Discover the real Budapest
There’s so much more to Budapest than opulent landmarks and cheap bars. The city’s huge cultural offering – think thermal spas, Belle Epoque coffeehouses and Danube river cruises – makes it a mecca for those after a destination where every hour can be spent doing something drastically different from the last…
For those unfamiliar with Hungarian cuisine, a trip around one of Budapest’s food markets proves there’s far more to it than just goulash. Foodies have the chance to sample seriously underrated dishes at restaurants to suit any budget, as well as indulge in exquisite cakes and traditional Jewish treats at coffeehouses and bakeries across the city.
More of the Mexico
Whether you’re island hopping or plumping for the mainland, Greece is a solid summer holiday all-rounder. Yes, you’ll find all the essentials: beaches, coves, caves and those ever-alluring fishing villages, but Greece will also treat you to some seriously impressive archaeological treasures. Menus may have had a tendency towards the ever-present Greek salad and souvlaki, but the gastronomy scene has always been quietly simmering away in tavernas for decades. Finding them is half the fun.
