Budapest

Budapest, Hungary

Explore thermal spas, “ruin bars” and riverside views in one unforgettable city – with flights Mondays and Fridays from October 26, 2026.

Fly from London Southend Airport to Budapest, Hungary, for a European city break like no other. It’s the perfect destination for those who want to sightsee, kick back, and turn it up after dark – all in one place.

Start your day exploring grand landmarks like Buda Castle, then cross the Chain Bridge for sweeping views of the Danube and the Parliament building rising along the river. Unwind at Széchenyi Baths, surrounded by striking yellow Neo-Baroque architecture, where steaming outdoor pools stay warm all year round.

When the sun starts to set, the city comes alive. Stroll along the river past illuminated bridges and café terraces, with the scent of fresh paprika-packed dishes in the air. Head to the Jewish Quarter after dark for Budapest’s famous ruin bars – abandoned buildings transformed into laid-back bars filled with mismatched furniture, street art and music, with an atmosphere that spills out into the streets.

Budapest is stylish, affordable and full of character. Fly from London Southend Airport for a city break that delivers more at every turn.
