Thermal baths are one of the most popular attractions that Budapest has in store, and none of them compares to Széchenyi Thermal Bath. If you want to check out the most iconic bath in the Hungarian capital, our brief guide will help you get it done – even if your budget is extremely limited.

Work Days Over Weekends

The entrance fee for Széchenyi Thermal Bath varies from day to day, and it’s best to go there between Monday and Thursday. The tickets are more expensive on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and the pools tend to be more crowded, as well.

Super Early Bird

Széchenyi Thermal Bath offers a special ticket called “Good Morning Budapest”, and it’s a great money saver. If you want to beat the crowds and save some money, buy your tickets at the entrance until 9 a.m., but keep in mind these tickets are not available on the weekends, and they’re more expensive on Fridays.

Bring Everything You Need

From towels and bathrobes to swim caps and slippers, you’ll have to pay extra for every essential you forget to bring along. That’s why it’s extremely important to come prepared because you’ll save a fortune by bringing everything you need instead of spending extra money on these amenities.

Europe is somewhat of a contradictory place when it comes to the adventurous traveler. On one hand, it’s one of the most culturally significant and beautiful continents in the world. On the other hand, some of the biggest hotspots are also among the most expensive places in the world. Luckily, not all European countries will break the bank. So if you’re traveling on a budget, here are three countries in Europe that are on the cheaper side.

Portugal

For many years, Portugal has been lauded by travelers as one of the most economical choices. Compared to its neighbor, Spain, it’s much less expensive, and you’ll still get a wonderful experience. You’ll taste delicious cuisines, observe beautiful sceneries, and enjoy it all on a budget!

Hungary

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is one of the greatest deals you can find when it comes to getting bank for your buck. It’s not as expensive as Switzerland or Sweden, and yet it offers all kinds of amazing things to do, such as thermal baths, historic sites, and amazing nightlife too.

Greece

Finally, Greece is an another amazing budget friendly option—but with a slight caveat. Certain areas in Greece are definitely on a pricier side, but islands such as Rhodes or Crete are amazing options if you’re both trying to save money and have a great travel experience.

Every European capital looks truly dazzling come Christmas time, and Budapest is no different. If you happen to be visiting the Hungarian capital for the holidays this year, you won’t be disappointed as it has several pretty magical, festive places to offer.

St. Stephen’s Basilica

If a visit to a Christmas market happens to be your ultimate bucket list item, the square in front of St. Stephen’s Basilica is the place to be. It’s home to Budapest’s annual Christmas Market, where you can find countless stalls selling everything from mulled wine and festive treats to arts and crafts.

Vajdahunyad Castle

Vajdahunyad Castle completely transforms come wintertime because Budapest’s City Park Ice Rink is located right in front of it. It’s been around for over 150 years, and it’s the best place to go on an ice-skating adventure with your friends and family this holiday season.

Fisherman’s Bastion

Fisherman’s Bastion is one of the top attractions on the city’s Buda side, and it’s one of Budapest’s dreamiest spots. The 19th-century fortress and its turreted lookout terraces look like a winter wonderland come Christmas times and the panoramic views it offers are more magical than ever.

You don’t have to be a huge fan of parks to enjoy your visit to Budapest’s City Park because it happens to be home to some of the city’s top attractions. Several amazing museums are located on its premises, and here are three that you shouldn’t miss while exploring the most popular park that the Hungarian capital has in store.

Museum of Fine Arts

Heroes’ Square serves as the entrance to City Park, but that’s not the only thing that makes it special. Budapest’s Museum of Fine Arts is located right next to it and it features 100,000 artworks, ranging from an extensive Egyptian collection to European art from different periods.

Museum of Transportation

If you want to explore a completely different subject matter after a visit to one of Budapest’s leading art museums, the Museum of Transportation is a place to be. It features an impressive collection of locomotives and railway cars and it’s one of the oldest museums of its kind in all of Europe.

Hall of Art

Located in a 19th-century neoclassical building near Heroes’ Square, the Hall of Art is a heaven on Earth for fans of modern art. The fact it doesn’t have a permanent collection doesn’t make it any less impressive because its temporary contemporary art exhibits are a joy to explore.
