Hey there! Budapest has a lot of attractions such as museums and monuments, and the food, nightlife, spas/baths, and overall city are perfect for a workable trip. Winter is a great time to enjoy the spas and the christmas markets! 🏛️ About the trip: The idea is to cowork but take advantage of after-work hours to explore and enjoy the city. There are many things we can do, and we can plan together as a group. I'll propose a few things, but the idea is to decide as a team and set a plan. Everyone is free to join or not join the activities. The goal for the trip is to work, and enjoy and explore the city after work. We will wander around the Hungarian capital, find hidden gems throughout the city, try some delicious Hungarian food, and, why not, have some fun partying! Important❗While this is a group trip, we understand the importance of having time for yourself. Nobody will be pressured to join any activities, and we will always respect people's decisions. Whether you want to explore the city alone, work from a different location, or simply relax in your own space, it's totally up to you. We want this trip to be an enjoyable and flexible experience for everyone. 🏢 Accommodation: We'll be staying in a comfortable flat, with each of us having our own private room to ensure a relaxing and personal space. 🛠️ Co-Working (optional) You’ll have the option to access a coworking space Monday to Friday for a comfortable work environment. It's optional and can be paid directly to the coworking company—either for the full week (140€ aprox) or on a daily basis. I can help with the booking, but it's best to arrange it in advance to secure your spot. Some people prefer working from a cafe, library, their room, etc...that's why is optional. 👉🏼 Who should join: I am looking for five/six trip Mates who love taking advantage of "workingway" that work aprox from 08:00/10:00am to 18:00/19:00pm CET (aprox.) and want to join this workable experience in Budapest. You should be looking to enjoy the cuisine, spas, and discover of Budapest. You should be a profesional from 28 to 45 years, easy going, looking to meet new people and have a good time! I always speak with whoever wants to join the trips to make sure everything is clear, there is an aligment so the group will work. Consider the following: - You want to meet new people and discover Budapest while working. - You are okay sharing a common space with others and contributing to keeping it clean and tidy by sharing some small tasks (like cleaning dishes...). - You are not expecting a wild party you are happy to be quiet after 00 p.m. (during the week) for people working/neighbors in the morning to rest. - You enjoy a good chat, a good meal, a drink, and all sorts of discoveries. - You are tolerant and respectful, love to laugh, and are open-minded and tolerant.

About me... My name is Marc, and I am a 38-year-old travel addict from Barcelona, Spain. I am an IT consultant 🤓 (Business Analyst), a traveler at heart, and a sea enthusiast. I love discovering new places and meeting new people. I’m happy to create workation trips that bring together like-minded people. With the flexibility of remote work, we can stay productive while exploring new places and sharing unique experiences. Let’s make the most of remote work and enjoy the journey while we travel and connect with new people! I have been to Budapest four times, and it is a city I love. I first visited Budapest in 2019 during my Erasmus with a few friends, and we had a fantastic time! I have repeated since then, and I have always had a great time. Budapest has a lot of attractions such as museums and monuments, and the food, nightlife, spas/baths, and overall city are perfect for a workable trip. Winter is a great time to enjoy the spas and the christmas markets!

Accomodation... We’ll be staying in a spacious, comfortable flat located right in the heart of Budapest. Everyone will have their own private room, so there’s no need to share unless you’re coming with a friend and prefer to room together. The flat has the facilities needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Its central location ensures easy access to everything Budapest has to offer, making it simple to explore the city whenever you have free time. More details about the flat and its amenities will be shared closer to the trip, but rest assured it will be the perfect home base for both work and relaxation!

Welcome to Budapest! We’ll meet in the apartment, settle into the flat and get comfortable. We will introduce each other, and maybe do some ice breaking game. Then will head out for a "welcome dinner" at a local restaurant to enjoy some authentic Hungarian food. This will be a great opportunity to get to know each other and kick off the trip in a relaxed setting. Night: For those who still have some energy after dinner, we can continue the evening with some drinks in a ruin bar. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and dive into Budapest’s vibrant nightlife.

Budapest

Day 2-3
In the morning, we'll have breakfast and we might Géllert Hill, 4-5 hours will be enough to explore the area, enjoy the views, take some pictures and grab some food. We will explore Gellért Hill. It's a fantastic experience to discover one of the most impressive viewpoints in the city of Budapest. The climb is challenging, but it's a beautiful trek, and everything will be worth it when we reach the top. The views are stunning! From here, we will get the most amazing panoramic views of the city, and there are quite a few monuments to visit. It's recommended to do a bus tour as it can be quite a trek to get up here. Free afternoon, we can decide what to do!

Lake Balaton

Day 3-4
We can say that Hungary has an inland sea, Lake Balaton. It is located 100 kilometers west of Budapest and is the largest freshwater lake in Central Europe. It is 80 kilometers long and reaches a width of 14 kilometers. We can take a day trip to visit and explore this lake and some of the towns that surround it. There are different things that can be done, we will agree on how to visit that location and what to do. After a long day we can rest, free afternoon. After a productive day exploring Budapest and getting into the work groove, we’ll wind down in the evening with a relaxed pizza night and maybe we can play some games. We can order some delicious pizzas from Pizza Manufaktura, known for their amazing toppings and crispy crusts. It’ll be the perfect way to kick back, enjoy some good food, and recharge for the week ahead. Let’s keep it easy and cozy, so we can all start the week with full energy!

Gellért Thermal Bath

Day 4-5
We are going to enjoy another fantastic spa, the Gellert is a very exclusive spa with a lot of class. Its interiors are a real wonder. It stands out for its indoor pools in an environment with fantastic decoration. If you choose it, you will have an excellent experience. What stands out the most about this spa is the majestic structure of its interiors with statues, columns, mosaics, and stained glass that are perfectly preserved. This spa has a total of 10 therapeutic pools, an outdoor wave pool that is a hit in the summer months, another with bubbles, and a children's pool. Its main pool is spectacular. It is in a large room with Roman columns. After our relaxing time at the spa, we can head back to the apartment, order some food, and just chill out. Whether it's playing some games, watching a movie, or simply having some drinks and good conversation, it’ll be the perfect way to wind down and enjoy our last moments in Budapest together.
5

Budapest Parliament

Day 5-6
Wrap up work and head out for a scenic walk along the Danube Promenade. Enjoy the views of the Buda Castle, Chain Bridge, and Parliament Building as the city lights up in the evening. We could have dinner at a traditional Hungarian restaurant to savor local delicacies like goulash and chimney cake—perfect for getting a real taste of Budapest. Optional: After dinner, we could grab a drink at one of Budapest's famous ruin bars, like Szimpla Kert or any other cool spot that catches our eye.
6

Christmas market Budapest

Day 6-7
After wrapping up work, we'll head out to explore the magical Budapest Christmas Market. We'll soak in the festive atmosphere, sip on some hot mulled wine, and enjoy a few drinks as we wander through the beautifully lit stalls, taking in the sights, sounds, and scents of the holiday season. After that we can have some drinks and have dinner at home (take away) or go to some restaurant (to be decided and agreed among the group).
7

Ruin Bars Budapest

Day 7-8
We will do our own "pub crawl" to discover and explore the different Ruin bars of the city. We will visit the most popular ones and also try to find more local ones. The appeal of these bars lies in their DNA; they're underground, hard to find, unique yet insanely hip. Each of these bars is unique and is more than just a bar, as they have art galleries, restaurants, etc. We will discover them! You just have to know where to find them. There are many to choose from, and we will have many days to explore them. For example, the oldest of them all, Szimpla, has become almost as famous as Heroes' Square or the Castle. Another cool ons is Instant & Fogas, which, after taking over an entire apartment building, has become Budapest's largest ruin bar and Europe's largest party complex, with 7 different floors, 18 bars, and 2 gardens (yeah, it's big!). We can also visit Csendes Létterem Anker't ruin bar. There are many of them, we will review and decide which ones to visit!
8

Danube River

Day 8-9
We will enjoy a cruise on the Danube, we will try to coincide the cruise with the sunset (hopefully friday we can finish work early), to be able to enjoy this and see the city illuminated, which is something spectacular. One of the most popular activities in Budapest is taking a cruise on the Danube. It is one of the most important rivers in Europe and holds the gold medal for the river that crosses the most countries in the world (an impressive 10 countries). Well, actually this medal is shared on equal terms with the Nile, which also passes through 10 countries. In addition to its immensity, the ride on the Danube River in Budapest passes right in front of some of the most emblematic monuments of the city, such as the Budapest Parliament. Friday night we can go have dinner, some drinks and enjoys Budapest nightlife.
9

Fisherman's Bastion

Day 9-10
The Fisherman's Bastion is a lookout located on the Buda Hill, on the west bank of the Danube. From its top, we can contemplate Pest in all its splendor.It is a historic monument built at the turn of the century to commemorate the first thousand years of a united Hungary when plans were made to remodel the Buda Hill. From the Fisherman's Bastion, we get the best views of the Budapest Parliament. If we visit at sunset, besides getting the best photos, by spending some time in the surroundings we can take advantage of seeing Pest illuminated. From the Castle Hill, and particularly from the Fisherman's Bastion, the views will remain in our memory forever. Any time of day has its charm for the visit. If we access the Fisherman's Bastion at nightfall, we will contemplate the illuminated Parliament and Margarita Bridge. If we approach the balustrade of the Bastion in the afternoon, we can see how the sunset reflects on the facades of the opposite bank. And if we are the type who likes to get up early to discover the city before anyone else, contemplating the sunrise of Budapest rising beyond the immense plain of Pest will more than compensate for the early wake-up (that's what I've been told). We will walk 1hour enjoying the view, and we will to visit Margaret Island. In the heart of Budapest, in the middle of the Danube River, Margaret Island rises up. A green oasis in the chaos of the city that hides many corners that we are going to discover. The island can be walked from one end to the other in approximately 45 minutes, and in an hour and a half if you want to go around the island on its circular path. For a "small" area, some of the most interesting places in Budapest can be found here, such as some historic bars and restaurants, but also parks, trails, attractions... In the afternoon, we’ll head back to the apartment to rest up and get ready for our last night in Budapest. We'll enjoy a special farewell dinner together, reminiscing about the great times we’ve had. After dinner, we can head out for some drinks and see where the night takes us, making the most of our final evening in this beautiful city.
10

Széchenyi Thermal Bath

Day 10
Our visit to the Széchenyi Baths will be the grand finale of our Budapest adventure! Before we head home, we'll treat ourselves to some well-deserved relaxation. With 15 thermal pools, saunas, Turkish baths, and more, it’s the perfect way to unwind and recharge. Trust me, after soaking in those warm waters, you’ll head home feeling fresh, renewed, and ready to take on anything! I'm not lying or exaggerating at all if I tell you that surely after being in Budapest, one of the things that you will remember with the most intensity and affection will be the visit to the Széchenyi Baths. Is going to be our last night, so we will have a farewell dinner and maybe we can have our last drinks together!
11

Budapest

Day 10-11
Sunday will be our final day in Budapest, with some of us heading home while others might choose to extend their stay. Depending on departure times, we might share one last breakfast together.
