For walking tours, conditions are generally most pleasant from April through June and again in September and October. Heat and visitor numbers peak in July and August, when Sziget Festival and St. Stephen’s Day (20 August) also take place. From November through March, visitor numbers fall except during the Advent weeks, so museums, the Parliament tour and extended bath visits are good options.
