Budapest is one of Europe’s most up-and-coming destinations. It offers grandiose culture on the scale of Paris or London and trendy gay nightlife to rival Berlin, all at a fraction of the price of any of these other cities.
The savings extend to hotels to a certain point, but during peak season the rates are likely to be similar to what you would find throughout Europe. That said, bargains can still be found in the down season and in budget accommodations.
Gay visitors should not have any trouble booking any room in Budapest, and all accommodation will generally be gay-friendly. Hungary is relatively legally progressive in terms of gay rights, with discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation being illegal.
However, socially, the country can be less tolerant at times. Right-wing groups have long clashed with LGBT activists including at Budapest Pride.
Most gay visitors prefer to stay in Pest, since it is closer to all the main attractions and to the city’s gay nightlife. Budapest’s name comes from the two cities that formed it: Buda and Pest, on each side of the river.
If you want to experience Budapest as the gritty, cool nightlife hub that it is, you’re better off staying in Pest. That said, there are plenty of upmarket gay-friendly hotels in Pest, including several on our list. The most booked hotels are all around the city center in District V, VI and VII. From here it’s easy with most of the gay bars, clubs, and nightlife being centered around Districts V, VI, and VII in Pest.
Stay in Buda for grand, leafy boulevards surrounded by palaces and grand houses. Cheap and convenient public transport links make it easy for you to get around no matter where you are, and the city is also pleasant and easy to explore on foot.
