Onward to your final stop of the trip - Budapest. Here you can soak away the tiredness of your travel day in Széchenyi Thermal Bath.

Budapest invites you to explore its rich tapestry of history, culture, and contemporary vibrancy - this city is brimming with life. Admire the iconic Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle with its panoramic views, the Chain Bridge linking Buda and Pest, the poignant Shoes on the Danube Bank memorial, and the grand Heroes' Square, which collectively narrate the city's rich history and stunning architecture along the majestic Danube River. Embark on a culinary adventure through its thriving food scene, savouring traditional dishes like goulash, chicken paprikash and fisherman's soup. End your nights enjoying Budapest's nightlife and visit its "ruin bars" - a testament to the city's creative spirit. These quirky, eclectic venues are often set in abandoned buildings, where art, music, and revelry converge in an electrifying atmosphere.
