Budapest Hungary programme guide

Spring has finally arrived, and the good weather offers many opportunities for weekend outdoor activities in Budapest.

Discover Margaret Island

Margaret Island is a popular hangout among both locals and tourists who want to experience a touch of nature in the heart of Budapest. It is not only an ideal spot for relaxation but also a place for fun and adventure. Take a walk or a ride on a regular bicycle or a family-size pedal carriage and discover the beautiful island.

Buda Castle

Although it is worth visiting the Buda Castle any season, in spring, the scenery from the castle is even more stunning. The nice weather allows tourists to stroll around the cobblestone streets and discover the Matthias Church, the newly built Royal Stables and Riding Hall and the cozy neighbourhood of the castle. In addition, on 15 March, various fun performances, exhibitions, music, dance and literature festivals, historical walks, free family programmes, a weapons show and mounted hussars fill the venues of the renewed Budavári Palace Quarter on the Hungarian national holiday.

Why use public transport when you can explore Budapest from the Danube? Hop on a boat and admire the city’s architectural treasures from the boat. Moreover, some boats even offer a dinner menu or cocktails while you are on the cruise. For example, you can choose the 1-hour sightseeing cruise with a welcome drink. During this tour, you can see famous sights such as the Margaret Bridge, Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle, Vigadó Concert Hall and Gellért Hill.
