There are three other short periods of "peak" that affect mainly Budapest: the grand prix of F 1 in the suburbs of Budapest (in July or August) - prices double - the Sziget festival in August (in Budapest) and finally Christmas and especially the New Year. Some establishments in Budapest perform mid-season prices just before the start of the high season. From 31 October to 31 March, several hotels offer the 4 th night free (Budapest winter invitation).
