What people love about Budapest Tours
- Budapest to Oktoberfest Weekender
I caught the bus from Budapest to Oktoberfest with Stoke Travel, that was absolutely an amazing trip for me. We talked a lot and played games on the bus. Ahh one of my friends really like that stoke bus guide and got his number! But I got a bit cold in the tents because it was freezing in the early morning so better to take one more blanket. But the staff were super nice and gave us extra sleeping bags. Really had an awesome time and definitely the one I'll never forget.
- Budapest - Vienna - Salzburg
Awesome trip to three incredible destinations. All very different from Budapest (one of the more unique European cities I've been to) to Vienna (very grand) to Salzburg (like something from a postcard with the castle over the city, the architecture and surrounded by Alps). I was lucky enough to do the the trip at the end of November when each city had the Christmas markets, and Salzburg's mountains were covered in snow. Any trips during the winter months are beautiful there. Highlight of the trip though was definitely Budapest. Really beautiful city, on a big scale, and super fun and cheap. Started our Friday off with the walking tour (Peter was a top notch guide), that afternoon at the Szechenyi baths, and then a night cruise and party on the Danube river. Trip was put together incredibly well with a busy, but efficient itinerary (it's a busy weekend so there is travel each day) so you see and experience the three cities in a weekend. Hostels were great as were the included tours and also optional stuff like the thermal bath and night cruise in Budapest, night out at the Bermuda Triangle bar area in Vienna and Sound of Music tour in Salzburg (and after the beer stop at Augustiner!). Trip leader was super friendly, helpful and professional. Definitely recommend Euroadventures for a great experience and trip!
- Bucharest & Transylvania to Budapest - Small Group Tour
This tour was an absolute delight, offering a perfect blend of history, culture, and relaxation. From the moment we arrived, the itinerary was well-organized, and the pace was just right, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in each city. The accommodations were comfortable, and the included meals introduced us to some fantastic local cuisine.
What our customers ask about Budapest Tours & Trips
What are the must-visit attractions in Budapest for first-time visitors?
First-time visitors will find Budapest's key sights concentrated along the Danube River. The neo-Gothic Parliament Building stands as the city's most recognized landmark with its ornate spires and riverside location. The Castle District houses both Buda Castle and Matthias Church combining medieval architecture with modern restoration. St. Stephen's Basilica draws visitors for its impressive dome and religious significance while Heroes' Square represents Hungarian history through its monumental statues. The Fisherman's Bastion provides elevated views across the Danube to Pest. A TourRadar traveler noted "The city marvels with its grand architecture and enchanting mix of European & Asian influences with a scale that rivals Paris." Most guided tours include these destinations with stops near the InterContinental Budapest.
What are the best areas to stay in Budapest for first-time visitors?
The Castle District and District V (Belváros) serve as the most convenient bases for exploring Budapest. Hotel Danubius Hungaria City Center in District V puts visitors within walking distance of major sites including St. Stephen's Basilica the Chain Bridge and Parliament. The streets around Váci utca buzz with activity. According to TourRadar travelers this area is "perfect for exploring the historic sites and enjoying the local restaurants." The Jewish Quarter on the Pest side appeals to night owls with its ruin bars emerging food scene and direct access to public transportation.
What's the best way to experience Budapest's thermal baths?
Budapest's thermal bath culture centers on the Szechenyi Baths in City Park where 18 pools ranging from warm to hot provide year-round relaxation. Visitors should plan for 3-4 hours to fully experience the facilities arriving early morning or after 4 pm to avoid peak crowds. One TourRadar visitor shared "Relaxing in Szechenyi Thermal Spa was a highlight of our trip especially after a morning of sightseeing." The Art Nouveau Gellert Baths next to Gellert Hotel offer a more intimate setting with their decorated halls and therapeutic waters.
What is the best time of year to visit Budapest?
Budapest sees its highest visitor numbers from June through August when warm weather draws crowds to outdoor cafes and riverside walks. The shoulder seasons of April-May and September-October offer milder temperatures and fewer tourists making these months ideal for exploring thermal baths and walking tours. A TourRadar visitor reported "The weather in September was perfect for exploring both Buda and Pest sides of the city." December brings traditional Christmas markets to Vorosmarty Square though temperatures often drop below freezing.
How do I get around Budapest efficiently?
Budapest's integrated transit network connects all major sites through metros trams and buses. The historic Metro Line 1 serves as a tourist route itself linking Heroes' Square to the Opera House. Visitors can purchase a Budapest Card or 72-hour pass for unlimited rides. A TourRadar user confirms "The city's public transport is very efficient and connects all major sights especially from central locations like the Sofitel Budapest Chain Bridge hotel." Trams 2 and 4-6 prove particularly useful running along the Danube and Grand Boulevard.
What day trips are possible from Budapest?
The Danube Bend towns offer rich cultural excursions within an hour's train ride from Budapest's Nyugati station. Szentendre Visegrád and Esztergom each present distinct historical attractions while the Etyek wine region 30 minutes away specializes in local wine production and tastings. A TourRadar visitor shared "The trip to Szentendre was a highlight - it's a baroque city called the Artists' Village with great shopping and atmosphere." Most tour operators arrange pickup from central hotels including the Kempinski Hotel Corvinus Budapest.
