Budapest is two cities in one – hilly Buda with its castle and Fisherman's Bastion, and lively Pest with the grand Parliament building on the Danube. Cruise the river at night when the bridges and Parliament light up, relax in the famous Széchenyi or Gellért thermal baths, and take a day trip to the Danube Bend and the artists' town of Szentendre.
Most trips are 3 to 6 nights, often combined with Vienna and Prague by train or coach. Budapest is one of Europe's best-value capitals, with good Indian restaurants. Every Trip Inventor package can be customised with hotels, cruises and flights from your city.
