Budapest is two cities in one — hilly, historic Buda and flat, buzzing Pest — stitched together by the Danube and some of Europe's grandest bridges.
Where to stay
District V (Belváros) puts you central and walkable. District VII is the Jewish Quarter and ruin-bar heartland — great for nights out, less quiet.
How to get there
Direct flights from London to Budapest (BUD) in 2h30 — often the cheapest European city break going.
Don't miss
An early-morning soak at Széchenyi before the crowds. A langos at the Great Market Hall. Sunset from the Fisherman's Bastion.
Highlights
- Széchenyi baths
- Buda Castle
- Ruin bars
- Danube river cruise
