Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful European capitals with plenty of things to see: a real jewel!
Crossed by the Danube, it is divided into two parts: Buda, the oldest part where the castle is located, and Pest, the more modern and frenetic city. These two parts were unified into a single city only in 1873, thanks to the many bridges that were then built.
This guide is suitable both for those arriving for the first time and who don't want to miss anything, and for those returning to the city to discover something new. If you are planning a trip to Budapest continue reading..

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.

This map is not organized by destination; it spans Europe from my solo backpacking trip in the summer of 2023. I have carefully selected my favorite hostels from that trip, based on cleanliness, location, comfort, social aspects, price, and shared spaces. For reference, I visited over 30 cities on this trip, so the top 7 are pretty elite.

Headed to Budapest? Make your trip extra charming and *purposefully* Wes Anderson with a stay at one of the city's superb hotels. With this list of 4 and 5-star hotels, you'll find yourself feeling like you've dropped into the Grand Budapest Hotel.
You won't go wrong with any of these gorgeous spots! Compared to 4 & 5-star hotels in other cities in Europe, the hotels on this list can be quite affordable and even come with better amenities - like lush spas & baths complimentary for hotel guests.
I fall head over heels for historic hotels, so if that's also your vibe definitely book one of these beauties!
If you've already got your accommodations sorted, don't sweat it. You can still book glorious day pass at the Corinthia Spa or grab a Bourdain-recommended bite at New York Cafe at the Anantara.
As always, let me know if you have any questions - Happy Hoteling!

Hungarian cuisine is said to be one of the spiciest in Europe, perhaps because we use a lot of paprika, black pepper and other spices. Majority of the dishes are based on meat, carbs and seasonal vegetables & fruits.
The list of dishes to try can be rather long, especially if the recommendation comes from a Hungarian. 🙂
Below you will find a highlight and a culinary map, which will hopefully help you decide where to eat in Budapest.
