Family-Friendly Fun In The Hungarian Capital Of Budapest
09/12/2007 09:09 a.m.
There are very few truly family-friendly destination cities in Europe that can hold a candle to Budapest, a city that has numerous aspects to appeal to each member of the family from the youngest to the oldest. Your travel agent can certainly assist you in booking your family into a variety of hotels to fit any taste and budget so that everyone can enjoy the best that the capital city of Hungary can provide.
The younger members of the family can have a whale of a time riding the Gyermekvasút Children's Railroad or seeing the performances at the Nagy Cirkusz or even just expending their abundant energy while running around at the Vidám Amusement Park. The teenagers can pull out their roller blades and join in the action at Görzenál or enjoy ice skating at the Jégpálya Pólus Ice Ring Center. While those who are starting to slow down in the family (or are just worn out from all the energetic activities) can take a rejuvenating soak in one of the three magnificent main baths in Budapest, the Rudas, the Gellért or the Király.
Your travel agent will be able to indicate how the entire family can enjoy these marvelous Budapest activities and a whole lot more, such as the variety of fascinating activities available while touring the Csodák Palotája Palace or the amazing interactive features of the Wonders Science Center. Anyone interested in the culture and history of this great nation cannot possibly miss visiting the Buda Palace and Parliament, the National Gallery and the National Museum. For pure relaxation, how about taking in the awesome views of the city and the stunning Hungarian countryside from the János-Hegy Libegö Chairlift?
Music lovers can experience traditional Yiddish Jewish Klezmer music or attend any one of a number of classical music concerts that are held year round. Be sure to refer to the Koncert Kalendárium that is available without cost at the major hotels for current concert venues. However, your travel agent can make arrangements so that you can experience that music in Budapest isn't just all Liszt, Brahms, Strauss, Erkel, Bartok, and Kodaly. Budapest has become one of Europe's leading alternative music capitals, with a staggering selection of modern concert venues, dance and night clubs.
The Wigwam Rock Club is quickly becoming the main bastion of rock music in Central Europe. Weekend concerts by international rock stars usually continue well into the night with partying until dawn. The Rocktogon is another completely wild rock club, this one very close to the center of the city. Amazing world class jazz is on tap at the Cotton Club, Vera Jazz Cafe or the Jazz Garden Club. If you want to dance the night away to a wide variety of house, techno and Euro beats, then the Barokko Club, Alcatraz Club, Club Seven, Szoda Club or the impressive five clubs in one location at The Inside are the places to go. If you're feeling like a little salsa, you can head for the Palacio de la Salsa, or Portside de Cuba and the Trocadero Cafe. Who knew that Hungary was a Latin music hotspot?
A vacation in Budapest will provide fond memories for the whole family. Your travel agent can show you how the whole family can enjoy visiting the surprising and affordable Hungarian capital.
