Margaret Island – Romantic walkways, medieval ruins, landscaped gardens, water park, musical fountains, and open-air theater, if these attractions spark your interest, then Margaret Island is your piece of heaven. Guarded by the majestic Danube River, the peaceful hideaway is located just a few minutes from the heart of Budapest and it is popular among locals and tourists alike, especially during weekend and holidays. Margaret Island gets extra lively during summer and spring as people flocks to Palatinus Baths to enjoy outdoor pools, some with medicinal benefits, amidst beautiful garden setting.

Budapest’s Busiest Avenue – Andrassy ut stretches 2.4 kilometres from the city center to the City Park. Andrassy ut is easily Budapest’s busiest avenue with eclectic Neo-Renaissance palaces and houses of aristocrats, bankers, and noble families built by the most distinguished architects of the time. The avenue is the best spot for a stroll alongside the beautiful turn-of-the-century buildings which are now turned into restaurants, cafes and upscale boutiques, including Louis Vuitton, Ermenegildo Zegna, Burberry and Gucci. It is also home to impressive cultural buildings like the State Opera and the Academy of Music, the Ferenc Hopp Museum of East Asian Art, and the Zoltan Kodaly Memorial Museum.
