Presentation of Budapest

Hungary's capital city is known the world over for its fantastic architecture, with styles from Baroque to Art Nouveau abounding. It's also a great place to relax, thanks to its many thermal baths – indeed, on package holidays to Budapest you'll realise why it's nicknamed "The City of Spas". Some of these baths double up as nightclubs, as Budapest loves to party. The old Jewish District is one of the most individual nightlife districts anywhere in Central Europe. Hungarian food is great, too, and on our low-cost holidays to Budapest, you'll find both excellent local dishes and outstanding wines to enjoy. If that sounds good to you, we'll be proud to help you travel there, so talk to us today.

Things to know before visiting Budapest

There's little bureaucracy to worry about on a flight to Budapest. British citizens just need a valid passport to enter Hungary, and you don't need to register with an Immigration Office if you're there for fewer than 90 days. You'll need to carry your passport with you during your holiday in Budapest; photocopies are not accepted as ID. Budapest's main airport is Ferenc Liszt International, often still known by its older name of Ferihegy. The airport, well positioned for our all-inclusive holiday packages to Budapest, is 10 miles to the south of the city itself. Getting there is easy, and so is booking your break with us.

What is the weather in Budapest?

This city has a variable climate, so you can find the perfect conditions for our flight and hotel deals to Budapest, whatever your preference. If you like hot, sunny weather, consider taking your flight from London to Budapest between June and August. Should you pick a flight and hotel in Budapest at this time of year, most days will get into the mid-20s Celsius, making it pleasant to sit outside in the evenings. If you'd rather enjoy picture-postcard scenes of sparkling frost and clear, fresh air, then going between January and March may be for you. These are also the driest months. Whatever you decide, at eDreams we're waiting to help you.

What to eat in Budapest?

Many people think of goulash when they hear "Hungarian cuisine", but a popular snack food to try on package holidays in Budapest is lángos, a filling and tasty fried dough covered in cheese and sour cream. Bejgli, or "spiral strudel", is a log-shaped dish filled with nuts or grains; poppy seeds are especially popular. In the winter months, Hungarians love to feast on rakott krumpli, a hearty, baked meal of sausages, eggs and potatoes, layered and topped with sour cream and cheese. For dessert, try chimney cake, ideally charcoal-baked for authenticity. Cheap holidays in Budapest will truly satisfy, and we're sure our outstanding customer service will too!
