How will you spend the extra time?
You could go ice-skating under the stars beside the fairytale castle of Vajdahunyad
or climb up to the turreted Fishermen's Bastion for stunning views of the city.
Or perhaps you'd rather just cosy up in a thermal spa and forget the chills of winter.
Book your stay in one of the 60 hotels now.

Budapest's Italian-Renaissance Opera House is the splendidly opulent setting for this good old-fashioned ball. Those who have managed to get a ticket can expect to be well entertained, not only by the resident Opera House ensemble but by the audience, elegantly dressed and friendly. The gala concert features soloists, ballet dancers and the orchestra of the National State Opera. Hungarian food and drink are served and the event closes with music and dance, in a party atmosphere that later spills onto the street. Near the banks of the Danube on the Pest side of the city, the Opera House opened in 1884 and boasts one of the most elegant interiors in Europe.
