Tour overview

This 6-day festive holiday is designed for people travelling on their own, with a room of your own at a four-star hotel on Budapest's Andrassy Avenue. A holiday director hosts the group, which numbers between fifteen and twenty-seven. You stay five nights with breakfast and dinner daily, a Christmas lunch and a welcome drink.

On Christmas Eve a guided tour introduces the Pest side of the city, from the Opera House to St Stephen's Basilica and the Parliament.

On Christmas Day you travel to the riverside town of Szentendre, with its colourful houses and churches, for a festive lunch. Boxing Day and the following day leave time for the city's markets, thermal baths and cafes, or optional excursions.
