Nagytétény Castle: Just half an hour away from the city centre is Nagytétény Castle. This lavish Baroque house was built in the 18th century on the footprint of a 15th-century palace. The castle now houses the Museum of Applied Arts. Highlights include the history of furniture art and the collection of Roman artefacts.

Pecs: Pecs is a picturesque town around 200km south of Budapest. Popular with tourists, this town has a mild climate and is brimming with museums, fine architecture and a medieval marketplace.
