Discounts Galore with Budapest Card 2010

Make the most of your trip to the Hungarian capital by making sure you pick up a new 2010 BudapestCard, which is choc-a-block full of money-saving offers to help you get the most out of your stay.

The new card out this month entitles you to:

- up to 20 percent off your bill in more than 25 restaurants, cafes and bars including the legendary Gellert Bar and Restaurant which is part of Budapest's Art Deco sauna and spa

- up to 30 percent off 18 different family friendly days outs and activities including the Hungarian State Circus and the city's spooky labyrinth of caves that you can weave your way around

- Free entry in more than 50 of the city's museums, galleries and historic houses and up to 50 percent in many others.

You could take a terrifying trip back in time to the 1940s and 50s in the House of Terror Museum, dedicated to the victims of Nazi and Communism torture, guaranteed to make you squirm (20 percent off).

For a more calming experience opt for the House of Hungarian Art Nouveau and enjoy gorgeously styled stained glass windows, sculptures and paintings (special deal price).

Or find out how all those raging Tarters and Magyars finally got their act together and set about creating the twin cities of Buda and Pest at the Castle Museum in the Budapest History Museum (20 percent off).

Just three of the awesome places that the card gives you money-saving deals on

- Plus you get up to 30 percent off sightseeing tours, up to 25 percent off special festivals and free travel on buses, trams and metro, so no hassle at the ticket offices and yes - they do check tickets especially if you're a tourist and no - trying to act as if you've recently undergone a lobotomy is not going to get you off a hefty fine.

You don't have to wait until you get there as you can pre-book one on line, meaning the minute your feet touch Hungarian soil you're all sorted to go.
