Find Budapest Holiday Rentals

Explore culture, history and riverside beauty in Budapest, the Pearl of the Danube

It’s been dubbed the Paris of the East, which says something about what a cultural bastion Budapest is. If your idea of a perfect city break involves exploring traditional restaurants serving up classic local fare, taking in views of immense rivers, and wandering between stately museums where treasures from European history are showcased, then Budapest will tick all the boxes. Foodies will relish classic Hungarian dishes like chicken paprikash and goulash, while the waters of the Danube and the hilly landscape of Buda provide the ideal places to wander, take snaps or picnic in the sun. With the photo-worthy Széchenyi Chain Bridge connecting the Buda and Pest sides of the city, Budapest holiday rentals will allow you to easily explore both halves of a singular holiday hotspot.

Why book Budapest holiday rentals with ebookers?

Staying in a hotel is one way to see the city, but how about considering holiday apartments in Budapest instead? There are many benefits to having your very own pad, from the privacy that comes with a home away from home, to the extra space you’ll get to play with. Why limit yourself to a guestroom when you can have a whole apartment just moments away from the Danube? Having your own kitchen will also mean you can cook breakfast, lunch or dinner, instead of splurging too much on restaurants, while it’ll feel like a real luxury to have a spacious pad to return to whenever you need a rest from all the sightseeing.

Top things to do in Budapest

When drawing up an exciting itinerary of things to do near holiday rentals in Budapest, one particular attraction should be near the top. That’s Buda Castle, a vast site that goes back centuries, and includes a maze of medieval structures. Not only will you enjoy walking between the landmarks, but you can admire the Renaissance masterpieces inside the Hungarian National Gallery. History lovers will also want to make a pilgrimage to the nearby Matthias Church, with its florid gothic steeple, which was the site of the coronation of the last Habsburg king. Afterwards, why not rejuvenate in the outdoor pools of the baroque-style Szechenyi Baths? It’s enough to make anyone feel like a languid, European aristocrat. Then, when the sun sets, urban adventurers can seek out the city’s famous ruin pubs – hip nightspots set within reclaimed buildings, often decked out with vintage decor and suffused with an edgy, bohemian atmosphere.

Getting around in Budapest

It’s easy to get around in Budapest. Walking is the most reward way to take in the city, of course, while there’s also an efficient underground metro which is among the oldest in the world. One of its lines, M1, has been running since as far back as 1896. There are also plenty of buses and tram lines to make use of, as well. If you’re here for a longer period and fancy day trips beyond Budapest, hiring a car will allow you to embark on pleasurable jaunts to nearby communities like Vac, which has historic charms of its own.
