Group trip to Budapest: share the costs, pay less

Budget for a group trip to Budapest

For a weekend, expect around €200-330 / person. The biggest line item is still accommodation — and that is exactly where travelling as a group changes everything. An apartment for 6 in the Jewish Quarter comes down to around €25/night/person versus €82 at a hotel — roughly €171 saved each over 3 nights.

What to do in Budapest as a group?

• The Széchenyi baths
• The ruin bars of the Jewish Quarter
• Parliament and the Chain Bridge at night
• A cruise on the Danube

Many of these activities offer group rates: book together to pay less per person.
