💸 Budapest on a Budget: Summer City Magic for Less 🇭🇺☀️🛶

#summerbudgettrip 📍Budapest, Hungary 🗓️ Visited in July – sunny days, lively nights, and full of affordable fun Budapest is one of Europe’s best budget-friendly cities, and summer is the perfect time to soak it all in. Whether you’re into history, food, or nightlife, it’s all accessible without breaking the bank. For just a few euros, we rode the iconic yellow trams, strolled across the Chain Bridge, and explored the Buda Castle district with stunning city views. A highlight? A sunset Danube river cruise — magical and under €10. We cooled off at the Széchenyi Baths, where open-air pools and steamy spas were both relaxing and affordable. For dinner, street food at Karavan and a bowl of hearty goulash hit the spot. At night, we hit up Szimpla Kert, the original ruin bar — quirky, cheap drinks, and packed with atmosphere. Budapest truly gives you big experiences on a small budget. ⸻ Budget Tips: 🎫 Get a 24-hour public transport pass 🛳️ Book river cruises on-site for better prices 🥘 Eat local – goulash, lángos, and chimney cake are delicious & cheap 🎟️ Many museums offer student or combo discounts #tripmoments #budapest
