This winter, Ryanair will fly a total of 50 routes from Budapest, including new additions to Liverpool, England, and Toulouse, France. “The route will be operated twice a week, further expanding the choice for Hungarian passengers,” said Alicja Wójcik-Gołębiowska, Ryanair’s head of Central and Eastern Europe and Baltic countries.

The flight from Budapest to Toulouse departs at 8:45 p.m. on Mondays and 3:50 p.m. on Fridays, and the return flight departs from the French city at 5:50 p.m. on Mondays and 12:55 p.m. on Fridays, for a two-and-a-half hour journey.

Top things to do in Toulouse, also known as the “Pink City” due to its unique architecture made of pinkish terracotta bricks:

Visit the Basilica of Saint-Sernin, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the largest Romanesque churches in Europe.
Taste the flavors of Toulouse’s renowned cuisine. Dishes such as foie gras, cassoulet (a bean and pork stew) and Saucisse de Toulouse (Toulouse sausage) are all an essential part of the region’s gastronomy.
Check out the Château d’Eau, a 19th-century water-tower, which was converted into a gallery in 1974 by Jean Dieuzaide, a French photographer. The gallery is now one of the oldest public places dedicated to photography in the world.

Departures to Liverpool are at 2:55 p.m. on Mondays and 3:45 p.m. on Saturdays, with return departures at 5:10 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on the same days.
