Between the months of March through May and September through November Budapest’s weather is idyllic and the tourists are less in numbers. If you must go during the peak summer months it will be hotter and there will be a scarcity of rooms due to the sheer numbers of visitors to the city who come to enjoy all that the city has on offer. The winter months, although colder and snowy, are as enjoyable and the city takes on an entirely different look draped in snow and glistening in the sunlight. For some it’s the perfect time to view un-crowded landmarks, enjoy the thermal baths at the Gellért, and dine on Hungary’s famous Goulash, sausages, cheese and robust wine.

A city that is also known for its nightlife, this is the perfect season to be inside drinking the local wine, enjoying the robust cuisine, and for those who wish to partake of the nightlife, Budapest’s cluns, discos, cafes, and casinos await.   

The Thermal Baths of Budapest

For those who wish to revel in the splendor of the Rudas Spa, an iconic example of 16th-century Ottoman architecture, the rejuvenate waters await you.
