What should I pack for a holiday in Budapest in August?
As the start of the spring also brings a lot of festivities in the streets of this fascinating capital, I would recommend you choose the most comfortable pair of trainers you have at home to walk around this historical city. I have spent lots of time in the Central Market Hall and walked all the way by the side of Danube during the night wearing a light coat. I would pack gym clothes as well, just in case you want to go for a run by the river in the mornings. It is a unique opportunity.
