Scandinavian chic, German traditions or maybe something different?

It's Christmas time

If you’re hitting up the Christmas markets, what better way to get into the festive spirit than by popping on our special yuletide themed playlist. Sit back with a mulled wine and grab a cheeky mince pie, because it’s never too early to break out the Buble.

It’s a city of two sides – the ruined past and the dynamic present. You can see both just by lounging in a bath lit by funky modern lighting at the historical Gellért spa. Whether you want to haunt the castle district or prop up a ruin bar, Budapest has all the makings of a fantastic city break.
