The energy is all around you
Outside the office, there’s also a lot to enjoy. If there’s one word to describe Budapest, it’s ‘vibe’. This city gets its undoubted energy from the sheer diversity of life. History, culture, nightlife, food, architecture – it’s all here.
Always look up
In Budapest, it’s always good to look up. The architecture testifies to Hungary’s central role in European history: witness the sheer scale of its vast iconic buildings, from the castle to the Parliament to the Gellért Baths. Castle Hill is the crowning feature of the Buda side: a plateau 1.6km long, rising from the Danube bank, it bears the imposing Buda Palace, a web of cobbled streets and the Mátyás Church.
Immerse yourself
The city’s reputation as a capital of food and drink is well-earned, with local food markets galore, and wine regions that are making their mark internationally. You’ll find shade and entertainment in the sprawling parks, home to museums, yoga classes and thermal spas. Budapest knows how to unwind. There are endless festivals to enjoy, sip wine under the dazzling lights of the Castle Hill, or get cultural at one of the historic theatres. Or if you want a change of scenery, it's easy to explore the villages along the Danube bend, or swimming at Lake Balaton. Then, of course, there’s no end of experiences to be had exploring one of the seven countries that border Hungary.
Sample the perfect mix
And Budapest is nothing if not a modern European city. On the Pest side of the river, you’ll find a place thick with exciting cafés and bars, as well as being home to the historic old town and the intimate Jewish district. And everywhere, modern clubs rub up alongside century old institutions. Budapest is both contemporary and nostalgic, energetic and leisurely, loud and quiet. Which makes for exciting contrasts. And it makes Budapest the ideal place to celebrate life.
