  • Travel month — Budapest is busiest in early summer and December.
  • Travel style — because daily costs are low, rooms make up most of the difference between styles.
  • Trip length — extra days add relatively little.
  • Group size — sharing a room makes Budapest cheaper still per person.
  • Departure city — flights are estimated separately.
