Maverick Hostel & Ensuites Budapest

If you're looking for a city escape to live your European Summer dream, you've come to the right place! This is my 100% honest opinion of my 10 favorite European cities to visit in Summer. I see lots and lots of guides out there suggesting Paris (hello, has someone heard of the Olympic Games taking place?), Madrid (if you love 45° weather I guess) or Lisbon (great choice if you want to be 1 or 100 000 tourists). While these are all great destinations year-round, I don't think Summer is the right season to visit them. Personally, I'd go there in Spring or Autumn, not during the high season. Full disclosure, this is a no Greece, no Italy guide. You'll only find cities that I love, and I think are worth going to discover if you're looking for a short city-escape this Summer.

Budapest, the "Pearl of the Danube," enthralls visitors with its captivating blend of grandeur and grit. Buda Castle, perched proudly on the Buda Hills, whispers tales of bygone eras. Across the Danube, Pest pulsates with a youthful energy, its grand boulevards lined with ornate cafes and Art Nouveau buildings. Thermal baths, remnants of Ottoman rule, offer a chance to soak in history and rejuvenate your spirit. Whether you're a history buff, a culture vulture, or a partygoer, Budapest promises an unforgettable city break.
