Fly to Budapest, the capital of Hungary and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. This magnificent city, separated in two parts by the Danube River, is home to over 1.7 million people but receives twice that number of tourists each year. Flying to Budapest is easy but choosing what to visit and do is somewhat harder. The Széchenyi Chain Bridge, built in 1848, is definitely worth visiting as is Margaret Island, a huge park with dance clubs, swimming pools, an aqua park and several fitness centres. Fly to Budapest for the summer Island Festival, a firm favourite with visitors and locals alike. You may be tempted to visit one of the many spas built around the city’s 80 geothermal springs, the world’s largest thermal water cave system. A flight to Budapest is the beginning of a holiday packed with different activities and interesting places. Castle Hill and the River Danube embankment are both UNESCO World Heritage sites with charming streets, elegant squares and several museums to visit. Jet-skiing and wake boarding are available on the man-made island of Hajógyári-sziget which also has some great night clubs open in the evening.

Budapest, known as the 'Queen of the Danube', is a magnificent city exuding a cultural sophistication that entices and enchants. Gracing both sides of the legendary river with grand historic buildings, regal bridges and graceful tree-lined boulevards, it is the city's elegant beauty and romantic atmosphere that has given Budapest Parisian status among the Eastern European countries.
Budapest offers the visitor the familiarity of European culture with a distinct Hungarian flavour. It is evident in the neo-Gothic Parliament buildings, sidewalk cafes and Magyar cuisine; classical concerts and Hungarian folk music; the cobbled streets of medieval neighbourhoods and shady parks, and everywhere the sounds of an unfamiliar language. Highlights for visitors include a river cruise on the Danube and a thermal bath in one of the Turkish-era bathhouses.

Budapest was originally two cities built on either side of the Danube, namely Buda and Pest. The two districts are still distinct in their contrasting makeup, with the older and more charming Buda comprising of atmospheric cobbled streets, little picturesque coloured houses and a medieval, neo-Classical mixture of architecture set among the gentle hills of the west bank. It is famous for its historic Castle Hill featuring the Royal Palace, museums and galleries, St Matthias Church and the ramparts of Fisherman's Bastion.
Pest lies on a flat plain and is the commercial core of the city. It bustles with fashionable shopping areas and has characteristically wide, leafy boulevards. Andrássy Boulevard is the Champs-Elysées of Budapest, lined with a typical mosaic of architectural styles and buildings with the enormous Heroes' Square at the end.
A history of numerous wars and invasions, with repeated destruction and rebuilding, has created the Budapest of today, with an amalgamation of styles, created over time during periods of loving restoration by a proud and resilient nation of people; a city of charm and character, both European and singularly Hungarian.
Why? To experience a holiday in Budapest is to revel in one of the world's most beautiful cities, which not only offers breathtaking classical architecture but also stunning vistas across the wide, romantic Danube River. Another reason to travel to Budapest is for the city's renowned operatic and music events and to relax and rejuvenate in its famed spa baths.
When? Summer (between April and September) is undoubtedly the best time for a Budapest holiday, when long days are generally sunny and warm, albeit with a little uncomfortable humidity. Snow is common in winter. Most choose their time to travel to Budapest to coincide with one of the major events, like the Sziget rock festival or Formula 1 Grand Prix in August, or the Summer Classical Music Festival.
Who for? Budapest is a city for all to enjoy. A holiday in Budapest can be a romantic get-away for two, a memorable experience for music or opera fundis, fun for families, fascinating for sightseers, or a rocking time for festivalgoers.
Budapest is the new weekend break hotspot for the Irish. The Irish have varied agendas when arriving in Hungary- many go to buy property, to get cheap dental treatment, or simply to go normal shopping. From antiques to crystals, jewellery and the latest fashion to local food and drink specialties - you can find it all either in the elegant boutiques of the city centre or in one of the many large American style shopping malls. And if you're tired after all that shopping- sit yourself down in a typical Hungarian coffee house and sample the delicious confectionary- it really is a must!
