Although cheap flights to Budapest are popular with adults taking a weekend break, more people are discovering the vast appeal the city has to younger travellers. With ancient palaces, a lively zoo and an amusement park among Budapest’s attractions, the city could be the perfect place for you to take your little ones this summer. 

Children of all ages will be dazzled by the magnificent 700-year old Royal Palace, and will love to make an exciting trip up into one of the seven turrets to see the views across the city. 

Back on street level, head over to the Chain Bridge to count the lion statues together, and then perhaps stop off at one of the city’s puppet theatres to take in a traditional, colourful puppet show.

Amazing Animals

Budapest is also home to Europe’s only permanent Big Top, at which the Budapest Circus put on delightful shows with acrobats, clowns, jugglers and some very talented animals. If your children are animal lovers, make a stop at Budapest Zoo after arriving on cheap flights to Budapest, where there are over 2000 animals in residence including more than 200 monkeys, and the endangered white rhino.

Families visiting on cheap flights to Budapest with Jet2.com should also pay a visit to Vidam Park, a thrilling amusement park with ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds and hair-raising rollercoasters. There’s even an area dedicated to very young visitors, so everyone can make the most of their trip on cheap flights to Budapest.
