Best time to visit
Budapest is lovely year-round, but March–April and September–October offer comfortable temperatures without summer heat or winter chill. July and August are peak tourist season, so expect crowds. Spring is ideal if you want flowers, thermal baths and fewer tourists. Keep an eye out for special offers during these windows.
What to do when you arrive
Budapest draws visitors with its historic thermal baths (Széchenyi, Gellért), the Parliament building overlooking the Danube and the Jewish Quarter with its synagogues. Stroll across the Chain Bridge, climb up to Buda Castle and sample traditional Hungarian cuisine. Ferenc Liszt Airport is 16 km from the city centre; buses, taxis and the metro will get you there quickly. Three to four days covers the essentials nicely.
