened hotels. For the latest, 26th edition, 96 hotels were included in the list – and one of them is the Hungarian capital.
This year’s list was an unusual one: restaurants, culture, transport, and other aspects were taken into account in the analysis to find the top seven destinations for affluent travellers in 2022.
The list contains 7 destinations, one of which is Budapest. The “sophisticated” city, according to the magazine, has the feel of the Belle Époque, i.e., the turn of the 20th century.
Sightseeing
The author mentions the Buda Castle, the Hungarian National Gallery, the Opera House, and the hotel which helped Budapest make it to the list: the Matild Palace. The Palace includes a luxury hotel, a Michelin-star restaurant, a cabaret, and a sky bar with a breath-taking view of the city.
“The nickname Paris of the East has never resonated more,”
said the writer of the article.
Apart from the aforementioned attractions, we wholeheartedly recommend you to check out the following places in Budapest:
- Parliament building
The building of the Parliament is one of the largest buildings in the country. As The Crazy Tourist writes, there are tours of certain areas of the building that are available daily and in different languages.
- Heroes’ Square
Heroes’ Square is the largest square in Budapest in district XIV, and in a narrower sense, it marks the Millennium Monument. Heroes’ Square, together with Andrássy Avenue in front of it, is a World Heritage Site.
- Margaret Island
Apart from two hotels, restaurants, sports and bathing facilities, the open-air stage, and the Margaret Island water tower, there are no buildings on the island. This is due to the fact that the whole island is in fact a huge park, with medieval sacral architecture, sculptural alleys, small ponds, a fountain, and a zoo.
