Hungary’s capital city is an historic and beautiful delight of a city. Budapest is packed with elegant architecture, magnificent monuments and dominated by the legendary River Danube. The unique charm of short breaks to Budapest is the contrast between Buda and Pest. The majority of visitors to Budapest will focus on the cobbled streets and beautifully restored medieval buildings in Buda and the magnificent Castle District with its museums and fine views of the Danube. If you can stay for a long weekend it would give you time to explore the boulevards of Pest and its curious mixture of architectural styles.

City breaks to this friendly, unpretentious, atmospheric city are packed with Hungarian character and charm and offer an appealing mix of old and new: fashionable boutiques and traditional markets, old-fashioned pubs and trendy nightclubs, Magyar restaurants and opulent casinos. The city will also appeal to all fans of pavement cafes, museums and classical parks. Not to be missed are the famous spa baths and the opulent Art Deco and Art Nouveau hotels attached.

The city is easy to walk around and is dotted with magnificent sights like the Chain Bridge, the Royal Palace, St Matthias Church and the Jewish Synagogue. Highlights of any Budapest weekend break are fantastic viewpoints like Gellert Hill and the magnificent Fisherman's Bastion castle ramparts. City breaks to Budapest enjoy an especially romantic atmosphere at night when the Danube and the surrounding bridges and historic buildings are beautifully lit.
