With its Turkish baths, eclectic architecture and grand old coffeehouses, Budapest has enough attractions to entertain visitors all year round. After the summer influx of tourists, locals reclaim their capital in the autumn, when the cultural season starts up again. The city’s great institutions – the Opera House, the Franz Liszt Music Academy and the new National Theatre – all open their doors. Add a lively nightlife scene, rapidly improving gastronomy and excellent high-end hotels, and you have the perfect weekend break.
