Europe for Less: Central Europe Flights from $1030 return

Budapest makes a brilliant starting point for a Central European escape, with Buda Castle, the Great Market Hall and Parliament to explore before travelling onwards to Slovakia, Austria and the Czech Republic for another hit of historic cities and café culture.

Flight Details

Why We Like This
Two 23kg bags, meals, entertainment and return flights to Budapest from $1030 make this an easy Europe contender, especially when Brisbane is 56% below average and Melbourne is coming in almost half the usual price.
