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.

The second exhibition in the series devoted to various methods of printmaking will give an overview of engraving, the oldest intaglio technique of printing, with the aid of nearly two hundred works selected from the Museum of Fine Arts’ rich collection of prints. The earliest engravings in the exhibition were made in the second half of the 15th century by Italian and German masters (Andrea Mantegna, Antonio Pollaiuolo, Martin Schongauer, Israhel van Meckenem). Most of the works to be displayed originate in the 16th century, which was the most prolific era of engraving.
