Straddling River Danube, the beautiful city of Budapest is both the economic and cultural capital of Hungary. The entire city has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its numerous buildings and monuments of both historical and cultural significance. Visit marvelous structures such as Buda Castle, Hungarian Parliament Building, and St. Stephen’s Basilica, and do keep time aside to check out the famous thermal baths. The tourist-friendly city can easily be explored on foot, or via the vast public transport system. No matter where you are in Budapest, from the cobbled streets to the 100-year-old apartment buildings, you are surrounded by rich history and culture.
The city needs to be walked and explored thoroughly to experience all its wonders, and a couple of days’ stay will just not be enough. So, stay for at least a week to explore the historic city from one of these best short-term rentals in Budapest, Hungary.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, decor, availability of dates, and short-term stay rules and regulations. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 13, 2024.
