This is a great place to relax and get "out" of Budapest for an afternoon, although if it is warm, a lot of people will have the same idea. It can be quite a walk from some parts of the city, so check transit map carefully. Make sure you walk to the South end of the island. This is a... more

What a great idea, on a baking hot day in Budapest, what better to do than take off to an island in the middle of the Danube and spend the day at the beach (almost!) We could have spent all day at the baths here on the island, plenty of grass to spread out your towel as you decided when... more
