Essential Hungary Bucket List Items By Us

Our Hungary tours take you to all the iconic sights you can’t miss, from the enchanting turrets of the Fisherman’s Bastion to the gorgeous city of Györ.

See the Fisherman's Bastion in Budapest

Want to feel like a king or queen? You will at Fisherman’s Bastion, the enchanting lookout tower of Buda Castle. The stunning turrets and lavish terrace are like something out of a storybook and a must-see in Hungary. At over one hundred years old, there’s plenty of history plus the views over Budapest are simply spectacular.

Take a Trip Up Gellért Hill

We'll take you to the top of Gellért Hill on your Budapest sightseeing tour, where you can see the incredible Statue of Liberty up close, stroll through the beautiful parklands and marvel at the stunning views. This hill has a lot of history and we'll also discover other highlights like Gellért Hill Cave, which served as a field hospital and church during World War II.

Explore the City of Györ

We’ll take you on a journey across the green hills of Transdanbuia to Györ, a charming city that’s absolutely bursting with beautiful architecture. It’s one of the best, yet little-known, places to see in Hungary, where you can stroll down cobblestone streets lined with 18th-century Baroque houses, and see dozens of grand churches, castles and palaces.

Hungary Tailored By You

Tailor your ultimate Hungary trip your way with our range of Choice Experiences. Choose from adventures like cruising the famous Danube River and exploring the medieval town of Szentendre.

Soak in Szechenyi Baths

After a long day of sightseeing in Budapest, a visit to the Szechenyi Baths is just what the doctor ordered. These soothing pools were built in the early 20th century, with water sourced from two hot thermal springs, and it's said to have healing properties. We spent hours soaking in all the saunas and whirlpools you could dream of!

Visit the Great Market Hall in Budapest

The Great Market Hall is a restored neo-Gothic tunnel where you can pick up the best local food and handicrafts. Explore for the superb architecture and a total sensory overload, or to source some one-of-a-kind souvenirs and sample unfamiliar Hungarian delicacies from seafood to meat, veggies and more. Feeling hungry just thinking about it!

Walk Up to Buda Castle in Budapest

Crowning the city atop Castle Hill, Buda Castle is a spectacular 13th-century palace and one of the city’s most recognisable monuments. It contains the Hungarian National Gallery, the Castle Museum, and the National Széchenyi Library. There’s no better place to get your culture fix. The views from here over the Chain Bridge, the Hungarian Parliament and the rooftops of Pest are phenomenal!

Goulash

No Hungary trip is complete without finishing off a big bowl of steaming goulash. This beloved Hungarian dish is made from a stew of beef and vegetables drenched in a spicy paprika broth and served with potatoes or noodles. This is one dish you’ll definitely want to recreate when you get home!

Somlói Galuska

Somlói Galuska is the most popular cake in Hungary and soon to be your new favourite dessert. It’s more like a trifle, made with pastry cream, walnuts, raisins and three different-flavoured sponge cakes. The classic way to gobble up this treat is by scooping three balls into a bowl and topping it with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Delicious!

Lángos

If you’re looking to try Hungarian street food, look no further than lángos. It’s like a pizza, Hungarian style, made from deep-fried flatbread that’s crispy on the outside and pillow-soft on the inside. Topped with all kinds of flavours like cheese, sour cream, ham and garlic butter, this is one dish that will keep you coming back for more.

When is best to visit Hungary

There's no bad time to visit in Hungary. Whether you want to see the blooming spring or snowy winter, here are some of the best times you'll love to visit this beautiful country.

Best Time to Visit the Thermal Baths

No trip to Budapest is complete with a soak in the Szechenyi Baths and the best time to go is autumn or spring, when there’s fewer crowds and the thermal waters are more refreshing.

Best Time to Visit Hungary’s Cities

We love a Hungary city break all year round, from the shiny warm summers to the magical snowy winters and the milder autumns and springs.

Best Time to Explore Hungary’s Countryside

If you’re dreaming of venturing out through the hilly Transdanubia region of Hungary, the best time to go is spring to see blossoming fields or autumn for golden forests.
