34 European Airports That Turn Layovers Into a Mini-Vacation
28. Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD): A Quick Dip into Spa City
Even with a 6-8 hour layover in Budapest, you can experience its unique thermal bath culture. While a full spa day is out, consider a swift taxi (around 30 minutes) to the Gellért Baths or Szechenyi Baths for a quick, rejuvenating dip in their iconic outdoor pools – a quintessential Budapest experience. Alternatively, focus on the Danube: take a walk along its banks for stunning views of the Parliament Building and Buda Castle. A brief visit to the Great Market Hall can also offer a vibrant taste of Hungarian life and local delicacies before you depart.
