Budapest and Vienna
Budapest
People from all over the world visit Budapest to experience the city’s rich history, natural sites, and unique cuisine. There are plenty of bathhouses, a famous hallmark of Budapest, which still operate today and allow you to soak in mineral water that’s coming straight from the over 100 thermal springs surrounding the city. The architectural beauty of Budapest has gained it the nickname “The Paris of the East,” for its Roman ruins, contemporary postmodern designs, and an array of major works commissioned in 1896 to mark the millennium since the arrival of the Magyars in Hungary. And still, a modern nightlife scene attracts a younger crowd. Budapest travel offers something for everyone.
Budapest is a dual city, made up of the twin cities Buda, on the West side of the river Danube and Pest on the East. The cities became one in 1873. Buda is considered the more sedate and Pest the livelier of the city’s halves, though these distinctions are now largely a matter of tradition. Travel to Budapest and enjoy both amazing sides. Hungarian is a difficult language to speak, but it’s possible to make your way around Budapest with English or sometimes French. Our Budapest travel guide will help you get around, too.
Vienna
Vienna is a city that charms and seduces from scratch but deepens the longer you stay. Whether you’re visiting for fast-track travel or slow-paced sightseeing, and regardless of how many times you’ve been before, there’s a seemingly never-ending wealth of things to do and see throughout the year. Consistently ranked as offering the highest quality of life in the world, Vienna entices locals and visitors alike with splendid attractions, world-class events, excellent public transport, a modern city bike scheme, fabulous eateries, cafés, bars and wineries, shops and street markets.
The cold weather between December and March shouldn’t be a damper. There are plenty of places to warm up. What’s more, with street markets aglow and the ball season in full swing it’s a fun time to visit. By April milder temperatures and blooming parks and gardens get locals back outdoors. From mid-May to late June, outdoor festivals and parties are well underway and reach their peak with the annual three-day Donauinselfest – Europe’s largest free open-air party. Although the odd heat-wave may feel uncomfortable during July and August, cool-down, chill-out locations are in abundance along the Danube River and canal, though state-run opera, concert and theatre venues close shop. From September onwards, cultural activities are back in full swing, and mild, sunny days offer ideal conditions for exploring the surrounding countryside.
