Budapest is a unique mix of western and eastern Europe, the combination of which makes for a great urban vacation destination for families. Book a kid-friendly walking tour to give your family some context around the city’s complicated history. A good guide will give you time to admire Budapest’s stunning churches while also pointing out the more austere Communist-era buildings. Relax with a funicular ride up to Buda Castle and don’t miss the chance to take a night river cruise, when you can admire the incredible skyline all lit up. We love luxury properties that are centrally located for easy kid-friendly exploration of one of Europe’s best cities.
