But with a sightseeing tour, you experience and see only the surface. You can feel the spirit of the Hungarian capital as you sit down at a table in a cosy restaurant, taste the goulash and sip a glass of Tokay wine. And don’t overlook the famous spas for which Budapest is famous throughout Europe. Budabest is a must see and experience. Budabest is an excellent destination for a weekend break.

The Danish capital is home to ancient castles and historical monuments, but you can also spend a day exploring modern architecture. Copenhagen has areas with a different atmosphere. Nyhavn has a historic spirit, while freedom and fun prevail in Christiania and Norrebro is alive with an active and determined student population.

On weekend breaks, Copenhagen has many almost unmissable places to visit. The city’s famous buildings demand a visit, such as Amalienborg Palace. This is the residence of the Danish royal family and one of the most beautiful buildings in Denmark. The rococo style palace complex forms a square with its facades. The palace is guarded by royal guards. Every day at noon, an honorary guard leaves the barracks for Amalienborg to change guard. The march takes place to marching music and always attracts a crowd of spectators.

Christiansborg Palace is another magnificent building to visit. This is the political centre of the state: the Danish Parliament, Supreme Court and royal receptions are all housed in this building. Some of the rooms are open to visitors: the hall where the royals receive the heads of state of other countries, the ruins of the medieval castle that used to stand on this site, the palace chapel where members of the royal family are crowned and baptised, the theatre, the stables, the library and the rooms where the parliamentarians sit.

Copenhagen has more than six dozen museums on different subjects. The National Museum is the largest cultural and historical museum in Denmark. It covers a huge layer of the country’s history and culture, dating back to the Stone Age. Nearby is the Glyptotek Gallery, which has amassed amazing collections of paintings and sculptures from around the world. You can also visit the Post and Television Museum, the Guinness World Records Museum, the Naval Museum, the Viking Ship Museum, the Museum of Jokes and Pranks “Believe it or Not”, the Experimentarium, etc.

The city also has many beautiful temples and churches, large and charming parks, delightful harbours, idyllic streets where you can ride your bike or just walk along. You will be delighted and surprised by the charm of the city.

The first thing that comes to many people’s minds about Copenhagen is the Little Mermaid, one of the city’s most beautiful symbols. The bronze Little Mermaid sits on a rock in the harbour, on Langelin Pier – silent and still, but so beloved around the world.

There is no doubt that Budapest is interesting for its cultural and historical values. But life in the city is also in full swing in the evening and at night! Nightlife is exciting and surprising. In Budapest you will find trendy and classy nightclubs and discos for students and pubs for those who want to spend the evening with friends and good old hits. You’ll also find cosy little jazz bars.

There are plenty of clubs in the city to choose from. Many of the city’s clubs are open all night and attract a huge number of visitors. In addition to dance parties, they also host themed parties.

The authorities did the smart thing and designated one particular area for the busy nightlife, giving peace and quiet to others. Most of the youth clubs, pubs and hostels are concentrated in the 7th district, Erzsébetváros, especially in the Jewish Quarter and the adjacent Elizabeth Square. In the Jewish Quarter, the night runs from Friday to Monday. Hungarian bar surfing – visit as many bars as you can in one night. Staying at the same bar for more than 1.5 hours is considered a sign of bad taste. Fortunately, this is made easier by the fact that most of the pubs are located in the Jewish quarter.

If you want a great setting for a romantic date or just to enjoy your own best company, try the bars and pubs up on the rooftops.
