Budapest is known for its classic European atmosphere, filled with historic buildings, charming cobbled streets, and plenty of places to enjoy food and drinks around every corner. The Buda side of the city has a more traditional feel, with green hills and several thermal springs to explore. In contrast, Pest is home to an impressive medieval castle and is often seen as the more modern side of Budapest. If you choose to camp in or near Budapest, you'll find yourself experiencing the best of both worlds.
What sets Budapest apart from other big cities are its underground caves and beautiful nature parks. From your campsite, you can join fascinating excursions through these caves or enjoy scenic walks along the slopes of Gellért Hill or in one of the nearby parks.
