HUNGARY BUDAPEST

Take a journey back in time by exploring the

enchanting spa and historical towns of western

Hungary. Bask in the sun at Lake Balaton – the

country’s very own ‘Riviera’ – which inspired

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Ride horseback

with the herdsmen on the prairies of the Great

Plain, and immerse yourself in the exciting, vibrant

attractions of Budapest.

Located at the heart of Europe, Hungary has long

been renowned for its hospitality. The country offers

a blend of its own colourful traditions and cultural

influences drawn from all over Europe.

Visit the land of Baroque palaces and cobbled

streets. Sample its outstanding cuisine; browse

wonderful works of folk art by master craftsmen;

and don’t miss the chance to taste some great wine

served by friendly and vivacious hosts. A visit to

Hungary is an experience never to be forgotten!

WELCOME TO HUNGARY

WELCOME TO BUDAPEST

One of the world’s great capitals – a magnificent

city on the Danube that combines past-century

charm with modern comfort and vitality.

Stroll the atmospheric Castle District, visit the

Roman amphitheatre, and admire other

breathtaking landmarks including Europe’s

largest Parliament building.

Take advantage of some of Budapest’s 100

thermal springs – more than any other capital city.

Lie back and luxuriate in an original 16th-century

Turkish spa or enjoy a warming dip in the

Széchenyi, Gellért or Lukács baths.

After a busy day, relax in a classic coffee shop or

a lively bar.

GETTING TO BUDAPEST

By air: Budapest

(Ferihegy) International

Airport / BUD is 16

kilometres south-east of

downtown Budapest, and

26 km from Danubius Hotel

Helia. The Airport minibus is

a popular and reasonably

priced means of transport

between the airport and

the city.

By car: Of the five

motorways and four main

roads in Hungary, eight start

from Budapest. Drivers

must buy a motorway

sticker for the motorways

M1, M3, M5, M6 and M7

(available at border crossing

points and petrol stations).

By rail: Budapest

has three main inter -

national railway stations:

Eastern (Keleti), Western

(Nyugati) and Southern

(Déli). More than 50 trains a

day provide direct links

between Budapest and 25

other European capital

cities. Trains to Vienna run

every three hours, seven

times a day.
