Budapest is certainly not the first city that springs to mind when you think St. Valentine's, short break and romantic. However there are several reasons why this state of affairs should be analyzed. For one Hungary turned out to be the cheapest destination according to the Post Office's 2009 Holiday Costs Barometer. We are not saying that you should skimp on what should be a special weekend, but at the same time, times are not especially rosy and one has to be realistic. Another reason to consider the city is Lánchíd 19's special offer of the 264? two night St. Valentine's package. The hotel was the first Hungarian property to be included in the Design Hotels inventory. For less than £250 you can enjoy: a couple of nights' accommodation including breakfast, love potion on arrival, a naughty box (everything you need for a fun night, if you get what we mean), an aphrodisiac dinner at the hotel's restaurant with champagne and a late check out. What's more, for only 25? extra you can upgrade to a deluxe room. For something extra special, enjoy a Panorama suite with views of the Danube for 200? extra.
The offer is valid between 12th and 15th February and you can find flights with easyvoyage from London to Budapest from as little as £158. Another 50 hotels in the Hungarian capital are offering three for two or four for three nights until the end of March. You can visit www.budapestwinter.com from more information.
