Looking for budget-friendly European city breaks like Budapest

Hi everyone!

Last year I visited Budapest (Hungary) and absolutely loved it.
It’s one of those cities that doesn’t get talked about much in Spain compared to places like France, Italy or Germany, but when I went I was genuinely blown away.

Now I’m looking for another affordable city break from Spain.

Some people have recommended Bruges in Belgium, or doing Prague + Vienna, and even returning to Hungary, but I’m still not sure.

I’m basically looking for:

• A European city that feels “wow” like Budapest
• Affordable (flights + accommodation + food)
• Good for a 3–5 day trip
• Maybe a bit underrated / not the obvious tourist pick

Any recommendations?

Thanks!
