Coming to Balaton Sound 2014
Balaton Sound
There are more than 5 festivals during the summers in Hungary and one of the most popular one of course is Balaton Sound. This festival will be held in Zamàrdi, which is a little Hungarian city just next to Lake Balaton.

The Norwegian airline named Norwegian is about to launch a new destination from Budapest. Until now Norwegian has only connected to Budapest to their bases in Scandinavia, but this summer they will launch a direct flight from Budapest to London Gatwick.
This is a big and interesting step for the Norwegian company, making them enter into the Hungarian market, not only competing on travels to Scandinavia, but also fighting for travelers going from Hungary to the UK.
If you are going to the UK, visit Norwegian.com and check if they might have the best prices available for you!
And if you are going to London, check out the London Guide for more information about the English capital.
It is a great question, and there are probably many answers to this question. If you click the link you will find a similar article posted by Budablogger a while back, and our answer will probably reflect his answer as well.
In general it can be said that the hotel in Budapest said to be the most luxurious hotel is the Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal. However, due to its location we are a bit reluctant to giving it the highest score. But, if luxury is the thing, that is your hotel.
We would probably stay in Marriott if we came to Budapest looking for a five star hotel!
If you want more modern, big and beautiful five star hotel with view towards the Danube, just between the Chain Bridge and the Elisabeth bridge, then Marriott is the number one option. The Marriott hotel also has a very good restaurant inside named Peppers!, so combining the luxury, the location and the restaurant on the inside, it might be that we would actually book a room in Marriott if we came to Budapest ourselves and we were looking for a beautiful five star hotel!
