Budapest, Hungary: Thermal Waters, Danube Views and Hidden Local Gems

What if a waste management company became your travel guide?

Welcome to Budapest – a city of grand architecture, thermal baths, vibrant culture, and unforgettable views along the Danube.

As part of our FCC CEE Travel Guide series, we're inviting you to discover not only the places where we operate, but also the destinations our colleagues proudly call home.

Budapest offers something for every traveller. Stroll through historic streets, admire iconic landmarks, explore world-class exhibitions, take a boat trip on the Danube, hike in the Buda Hills or relax in one of the city's famous thermal spas. Add excellent food, renowned wines, and a rich cultural scene, and it's easy to understand why the Hungarian capital is one of Central Europe's most popular destinations. 

Looking for insider tips?

Our colleague Tünde recommends 21 – Magyar Vendéglő, located in the historic Buda Castle district. For accommodation, she suggests Hotel Rum or BoHo Hotel Budapest. And if you enjoy music and festivals, don't miss Sziget, or a concert at Budapest Park. 

Just outside the capital lies Gyál, home to one of FCC Environment CEE's key facilities in Hungary, FCC Magyarország Kft. So whether you're exploring Budapest's cultural treasures, relaxing in a thermal bath or discovering local hidden gems, remember that behind every great destination are people helping make it a cleaner and more sustainable place.

While you enjoy the city, we continue working behind the scenes to help keep it beautiful.
