October might not be the ‘prime-time’ for traveling in Europe but when you’ve encountered the crowds in late May and August – as I have for the past 2 years! – visiting a capital off-season seems like the brightest idea. Plus, if you have an anniversary coming up, a short city break can turn into the perfect romantic escape.

A while ago some friends told me that they found very cheap accommodation in Budapest. And knowing that my plan is to escape there for the wedding anniversary, I started looking. And I found something I want to share with you. Locust Tree Apartments, located close to Keleti train station, have a great offer for mid-October: 1 room apartment (max 2 people) for 3 nights costs € 174 (discounted from € 420 so hurry up). You can find the offer here. Even the luxury apartment (4 people) is cheap: € 264. There are not many rooms available so make sure to start booking.

See you there!
