Hotels in Pest, Hungary
Pest is the flat, eastern side of Budapest along the Danube River, famous for its 19th-century Parliament building, ruin bars in the Jewish Quarter, and thermal baths. Summers are warm with highs around 82 F (28 C), perfect for cruising the Danube or soaking in Széchenyi Baths, while winters are cold at 32 F (0 C) but ideal for exploring covered market halls and ice skating at City Park. You can party in converted ruins like Szimpla Kert, which started in 2002 as a DIY cultural space, or walk the Danube Promenade for views of Buda Castle and the Chain Bridge.
