Just steps away from the Dohany Street Synagogue and the Deak Ferenc Square metro station, Hotel Memories is a historic 4 star property in central Budapest.

Day 2. Budapest

Begin your day in Budapest by using your 24 hour Hop-on/Hop-off bus pass!

Budapest is famous for its thermal baths, so your next stop should be the Széchenyi Baths, one of Europe’s largest spas with 15 pools. You can even play a game of chess while you soak in the steamy pools.

In the evening, head to a romkocsmá (ruin pub) in the Jewish Quarter and enjoy a cheap pint of beer.

See all of Budapest's top attractions from the top of a double-decker bus. For 24 hours you will be able to hop on and off as you please around the city. Be sure to see Buda Castle, Matthias Church, and more! 

They don't call Budapest the "City of Spas" for nothing. Perhaps take the bus to the thermal bath? It doesn't get much more "quintessential Budapest" than that!

Near the baths, you'll come across Heroes' Square (Hosok tere), the largest public square in the city! There, snap a photo of the iconic Millennium Monument. Head to the iconic Hungarian Parliament Building, then gawk at the spectacular Hungarian State Opera House.

Day 3. Budapest - Vienna, Austria

Say goodbye to Budapest as you board a 2.5-hour train to Vienna, once the center of the mighty Habsburg Empire. Upon arrival, check into your accommodation then start exploring.

In the evening, why not start your time in Vienna on a sweet note by visiting one of the city's most famous cafes and indulging in a slice of its famous cake: the Sacher Torte? Cafe Sacher has been whipping up this iconic treat since 1832, and it is still baked using the original recipe.
