If you’re planning a trip that will allow you to experience the last days of winter, Budapest is the place to be. In fact, the Hungarian capital has so much in store, especially on a visit during the month of February, the month of love. So, what are the activities you could do during your visit?
Starting with the simplest of pleasures on a cold winter day, you can enjoy a colorful hot drink at one of the city’s brilliant cafés. Although a beetroot latté or a golden milk – to name a few – will warm you up, it will certainly brighten your Instagram feed and your mood!
Now that you know what can warm your spirit, you can plan a walk outside in the city. In fact, Budapest offers so many fun experiences – think visiting the Wildlife Park in Budakeszi, climbing up to Elizabeth Lookout or descending deep into Pál-völgyi Cave.
And since winter is nearly over, ice skating one last time this season can also be a nice activity, and Budapest is very generous when it comes to outdoor ice-skating rinks. From the hidden gem that is Csepel Ice Park to the City Park Ice Rink backdropped by the magical Vajdahunyad Castle, this activity is certainly a treat.
If you’re a fan of exhibitions, Lumina Park should also be on your list. This magical light exhibition that lasts until March 4th makes Margaret Island's Palatinus Open-Air Baths a fairytale land, exploring the city’s history in chronological order.
Have you heard about a thermal bath party? Well, Budapest offers this experience as well! Most Saturday nights turn the Széchenyi Baths into a hub for electronic dance music and mind-blowing visual experiences.
The list goes on and on, yet with Valentine’s Day happening in February, your trip should definitely include a river dinner cruise on a catamaran. During this 3-hour experience, you will get the chance to treat your significant other with a picturesque dinner accompanied by live piano music, as you both discover the romantic side of the city.
