Explore Budapest in October: 5 cosy programs for everyone

If you happen to visit the Hungarian capital in October, this article is for you. The fall weather can be somewhat unpredictable, so we included both outdoor and indoor programs in Budapest for this time of the year.

It’s simple; take a walk!

This is the easiest (and cheapest) way to explore the beauty of Budapest. We are lucky this year because the October weather seems sunny enough for strolling around. Click here for some of the most romantic walks in Budapest.

For example, the steep and narrow street leading to Rózsadomb, which is one of the best hidden treasures of Budapest. At the end of the street, there is the Tomb of Gül Baba: the chapel of the Muslim warrior monk is the northernmost holy place of Islam. But a walk in the Buda Castle District is also popular among tourists and local couples alike. The most popular route is the Fortuna Street-Fisherman’s Bastion-Tárnok Street-Szent György Street, bust the less discovered Tóth Árpád promenade is just as romantic. The promenade is bordered by trees, houses, and the Buda hills.

Visit a teahouse

For those days when the fall weather shows us its gloomier side with mist and rain, there is hardly anything better than snuggling up in a warm room and enjoying a cup of steaming tea in our hands. If you haven’t had proper tea yet, you should visit a professional teahouse, where you can get to know a whole new world. Click here for a list of the best teahouses in Budapest.

Explore the Labyrinth of Buda Castle (Spooky!)

It may sound scary to hunt ghosts and dead souls, but you can learn a lot during this challenge. During the hunt, visitors can find out what King Matthias has to do with Dracula, see the palaces of Matthias and Sigismund of Luxembourg, and some mystic elements of the Turkish conquer are also revealed. Furthermore, photographers and travellers’ extraordinary recordings and reports of the world’s most beautiful caves can be seen at the cave exhibition.
