Budapest among top 10 European cities for science lovers!
Global e-commerce platform Ubuy has created a new report ranking Europe’s top 20 capital cities to find out where families can enjoy the ultimate science-themed day out.
The best cities in Europe for a science trip
For a family day out, a trip to the science museum could tick all the boxes – fun, educational, and often affordable, or even free. But where can parents and children enjoy the ultimate science-themed day out?
The team at the e-commerce platform Ubuy wanted to find out, so they created a ranking of the top 20 capital cities in Europe using several metrics: the number of science museums, the number of museums total, and the number of museums that offer free entry.
Speaking on the report, Faizan Khan at Ubuy said:
“It’s great to see just how many science museums there are across Europe! We loved researching them and learning about some fascinatingly niche and unusual museums. Just a couple that stood out to us were the Museum of Ancient Greek Technology in Athens and Amsterdam’s Micropia, which is dedicated to microbes. The top city according to our ranking is London, but any of the locations on our list have plenty of museums to keep families entertained.”
Budapest in 8th place
Ubuy wrote the following about Budapest:
“Our next science city is Budapest. It has 8 science museums, and 180 museums total. 8 of them offer free entry. The Hungarian capital has a total of 196 points.
While the name of this museum sounds more fantasy than sci-fi, The Palace of Wonders is dedicated to science and technology. In the museum’s Richter Gedeon Laboratory area, children can don white coats and try safe, easy and fun chemistry experiments (as well as pose for snaps with their colourful creations). The Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest is another option, with exhibitions ranging from palaeontology to gemstones, and even its own escape room.”
Total points: 196
