Top 3 airlines serving from Budapest to Venice

Austrian airline they cancel my fight , and the couldn’t give me flight , they said only available flight 4th and after , I sacked for refund, even from you KYAK , and tell now no any refund , because what happened I lost more money because I have to stay in hotel and then I buy new ticket

the flight was canceled, and I had to stay more than six days at hotel . waiting . then I had to buy new ticket. really it was very bad experience, and I lost a lot of money and time , and your airline said sorry

Management and staff att viena wasn’t professional,and they are not good by how to communicate and solve the problem, I was shocked , as I know Austrian airlines was amusing Thank you

The baggage arrived damaged and i spent EUR 300 on the baggage a month ago. No responsibility from airline or the handles.

Tight connection from Austrian Airlines made this challenging. Our luggage did not make it, delivered the next day at noon. Flight itself was very full, not especially comfortable.

The flight was late. We accommodated other missed flights, and the plane was full of people, without space to store carry-on luggage. They lost our checked luggage for the entire flight and delivered it after two days.

I am Star Alliance Gold which meant nothing at security as my partner, who was on the same ticket, couldn’t come through with me which meant I had to wait for 20 minutes for him to join me. For a hub airport the lounge was small and uninspiring. We told staff of our security experience and they informed us it was like this for everyone. Isn’t this is an Austrian Airlines hub? Boarding was a nightmare as there was only one person at the gate and again, I had to go through without my partner. The boarding was supposed to be in groups but a bunch of travellers with lower groups were crowding the entry level. After I managed to get through I found myself on a bus waiting with 3 others for 15 minutes as the checkin had failed. Then only to find everyone else coming onto the same bus. My partner and friends actually beat me onboard. The crew were young and unable to control the crowd allowing people to stand in the rain instead of getting people to their seats promptly. During flight we were only offered a cup of water & a chocolate. Not impressed with Austrian Airlines or their Vienna hub airport and plan not to use them again if I can help it!

Flight attendants were awful, very rude and inconsiderate for mothers with small infants traveling.

Vienna airport is a zoo Agents directed me to the wrong gate and then the wrong line Lounge is so crowded no place to sit Not enough bathrooms anywhere On the flight they asked for medical attention While I attended to the problem they forgot my food when I got back They forgot to give me water at night Waited 1 hour for bags Agents didn’t know which Shute the bags were coming to so it was between 2 places

Food: my selection was pasta with vegetables, though it was potatoes not pasta. Breakfast was 2 rolls and some sort of spreads— not sure what they were. Worst thing was that we had to wait for over 90 minutes for our bags to show up at O’Hare

Horrible they wouldn’t let my wife and daughter board the plane. They stated there was an issue with her visa when she clearly showed them how to look it up online. This resulted in her missing her flight and having to buy a different airline ticket for the same day in which clearly there was no problem.

You need to reimburse me for my seats purchased and luggage.

My baggage has been lost for the last 6 days! The problem originated at LAX with Lufthansa, which was a very big disappointment from LAX to Munich. The flight was delayed over an hour, the overhead bins on the window side are too small for most carryon's, the in-seat video screen were very poor as they would not respond to your touch quickly and would stop and start all over again, the earphone jacks are not like most standard ones, the seats still has wrappers and trash in pockets and on the seats. and there was no USB outlet to charge your phone or other devices. The German reputation for quality is bogus with this airline. BUT the responsibility for delivering my luggage became Air Dolomiti's as they were the last leg of the trip. The baggage area was chaos because several flights arrived at once. I took me over an hour to file a claim, the agent entered my info incorrectly, and the contact numbers for Lost and Found at the airport was never answered. I have never been called by Air Dolomiti or the baggage delivery company. I had to do all the calling. AD's live agents gave me two wrong phone numbers for the baggage company. When I finally got the right one on my third call, OF COURSE, no one answers and I still do not have any information on when my bags should arrive. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL operations by Lufthansa and Air Dolomiti. I will make sure I book any other air carriers on the rest of my flights to Italy this year.

Seats on the A320 were more comfortable than the A330 I took from RSW to Frankfurt

Online checking, bag drop, ground crew and flight crew excellent. Seats better and more comfortable that many others in Economy, still narrow for 9 plus hour flights, but you manage. Drink and meal service a bit sparse but adequate, return flight was a bit less attended. All in all, a good experience. Lufthansa never disappoints.

Our flight was canceled for unknownreqson and we had to wait for another 7 houres to get the next flight

Seat was comfortable, but very hard to work to recline properly. Impossible to find the headphone jack. Food was not good at all. Tray table pocket was filthy. Flight attendant seemed annoyed at everyone and everything.

Lufhtansa has and can do better. The food was inedible. No individual light for reading.

A short flight. What was offered was appropriate Friendly staff. Pleasant

Economy from RUH to FRA was terrible, zero space. FRA to ORD was amazing in Business Class, First class from ORD to SEA was a very old plane and flight attendant was on her phone most the whole time, not great service at all

Boarding process makes no sense for priority boarding or not since everyone gets crammed in a bus and everyone gets out without any difference.

Left on time and arrived on time both ways, thank you

Letting people wait outside for boarding in the rain and almost 0 degrees for a high temperature destination is very customer unfriendly

The usual average Ryanair flight, but we landed 20 min before due time, which was very good.

While this flight from Dublin to Venice boarded on time, its departure was delayed by about an hour because, apparently, there were no demonstration kits on board, and we couldn't depart until the safety demonstration was completed. We were informed that we were in danger of losing our delayed slot if Ryanair engineering didn't provide the kits 'soon', which would have resulted in an additional two-hour delay. Thankfully, we didn't incur that additional delay. It's not clear where the source of this problem lies but it needs to be addressed to ensure it does not recur for other flights in the future.

The flight was canceled 2 days before, without any alternative offer

Flight was delayed due to weather so not much Ryanair could do about that - otherwise it was very efficient and smooth

L'imbarco, personale scortese. Hanno voluto un sovrapprezzo di 70€ per un trolley che faticava ad entrare nel loro misuratore a causa delle ruote troppo rigide

The flight was delayed by more then 5 hours and we lost our connecting flight. We had to purchase new connecting flights to our expense.

Budapest’s Gellért Baths

We found a swimming pool in every city on our Interrail trip around Europe

Swimming at every stop left us fresh and invigorated – and led us to parts of cities that tourists seldom visit

S tepping into the lobby of the Gellért Baths in Budapest is like stepping back in time. Having resisted the temptation to look at photos of the baths online, I was thrilled at my first sight of the spectacular art nouveau interior. After changing, my husband and I did a few laps of the main indoor pool, admiring the intricately decorated columns surrounding us. Afterwards, we explored the building’s labyrinth of geothermal pools before emerging on to the enormous roof terrace. There, we swam in the heated outdoor pool under bright sunshine.

Less touristy than the more party-style Széchenyi Baths , the Gellért offered us the chance of a decent swim and steam.

Visiting a thermal spa in Budapest is a must, but this wasn’t the first dip on our Interrail trip around Europe last spring. Lured by the offer of a discount on an Interrail Global Pass , we found time to travel across mainland Europe by rail – 30 years since I last Interrailed in my 20s – with little in mind but sightseeing, eating and drinking.

The terrace cafe at Ljubljana’s Museum of Modern Art

We had loosely planned a clockwise route, starting on the Eurostar from London to Brussels and returning via Paris two months later. Staying in mid-price hotels and hostels, we took whirlwind tours of Bruges, Brussels, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Berlin and Kraków, trying an endless stream of cafes, bars and restaurants.

But less than two weeks into our trip, when we arrived in the Slovakian capital, Bratislava, we found that our experiences were already blurring into one. What’s more, despite walking a good number of steps each day, we were feeling the effects of the freedom to overindulge and missing the routine of our regular swims back home.

So, deciding it was time to take action, we hit on the idea of seeking out a swim wherever we stopped. We Googled swimming pools and set off across the city on foot, eventually arriving at Plaváreň Pasienky . Once inside the facility’s largely deserted building, we wandered up and down staircases and along quiet corridors until we spotted a sign telling us that the entrance to the pool was “through the wardrobes”. We located our respective changing rooms and found an attendant selling tickets.

Our journey through the wardrobes then led us to a 50-metre pool – the largest in Bratislava – with just a handful of swimmers bobbing along the lanes. Though the pool was a little run down (and would soon be refurbished, to reopen this spring), we emerged feeling invigorated and ready for the next leg of our journey.

Besides the obvious physical benefits, our swimming expeditions also took us to parts of cities we might otherwise have missed.

Plage de la Gravette in Antibes

On our way to Plaváreň Pasienky, we chanced upon the giant Slovak Radio Building, shaped like an upside-down pyramid. After our swim, we travelled back to the old town by trolleybus, missed our stop and ended up at the parliament building, where we dined at a restaurant overlooking the Danube.

In Budapest, our visit to the Gellért Baths had led us across the Danube from Pest to Buda via the magnificent Liberty Bridge and given us glorious views over Gellért Hill.

As we journeyed across Europe, we became obsessed with comparing swimming pool prices and facilities, embraced the array of wristbands and tokens for lockers and hairdryers, learned that most pools insisted on flip-flops and a swimming cap, and came to accept the lack of information online about opening times.

In Austria, during our stay in the south-eastern city of Graz, we swam at  Bad zur Sonne , a pristine stainless steel-bottomed pool where the efforts of swimmers contrasted starkly with spectators enjoying an early morning beer. Later, our swim provided a conversation opener with locals, who told us how, before the building was renovated, it had been the scene of an arts event, with bands using the drained pool as a stage and artists setting up their wares in the cubicles.

A rainy day in the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, led us to the 10-lane Kopališče Tivoli in Tivoli Park where, after our swim, we ate delicious savoury waffles in the pool’s Vafljivaflji cafe and drank fresh orange-and-mint tea. Our exit through the park led us to an outdoor photographic exhibition, an ornate Serbian Orthodox church and the Museum of Modern Art, with its fabulously stylish cocktail bar.

In Trieste, we walked the width of the port to the enormous Centro Federale, run by the Italian Swimming Federation. After a patient receptionist helped us register online, we made our way around the building to Piscina Bruno Bianchi . We were about to jump into an empty Olympic-size pool when we spotted the teams of swimmers arriving for their competition and noticed a smaller pool at the back for public swimming. With its six lanes and diving “pit”, the 25-metre pool was still an impressive facility.

The walk back to our Airbnb led us along the tree-lined Passeggio Sant’Andrea, where we stumbled on the Ariston cinema and watched an Irish arthouse film.

In Vicenza, we were sure we’d taken a wrong turn when we arrived at a building milling with teenagers, but a helpful student directed us across the school car park to Piscina Patronato Leone XIII . The facilities were basic but the pool was clean and orderly, thanks to an officious attendant who made sure everyone showered before getting in the water, and swam in the right direction.

In Pistoia, an underpass led us to a quiet residential area and, down a side street, to the grandly named Acquarama .

“Do you know the Olympic pool in London?” asked the receptionist, surprised to see tourists. We nodded eagerly.

“Well, this is nothing like that!” he laughed. When we saw the narrow pool with its faded tiles, we understood why he wanted to manage our expectations, but with only one lane already occupied we enjoyed another refreshing swim.

As we took the train along the Italian Riviera towards France and the weather got warmer, our swims moved outdoors, but we continued to look for modest locations.

On a fine day in Sanremo, we slipped on to the beach of Bagni Paradiso , where the rocky groynes and rows of changing cabins created the calm of a lido. As it was still slightly off-season, the only other visitors were inside the beach restaurant – guests at an Italian family lunch.

In Antibes we loved the unpolished feel of Plage de la Gravette – the horseshoe-shaped public beach behind the ramparts of the old town, made all the more entertaining by seasonal workers from the luxury yachts in the harbour, who shared stories as they swam in the sea.

In Bordeaux we took the tramway to Les Aubiers and serene Plage du Lac . We clocked up lengths while ducks swam around us and boats sailed by in the distance, rested afterwards under tall trees, watching teenagers playing table tennis – and felt we’d been fully immersed in local culture.

Dune: Part Two , the anticipated second instalment of the sci-fi series, was released last week after a three-year wait. The world of Arrakis revisited on the big screen did not disappoint.

Director Denis Villeneuve ’s Dune 2 ’, based on the 1965 novel by Frank Herbert, welcomes back characters Paul Atreides, Chani and the Fremen, with Paul “seek[ing] revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family” and fighting to regain their home planet.

The epic odyssey features a star-studded cast including Timothée Chalamet , Zendaya , Rebecca Ferguson and Josh Brolin revisiting familiar desert-scapes from the 2021 film.

New faces in the fold for the sequel include Austin Butler , Christopher Walken and Florence Pugh , as well as fresh Italian backdrops. It’s expected the desert settings will expand even further for the unconfirmed  Dune 3 .

Here’s where to go to visit the real-life locations behind the sand-swept sets.

Where was Dune 2 filmed?

Budapest, hungary.

Sequences were filmed in the Origo Film Studios’ backlot in Budapest

Many of the explosive battles and action sequences in Dune and Dune: Part Two were filmed in Budapest ’s Origo Studios’ backlot.

Other notable movies staged on the Hungarian set include Poor Things, Blade Runner and Inferno .

Wadi Rum, Jordan

Unesco-hotspot Wadi Rum doubles as the red sands of Arrakis

The red sand landscapes, harsh, arid climate and otherworldly terrain of Wadi Rum in southern Jordan transport viewers to the Fremen sietches (villages) and homeland.

In a promotional behind-the-scenes video, Villeneuve said: “ Dune is about the relationship of human with nature.

“It was important for me to bring that nature to the screen so that the audience will believe that, and feel that there’s something that feels real, feels tactile.”

Liwa Oasis, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Paul ‘sandwalks’ the dunes of the Arabian desert

Filming headed back to the Liwa Oasis in Abu Dhabi for the rock shelters and sandworm-infested exteriors of Arrakis.

Tanya Lapointe, a producer on  Dune,  said that they went “even deeper” into the desert than the first film, with an established “network of 18 miles of road leading to different filming locations”.

Variety  reported that the team spent a month in the Arabian desert’s rolling dunes – some 300m high – with the cast holed up in the luxury Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort .

Altivole, Treviso, Italy

Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan in ‘Dune: Part Two'

A new filming location to the  Dune  franchise, the Italian municipality of Altivole plays host to the extravagant home of Princess Irulan and the Corrino house. A world away from the Fremen’s barren wasteland, the Italian architecture sets this faction apart in shades of grey.

Memoriale Brion, Altivole, Treviso, Italy

Carlo Scarpa’s modernist tomb was used for exterior shots of the Corrino household

Elsewhere in Treviso , the Memoriale Brion’s contemporary design stood for the exterior of the Corrino home. The tomb in Altivole is a monumental burial ground for the Brion family.

Carlo Scarpa’s 1968 design was restored in 2021 – the complex of modernist architecture featuring concrete buildings, zen gardens and water fountains.

‘Dune: Part Two’ is in cinemas now.

Practical Travel Information Guide For Your Trip to Budapest

B udapest is the capital city of Hungary and one of the most beautiful cities we have had the pleasure of exploring across the world. Remember when planning your trip to Budapest to pay attention to the weather and any local holidays that can impact your vacation. This complete practical guide covers everything that you should know before visiting Budapest.

Where to stay in Budapest

We stayed at the Art’Otel in the Buda side of the city. It is perfectly located just few blocks from the Buda Complex and the Chain Bridge, and a short walk to metro and bus stop. The best part of the hotel is the view from the bedroom as you can overlook either the Fisherman Bastion or the Hungarian Parliament.

If you want to stay in the Pest side, we recommend the Eurostars Danube Budapest , in the heart of the Jewish Neighborhood. It is close to the most famous ruin bar, szimpla, the Jewish synagogues and Deak Ferenc Ter.

Hotel prices in Budapest are quite reasonable. The two hotels we recommend are super affordable considering they are 4-star hotels, with a great location and new rooms. The room rate varies from 60 to 80 euros a night depending on the season and when you book your reservation.

Important information for your visit to Budapest

Transportation:  The best way to move around Budapest is by foot or public transportation. If you rather using a taxi, keep in mind that they do not have Uber anymore so you will have to download their local app, Taxify.

Currency:  In Hungary you can pay pretty much everything with your credit card, although it is always good to carry cash just in case. Their local currency is the Hungarian Forint (HUF). 1 Euro equals 322 Hungarian forint and 1 USD equals 286 Hungarian Forint as of November 2018. The best way to look for the current exchange rate is on Google .

Attractions:   The Budapest Card includes public transportation, entrance to a handful of museums and up to 50% discount on other famous attractions and restaurants.

How to get from the Airport to Pest side?

Depending on where you go in Pest, but if you go to the Jewish Neighborhood the easiest way is to take the bus 100E towards Deak Ferenc Ter.  The bus leaves every half an hour and it goes straight from the airport to Deak Ferenc Square. The cost for the bus is 900 HUF and it runs from 4AM to 12:30 AM.

How to get from the Airport to the Buda side?

It will be the same as to the Pest side but then from Deak Ferenc Square you have to take the metro M2 towards Deli Palayaudvar M.

The best means of transportation really depends on where in Budapest you want to go. The easiest way to find out is using Google Maps to search from the airport to your hotel and it will give you the information you need to get to the right place.

Where to leave your luggage?

It is quite common to have extra time when you arrive before check in or on the day you are leaving after check out to continue to explore Budapest. It is best if you do not have to drag your luggage around the city with you. If you are staying at a hotel, that would be your best option as it is cheaper, if not free and safe. If you are staying at an Airbnb or hostel then Luggage Storage Budapest can be an excellent option.

What you should see in Budapest?

Budapest has many attractions that are not to be missed during your visit. Its highlights include the Buda Castle, Fisherman’s Bastion, historic Jewish Quarter, and the Hungarian Parliament. For a complete list of things to do in Budapest check out our complete walking guide to Budapest .

Where Was Dune 2 Filmed?

travel from budapest to italy

By Rachel Davies

Image may contain Desert Nature Outdoors Photography Adult Person Accessories Bag Handbag and Scenery Where Was Dune 2...

The most important part of production designer Patrice Vermette’s work on Dune: Part Two was creating something fresh. The movie veteran brought an epic multiplanetary world to life for the Dune: Part One —and won an Oscar for his work—but director Denis Villeneuve specifically asked Vermette to treat viewers to an entirely new visual feast this time around. “He said, ‘We don’t want to repeat any sets, everything needs to be new. Nobody wants to go to the same places,’ and I one hundred percent agreed with that,” Vermette tells AD . The second installment of the science fiction epic cracks open this futuristic universe further, displaying the various cultures and their aesthetics at greater depth. Vermette’s task was to reinvigorate those essential desert landscapes, create hundreds of thousands of square feet of new sets in tune with each distinct culture, and find new filming locations that would resonate with the story.

Read on to find out exactly where Dune: Part Two was filmed.

Altivole, Italy

Image may contain Sword Weapon Adult Person Clothing Hat and People

For scenes that take place in the Imperial Gardens, Dune: Part Two shot on location at the Brion tomb in Altivole, Italy.

When Vermette read the script for the sequel, he envisioned one very specific location for the gardens on the Imperium planet of Kaitain, Princess Irulan ( Florence Pugh ), and the Emperor’s ( Christopher Walken ) home. What immediately came to mind was the post-modernist Brion tomb in Altivole, Italy, a small northern town with a population hovering around 7,000. The cemetery there was designed by Carlo Scarpa, an architect whose work has been an inspiration to Vermette for over 30 years, and whose work influenced Vermette in his designs for Caladan and Arakeen in the first film.

When he shared photos of the cemetery with Villeneuve, the director was immediately interested in the prospect, but the managers of the property weren’t keen on welcoming film crews. It’s a private cemetery for the Brion family, and they’d never accepted a filming request before. It wasn’t until they realized that one of the family members was a fan of Dune: Part One that the request was approved. The Kaitain exteriors were shot in the gardens, and the interiors at the beginning of the film were shot inside of the cemetery’s chapel, though sets for later scenes on Kaitain were built on the Budapest soundstage.

One very brief scene takes place in Namibia, in a vision of the future of the desert planet of Arrakis, newly replenished with water. “Denis always dreamed of having a place where the ocean meets the sand dunes,” Vermette says. “To my knowledge, you find that in Qatar and Namibia. For Qatar, you need to wait for high tides. In Namibia, it's like a wall. It's the desert and then a drop to the waves, and I think that's what the movie needed for that vision.”

Despite the scene being so short, it’s one of the most talked about because of Anya Taylor Joy’s appearance as Alia Atreiedes. Leading up to the movie, Joy’s appearance was completely secret—her name doesn’t even appear in the closing credits, as EW reported . “Very few of us went [to Namibia], and we signed with our blood the fact that Anya Taylor Joy was in the plane with us. Even my kids didn’t know,” Vermette says.

United Arab Emirates and Jordan

Timothée Chalamet and director Denis Villeneuve on location for Dune: Part Two .

The crews returned to the United Arab Emirates and Jordan for desert scenes. As in the first film, locations in Jordan, like Al Siq, were chosen for scenes that featured canyons, while the United Arab Emirates was selected for the essential dune shots. Though they chose to return to those same countries, in keeping with their mandate to bring something new to the movie, they tried out different locations in each place.

Beyond that, their approach to working in the deserts was dramatically different this time around. While filming Dune: Part One , only props were brought in, but for this film backlots were created in the middle of the desert, allowing for much grander interventions. Massive equipment, like the large harvester machine’s legs in one action scene with Paul ( Timothée Chalamet ) and Chani ( Zendaya ), were brought into the desert so they could achieve a look as realistic as possible and capture the movement of the sun. “It was like huge puppeteering,” Vermette says.

Budapest, Hungary

Lady Fenring (Léa Seydoux)’s room in Giedi Prime was inspired by a spider upturned on its back, while the corridor seen here was inspired by septic tanks.

Like the first movie, Dune: Part Two ’s sets were built on soundstages in Budapest, Hungary. The sets were split between Origo Studios—where other films with expansive sets, like Poor Things and Blade Runner 2049 , have been filmed—and Hungexpo, an exhibition space with a 103,000 square foot room. The film required a massive amount of space, with at least 40% more square footage of sets compared to the first movie, to capture many more distinct locations across the planets.

The scene in the Harkonnen arena on Giedi Prime (featuring Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha) was shot on an infrared camera, requiring careful consideration over what materials were used in creating the space.

Built at Hungexpo, Geidi Prime is particularly memorable, with its menacing monochromatic design and bulbous shapes. In creating that planet’s distinct look, Vermette was inspired by the way light reflected off of plastic molded septic tanks and spiders. Whether on the soundstage or in the sand, an attention to detail keeps Dune: Part Two mesmerizing from end to end.
