Budapest is often referred to as the “Paris of the East” due to its stunning architecture and picturesque setting on the banks of the Danube. Whether you’re in town for a romantic weekend getaway or a special anniversary trip, the Hungarian capital is the perfect destination for a couples\u2019 retreat, and our handy itinerary is here to prove it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take A Stroll Along Andr\u00e1ssy Avenue<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Commonly named as the Champs-Elys\u00e9e of Budapest, Andr\u00e1ssy Avenue connects the inner city with Heroes\u2019 Square, and can be separated into three sections: starting from Heroes\u2019 Square, the first portion is characterized by villas and palaces of various architectural styles, from neo baroque to art nouveau and Bauhaus. From Kod\u00e1ly k\u00f6r\u00f6nd to Oktogon, you\u2019ll find ornate turn-of-the-century tenement houses, including the building that gives home to the House of Terror and the Liszt Museum, while the last stretch, leading up to Erzs\u00e9bet Square, is famous for its high-end shops and restaurants. Found only a couple of blocks from the avenue\u2019s majestic Opera House, K\u00e9t Szerecsen Bisztr\u00f3<\/a><\/strong> is one of the downtown\u2019s best brunch venues, and as such it is a perfect pit stop in case you\u2019d get hungry during your excursion.<\/p>\n

Float Above the City in a Hot-Air Balloon<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Experience Budapest in all its splendid sprawl hovering 150 meters above ground: City Park\u2019s newest attraction, BalloonFly<\/strong><\/a> revives an age-old tradition, recalling the Hungarian Millennial Exhibition of 1896, when a large hot-air balloon was tethered to the exact same hill the present-day balloon launches from. Inspired by P\u00e1l Szinyei Merse\u2019s painting, the helium-powered balloon reaches its maximum height in about 5 minutes, revealing the picturesque cityscape gradually as you rise higher and higher. After taking spectacular selfies and stealing kisses over famous Budapest landmarks, stop by Millennium Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> for a divine pick-me-up – you won\u2019t regret it!<\/p>\n

Culture and Candlelight <\/strong><\/h3>\n

A bit of culture never hurts, either: take your other half to an interesting exhibition, such as the one focusing on the works of J\u00e1nos Vaszary. The Hungarian National Gallery\u2019s exhibition, titled Vaszary Rediscovered, presents around 70 works by the artist, 24 of which could have never before seen by the public. The paintings range from Impressionism to Art Deco, making this a truly exciting and memorable display of human creativity. Having explored the painter\u2019s oeuvre, check out the panorama from the dome of the Royal Palace, and spend a romantic dinner with a view at Hal\u00e1szb\u00e1stya Restaurant<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Historic Bath with a View<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Do away with your uncomfortably small bath and instead relax and soak together with your significant other in one of the most opulent historic baths in Budapest! The spa kingdom of Rudas<\/strong> <\/a>is equipped with all the necessary amenities for a full-scale charge-up of your battered down batteries, including massage therapy, various saunas, a range of pools filled with healing waters, imperial splendour, and a breath-taking panoramic view over the city. Look out for the Rudas Bistro\u2019s Valentine’s Day specials, or hit up nearby Asztalka<\/strong><\/a>, a super-cute patisserie offering heavenly cakes and delicious hot chocolate.<\/p>\n

Carouse in Little Jerusalem<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No trip to Budapest is complete without taking a walk through the city\u2019s former Jewish Quarter. Today a part of the Erzs\u00e9betv\u00e1ros district, the neighbourhood still serves as the centre of the city\u2019s conservative Jewish community and gives home to three synagogues, including Europe\u2019s largest. On the other hand, the Jewish Quarter is also an eclectic hub of hedonism, boasting an ever-increasing number of ruin bars and restaurants, such as the world-renowned Szimpla Kert and the Mediterranean-style Mazel Tov. For a bit of time travel and a nice glass of wine, make sure to drop by legendary Caf\u00e9 Zsiv\u00e1g\u00f3<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n
