BUDAPEST
From our boutique SLOW TRAVEL collection
We invite you
to join our SLOW TRAVEL tour of Budapest.
Here at Avalon, we believe strongly in taking our time.
Making time to Relax and Rejuvenate
Get ready to be captivated by the regal, ancient mystique of Budapest. Known as Queen of the Danube, this European metropolis has jaw-dropping beauty around every corner. We’ll see the best the city has to offer and have plenty of time to explore the hidden gems.
A walk through the Castle District will have you thinking you’re in a fairytale. We’ll spend a leisurely day in the world-famous thermal baths in the City of Spas. There will be plenty of time to sit at cafes and read while you soak in the city, and then head out on the town with your new travel buddies.
Budapest will be our cozy home base for the week. We have plenty of delightful things to do together with enough time to explore and recharge on your own.
This is the balance we find best accommodates introverts who want to see the world.
Join us for the trip of a lifetime in the most magical little wonderland in Europe
