Book Hotels in Budapest

Out and About in Budapest

The fastest way to see the sights in Budapest is by taking a river ride. Don't miss the Parliament building, which is the largest building in Europe. Swing by the Buda Castle to walk through both the National Gallery and the Savoyai Terrace. You can also get the best view of the entire city from the castle.

Most Budapest hotels are close to one of the city's famous thermal baths. These baths are drawn from deep beneath the earth's surface, so expect higher-than-normal temperatures. On the Buda side, there's the Gellért Thermal Baths on the base of Gellért Hill, and on the Pest side, there's the Széchenyi Spa Baths. With many cheap hotels in Budapest from which to choose, you can be sure that you'll be able to see all these incredible sights and more.

Eating and Drinking

Vacations to Budapest wouldn't be complete without tasting popular dishes like gulyás (goulash soup) and Gundel pancake (crepe). For authentic Hungarian fare, dine in the restaurants along Great Ringroad. If you prefer bars, there are a few along the Danube (Pest side) that not only offer drinks along with food, but also a sweeping view of the buildings over on the Buda side.

If you're ready to embark on a picturesque vacation, Travelocity can help you book Budapest flights and even offers a price guarantee. Travelocity will match a lower price and refund the difference, so you can splurge more on things that matter.
