Company Swag & Gifting
Company retreat activities in Budapest promises a blend of relaxation and adventure with river cruises along the Danube and immersive ghetto ruins pub tours. These activities are designed to strengthen team bonds while exploring the city's rich history and vibrant nightlife.
Danube River Cruise
You absolutely can't leave Budapest without seeing it from the river. Hop on a Danube cruise and glide past scenic villages, fairy-tale castles, medieval fortresses, churches, museums, concert halls, and more—not to mention the amazing food, wine, and beer served on board. An audio guide will share fascinating details about Budapest's history, its buildings, and little-known facts along the way. For added grandeur, enjoy the river cruise in the evening. With a cocktail in hand, watch the sunset from the bow of your ship as twinkling lights illuminate the city, creating a magical nightscape.
Ghetto Ruins Pub Tour
The once beautiful Jewish Quarter in Budapest's VII District was turned into a ghetto during World War II. After the deportation of thousands, it was left abandoned and decaying, a somber reminder of the war, and remained neglected throughout the communist-socialist era. In 2002, this area saw a transformation when a group of friends opened Szimpla, unaware they were creating a trend. They defined the ruin bar concept: buying decrepit buildings slated for demolition, filling them with eclectic furniture and decorations, and serving great drinks.
Visit the Thermal Spas
Budapest's baths are a major draw for the hundreds of thousands of travelers who visit the city each year. With numerous natural warm springs beneath the city, Budapest has earned the nickname "City of Spas." For the ultimate relaxation experience, visit the renowned Széchenyi Thermal Bath, the largest medicinal bath in Europe. Supplied by two thermal springs with surface temperatures between 74°C and 77°C, Széchenyi offers a variety of experiences, including hot and cold pools, whirlpools, massaging water jets, saunas, and steam rooms. A visit to Budapest wouldn't be complete without indulging in its famous thermal baths!
