One of the most beautiful cities in Europe is Budapest, whether you visit it in winter or summer... We suggest you organize it from the end of November to the beginning of January when the city is decorated and the Christmas markets flood the streets.
You will find enough cheap plane tickets almost all year round and you will need 3-4 days to get around and experience the pulse of the city.
For your transfer from the airport, you can take the Airport bus at a cost of 2.5 euros, a shuttle bus (10.5 euros) or a taxi (28 euros) to take you to the city center.
We recommend that your stay be on the side of Pest, where most attractions, Christmas markets and night entertainment are located.
What's worth seeing:
Buda Castle & Castle Hill (Buda side)
Hungarian Parliament Building & Crown Jewels (Pest side)
St. Stephen's Basilica (Pest side & Christmas market)
Fisherman's Bastion (Buda side)
The Danube Promenade (Pest side)
