Budapest is the capital of Hungary, one of the nicest capitals in Central Europe. The Olympic venue will be at Lake Balaton. If you would like to stay a few days in Budapest after the Olympiad, and look around in the capital, we recommend to book a hotel room as soon as possible. From 7th to 13th August there will be the biggest summer festival (SZIGET) of Hungary. About half million people will participate on this event, so the hotels will be full in this period.
