Many visitors to Budapest come to see her beau-
tiful architecture, the romantic Castle District (Vár-
negyed), and the baths and spas that pamper the
senses. Others come to enjoy music festivals, au-
thentic 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 ad-
vertised as a Mecca for adrenaline junkies.

Beyond travel brochures that focus on the
city’s stunning Fisherman’s Bastion (Halász-
bástya), 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, Bu-
dapest’s Aquaworld offers the ultimate fam-
ily 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 Eu-
rope’s most romantic inland cities.
