Many visitors to Budapest come to see her beautiful architecture, the romantic Castle District (Várnegyed), and the baths and spas that pamper the
senses. Others come to enjoy music festivals, authentic cuisine, and cultural events that enrich the
spirit. Very few, however, come to Budapest in the
quest for active pursuits, because the city is not advertised as a Mecca for adrenaline junkies.
Budapest for
Adrenalin Junkies
Beyond travel brochures that focus on the
city’s stunning Fisherman’s Bastion (Halászbástya), which glitters under the sun with
its fairy tale towers; beyond top 10 must
see attractions that include the scenic views
from the Libegö chairlift, and the playful
Margitsziget; and more than world famous
Szechenyi Baths; you’ll discover a different
Budapest, young, vibrant, and daring.

Surfing in Budapest
Already famous with locals and tourists, Budapest’s Aquaworld offers the ultimate family experience, but it is also a must for thrill
seekers. Strip down to your swimsuit, and
book a lesson at the surf school - yes, you
can learn how to ride the waves in one of Europe’s most romantic inland cities.
