The hostel was very good, clean and very well located. We believed in a hotel. The welcome and the staff were very nice. It's a nice hostel. Too bad there is no breakfast.

Welcome to Budapest

Buda. Pest. Two ancient settlements that joined forces in 1873 to form one of Europe's most enchanting capitals. But don’t take our word for it – modern Budapest welcomes more than four million visitors every year. For backpackers and students on a budget, Budapest a dream: there are cheap hostels and places to stay throughout the city and surrounded by bars and restaurants with cheap offers. You can easily base yourself in a city centre or downtown hostel or student accommodation without putting a serious hole in your pocket. This means you can explore Budapest’s treasures right from your hostel or student accommodation. Wrap your eyes around the extraordinary Gothic Parliament building, the UNESCO-listed Buda Castle and the awe-inspiring art nouveau architecture – then relax in the thermal springs and spas. This is a city that lifts the mind and the spirits - without denting your wallet. 

Climb up Castle Hill

Although some of the exhibitions have entrance fees, you can stroll around Castle Hill and admire the Royal Palace (plus gardens), Vienna Gate, Matthias Church and Fisherman's Bastion for free. With most city centre hostels within a mile, it’s easy to reach on foot.

Royal Palace

With several city centre hostels nearby, the Royal Palace - part of the Buda Castle complex - is a great place to start. It dates from the 13th century and is today home to several museums and galleries, including the Castle Museum and the Hungarian National Gallery.

Castle District

Also called Várnegyed, this the historic centre of Buda that backpackers and tourists come to see. It dates back to the early 1200s, and it’s famed for its Royal Palace, medieval walls, winding streets, impressive churches and views across the Danube.

SzeptEmber Feszt (September)

Held each September, the city's annual gastronomic fest is paradise for the hungry backpacker. It features not only great Hungarian food and cookery demonstrations, but live concerts, art exhibitions, handicrafts, games and activities. All for free.

Sziget Festival (August)

Held on an island in the Danube, this week-long music festival welcomes thousands of revellers each August. An impressive line-up of international acts perform pop, rock, reggae, world music, heavy metal and everything in between. Hostels will fill up quickly, so book ahead.

Leves

Hugely popular with students and backpackers, Leves (Hungarian for 'soup') serves at least five different types of soup each day, from coconut and pumpkin to Catalan chicken to cold raspberry.

Csendes Társ

This small but perfectly-formed bar beside Károlyi Garden has a lovely outdoor area that's perfect for sipping wine (from the extensive bar menu) and watching the world go by.

Central Market

This fantastic daily market within the 10,000-square-metre Great Market Hall has it all: fresh food on the ground floor; souvenirs and gifts on the second; meat and fish markets in the basement. It’s just to the south of the majority of the city centre hostels, and one or two are right on its doorstep.

Enjoy low-cost high culture

Some backpackers avoid opera because they don’t like it; some avoid it because it’s so expensive. Budapest can’t fix the first one, but it can sure fix the second - at the State Opera you can see opera for the price of a coffee. Tickets start at a paltry 500 HUF (£1). www.opera.hu

Airport Budapest Franz Liszt International Airport is served by airlines include Wizz Air, British Airways, Easyjet, Ryanair and Jet2. You can reach the city centre and its hostels by train, bus and shuttle minibus. Rail Backpackers travelling by rail arrive at Budapest's Keleti station, with connection to various Hungarian cities, plus most capitals in Central and Eastern Europe, including Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Bratislava, Warsaw and Belgrade. Bus The national bus service, Volán Association, connects to most places in Hungary, while cities across Western and Eastern Europe can be reached using either Eurolines or Orangeways. Getting around Budapest is a pleasure to walk around, so a city centre hostel will give you easy access to most attractions. But a few big sights are a little way out, and that's where the city’s cheap and reliable transport system comes in handy. Single journeys on the metro, bus or tram systems cost just 350 HUF (80p), while travelcards cost just 1,650 HUF (£3.70) for 24 hours, 4,500 HUF (£10) for 72 hours and 4,950 HUF (£11) for the week.
