There's no doubt that Budapest remains less costly than nearly every other great capital of Europe
A lot of Americans have learned that the large, central European city of Budapest offers many of the pleasures of the more heavily visited European capitals but at a fraction of the cost. Several four-star Budapest hotels charge less than a hundred dollars in winter for a double room. Restaurants in downtown Budapest will serve you pork cutlets with a paprika cream sauce, together with the excellent beer of the country, for less than $30 for two persons. And the Király Baths in Buda bring you an hour-long soak in a 97-degree communal pool for only $4. For a one-week package to Budapest costing as little as $899 from November 1 to December 10 and from January 2 to March 31, call Paul Laifer Tours at tel. 800/346-6314, or log on to www.laifertours.com.
