Planning a trip to Hungary
Pulled from the 2 routes below — so it says what these itineraries actually do, not what a brochure would.

How long you need
3–6 days. The shortest is Budapest in 3 days: Buda Castle, the baths and the ruin bars; the longest is Hungary in 6 days: Budapest and the Danube Bend.
What it costs
≈ AED 500 to ≈ AED 600 per person per day, depending on the route. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.

Best for: Two cities either side of a river, a thermal bath in a palace, and the best value in Europe
Budapest in 3 days: Buda Castle, the baths and the ruin bars
Buda Castle and the Bastion → Parliament and the baths → the Jewish Quarter and the Danube
Buda is the hill and Pest is the flat, and the river between them is the point. The baths that are open at six in the morning, the Parliament tour that must be booked, and the shoes on the embankment.

Best for: City + thermal baths
Hungary in 6 days: Budapest and the Danube Bend
Budapest → Danube Bend
The most dramatic riverfront in Europe, and you can swim in it — well, in its hot springs: Parliament by night cruise, a castle district with free-before-9am turret views, outdoor thermal pools steaming at 38°C, ruin bars in pre-war tenements — plus the artists' village up the Danube, all on low-cost flights from across Europe and the Gulf.
