Budapest provides an excellent backdrop for a romantic vacation. It’s obvious, given all of its elegant restaurants, cozy little cafés, unique thermal baths and cultural events. But still… can you think of anything more intimate than a walk for two, far from the noise of the city? It’s no coincidence that a lot of couples choose Margaret Island as the venue for their rendezvous. While roaming the paths within this huge park in the middle of the Danube, lovers can listen to each other and the sounds of nature in peace. Whether you’re sitting by the pond in the Japanese Garden, having a picnic at Nagyrét, or marvelling at the panorama of the city from the Water Tower, you will make life-long memories.

You can take long walks following the winding forest trails and, at the Citadel you can easily find the best spot to take a “selfie” with the city in the background. If you would like to share a really special moment, head to the hill at dawn and watch the sun rise above Budapest. Gellért Hill 1118 Gellért-hegy Go to profile Gül Baba’s Tomb used to be a favourite rendezvous venue, and it’s even more beautiful since its renovation. The chapel, built in the 16th century, and the rose garden around are ideal getaways if the two of you would like to spend some time alone, away from tourists. The memorial not only offers a fantastic view, but the terraced garden, belonging to the former Wagner villa, is also a great place for walks. If the spring weather turns chilly, you can warm yourselves up in the teahouse at the exhibition centre. Gül Baba's Tomb 1023 Budapest, Mecset u. 14.

The marvellous old buildings, the view from Fisherman’s Bastion, the little streets and the cozy cafés all contribute to a magnificent experience. If you’ve visited Mathias Church, end your walk with a delicious cake at the Ruszwurm Pastry Shop, established almost 200 years ago. Whatever you choose from their menu, it will surely make your day sweeter.
