Where to Stay in Budapest

With the magnificent River Danube cutting through the city, Hungary’s capital Budapest is a fairytale capital of beautiful architecture, bustling restaurants, stylish museums, and, of course, dramatic castles.

Visitors are encouraged to wallow in the beauty of both Buda and Pest, soak up the history of the Castle District and enjoy the panoramas from spots like the Fishermen’s Bastion. While city tours can be arranged through local companies, Budapest enjoys an extensive and fairly efficient public transport system with buses, trams, metro trains and trolleys readily available at prices lower than most similar European capitals. Also, there are plenty of car rental options if you want to explore the surrounding countryside.

Budapest City Center Hotels

Also known as Belváros, downtown Budapest is the focus of the city’s business, cultural and historic spots, while the pedestrian area of Fő Utca – the new main street, which features an abundance of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants – cuts through the area. The area within the circle of the Grand Boulevard can also be explored on foot.
