Budapest, sitting astride the river Danube, became a city in 1873 when the twin towns of Buda and Pest joined together. Overlooking Budapest, from Castle Hill, at the magnificent buildings and sweeping bridges, it is no wonder that it is known as the “Pearl of the Danube”.

With its Turkish Baths, eclectic architecture and grand coffee houses, Budapest has attractions the whole year round.  As the summer recedes and the autumn arrives, the cultural season starts again, with the re-awakening of the Opera House, the Franz Liszt Music Academy and the National Theatre.

CONCERTS, EXCURSIONS AND ACCOMMODATION

Concert venues are organised by our very experienced representative in Budapest and include, amongst others Saint Matthias and St. Stephen’s Church.

Whilst in the city, visit the Spanish Riding School, take a guided tour of Heroes Square and Fisherman’s Bastion, or view the Buda Palace. If the mood takes you, head out of town on an excursion to the region of the Danube Bend and the historic attractions of Szentendre, Visegrad or Esztergom. 

Accommodation will be in 3* hotels with twin-bedded rooms for adults and multi-bedded rooms for students, all having en suite facilities.
