THINGS TO CHECK OUT IN... BUDAPEST, HUNGARY
The Hungarian capital of Budapest is home to the ever popular Rock festival, Sziget, which
attracts hundreds of thousands of festival-goers every August. As the festival grows in popularity among young Brits, we at The Guestlist Network have compiled a list of the top 5 attractions to visit during your stay in Budapest.
1 - MEDICINAL THER- MAL BATHS AND HOT SPRINGS During the 16th and 17th centuries, bath culture was developed throughout Hungary during Turkish occupation and some of these spas are still in use today, The Kiraly, The Szechenyi and The Racz among the finest. A day tour to The Szechenyi entitles you to access to all the baths and has thus far avoided the heaving throngs of tourists. The build- ings are all considered great works of architecture, so even if you don’t fancy getting wet they are worth a visit.

2 - A CRUISE ON THE DANUBE This 1.5 hour boat trip leaves the port three times a day and allows you to enjoy the beautiful panorama of Buda and Pest on the two sides of the river. Each cruise includes a four course buffet meal, aperitif drink, one glass of red or white wine and one soft drink and costs around 35-40 euros with discounts for students.
3 - PALINKA TASTING Palinka is the national spirit made from distilled fruit juices. The spirit tasting can either be enjoyed with chocolate bon bons or Hungarian sausages as both are a delicious accom- paniment to the Palinka. Check out hotspot downtown cafe and patisserie BARbar Cafe on Vaci Street.
4 - A WALK IN THE BUDA- PEST CITY PARK
If you find yourself strapped for cash after the festival, why not enjoy the serene backdrop of the Budapest City Park, where cobbled stones and fresh green grass meet with sycamore trees and make for an ideal escape from the busy streets of the main city.
5 - A HOST OF DIFFERENT CLUBS Cafe Del Rio on the banks of the river Danube is an open air
club offering a good mix of local people and tourists. The venue is divided into two sections; Techno/House and Hip-hop, stays open ‘til sunrise. For a true Trance experience head to Bed on the Northern side of town; open until 5 am and scattered with beds to relax on. And for an adventure, go to Kultiplex, an arts club with cinema, games and live acts, where the emphasis is D&B and Dancehall.
