Tour Overview
Festive Christmas time in the exotic “Pearl of the Danube", Budapest is a city that marvels with its grand architecture, and enchanting mix of European & Asian influences. The sheer scale of Budapest rivals that of Paris and gives you a plethora of options for sightseeing and activities during a weekend visit. From the Dohany Synagogue, the world’s second largest and one of the most beautiful, to its famous, thermal baths, to its wild nightlife scene, this city has something on tap for everybody.
*Trip Style - This is an independent trip ideal for groups of friends, family, couples, or even for an independent-minded solo traveler. It is designed as a travel & destination package, not solely as a "group trip". You will be on group tours/activities with other travelers and in a room with other travelers if you book the "shared dorm hostel" package (if you book the "private" room package then you of course will be in your own private room). You will however, have independent time between the guided group tours/activities to explore on your own and do as you please, and will receive a detailed info packet by email with numerous recommendations for additional group activities or tours (beyond what is included), sights/museums and food/drink/nightlife info, etc. It's a great balance between guided & included tours/activities and free time so that you have plenty of time on your own to do what you want.

It is possible to upgrade, for a fee, to a single private room. However, if traveling solo, there is no extra charge and you will be placed in a room with other travelers

I'm travelling solo, will there be other people on the trip?
Typically our trips vary in size from small groups (a few solo travelers and a group or two of friends or couples) of around 5-7 people up to around 30 people or so. However, trips also do operate operate even if there is just one solo traveler. The beauty of a Euroadventures trip is that it's about the experience and the destination and through our long time relationships with our partner companies (tours, activities, etc.) you'll always experince the trip and have the opportunity to meet others, and that's both on the tours & activities but also iat your accommodations (if you select the hostel dorm option as you'll be in a great social hostel atmosphere and have the chnace to meet other travelers from around the world).
