Car hire Budapest

Dubbed as “The Paris of the East”, Budapest is Hungary's capital that is home to a plethora of charming old structures that boast great historical value. Its main city is divided in two sections, with Pest at the Danube banks' northern part while Buda offering more of the city's history at the Danube's southern part. Cheap car hire in Budapest allows visitors to tour both areas more conveniently.

The key landmark of Budapest is the Hösök tere or the Heroes' Square. It serves as a good base for exploring the city since from there, visitors can already see the Imre Varga Collection (Varga Imre Gyüjtemény) where the pieces from the sculptor can be found.

Budapest is home to renowned figures like Kun, and visitors can enjoy viewing his Hungarian folk art collection in the Zsigmond Kun Folk Art Museum (Lakásmúzeum) where he once lived. Driving over to Buda, visitors can see the walled Castle district where a medieval town stands. Inside are more places to see like the Budapest Historical Museum, the Royal Palace, and the Hungarian National Gallery and Library. There is also the Gothic St. Matthias Church that is already 700 years old.

Budapest is also known for its spas and hot springs, and visitors are welcome to spend a relaxing day in classic Turkish baths like the Rudas Baths and the exclusive Kiraly Baths for women. The FMH Cultural House and Marczibanyi Square Cultural House are good venues to experience Hungarian folk dance and music. For young travellers, a trip to the Children's Railroad (Gyermekvasut) is a good option.

Just outside Budapest are more places to visit with the help of car rental. Cheap car hire in Budapest can take travellers to Palatinus Strand, a well-situated beach in the heart of Margaret Island. Visiting the historical towns like Szentendre also makes a good option for a day trip.
