Still have no idea where to go for this fall vacation? Are you tempted by a longer trip, one that doesn't involve flying and can be set off by car? Check out four extremely interesting ideas for discovering neighboring capitals and nearby attractions that even the youngest will be delighted with.
Budapest
The Hungarian capital, which is famous as one of the largest cities within the European Union, is distinguished by its rich history, cultural heritage and art. And it is precisely the latter in recent years that has become the driving force, especially of young creatives, who create new, unique urban corners.
A suitable starting point is historic Buda with exceptional vantage points at Castle (Várhegy) and Gerhard's Hill (Gellérthegy). The latter rises between the Elizabeth Bridge (Erzsébet híd) and the Freedom Bridge (Szabadság híd), and on top of it is the Citadel, a century and a half old stone fortress.
The Freedom Island in the middle of Budapest is calling for attention, because this August the high-profile Sziget festival will once again take place there, where world music names will line up for seven days, including Robbie Williams, Avicii, Limp Bizkit, Hollywood Undead, The Gaslight Anthem, Florence + The Machine and Alt-J.
It's still winter outside, but we're already thinking about one of the best summer festivals in Europe. Of course, it is the Sziget 2016 festival, which will take place again on the island in the heart of the Hungarian capital between August 10 and 17. This year, on the Island of Freedom, we will be able to witness world music names, including Bastille, Bloc Party, John Newman, M83 and Naughty Boy.
Kylie Minogue, Australian pop singer, songwriter, fashion designer and film and television actress, is coming to Budapest in October as part of the Kiss Me Once European tour.
Now is the best time to visit the most beautiful Christmas destinations and fairs. Therefore, if you dream of dream Christmas destinations, then the European Best Destinations selection, where they have chosen the best Christmas fairs in Europe 2018, can certainly help you in your choice. This year, the Croatian capital Zagreb is also in first place.
These are the best festivals in Europe 2023 worth getting on the plane for.
Every once in a while, we all need that right vacation where our mind and body will thank us. In order to escape from everyday life and obligations, at least for a short time, decide to visit wellness and spas that will provide you with the peace and regeneration you need.
Winter has something fairy-tale in it. Something that simply cannot be experienced during the rest of the year.
Since September 11, 2001, the scenes of planes flying low over the city have not been the most pleasant, but that did not stop the WizzAir Airbus A-321 passenger plane from flying extremely low in Budapest, almost between buildings. Fortunately, the plane had no technical problems and did not have to land on the river that divides the city, but the flight was part of the attractive event The Nagy Futam 2016 organized by Red Bull.
They are like a white crow. They are rare, but they testify to how humans and animals are different. Animals kill out of need, people out of greed, so videos like this knock on our conscience and remind us of the humanity that animals sometimes possess more than we do. Just look at this bear in the Budapest zoo, filmed by a Slovenian family, how it saves a drowning crow, which is surprised that it took all its feathers away.
