Hellotickets, a global platform and passionate provider of travel experiences, put Budapest on a list of Europe’s summer no-go zones, including even Warsaw, Poland’s capital, and Corfu.
Hellotickets is a leading global platform and passionate provider of travel experiences, tours and activities, helping explorers from 15 countries find their way to more wonder in the world. They compiled a list of the best and worst European travel destinations for hay fever sufferers. Budapest did not perform well on the list.
“In the UK, hay fever affects 49% of the population, particularly in the pollen season from early spring to mid-autumn, making it one of the most common allergies in the country”, Hellotickets wrote.
If you have tree pollen allergies, avoiding travel during the spring months is advised. Instead, organising your holidays from July to January will be your best option. If you are especially sensitive to grass pollen, then early summer is the time to skip. Lastly, if ragweed is your biggest allergy, early autumn will be a no-go, Hellotickets added.
Among the best cities for tree pollen sufferers are Lisbon, Athens, Reykjavík, and Madrid. Concerning grass pollen, Athens, London, Reykjavík, and Dublin are on the top. Meanwhile, weed pollen sufferers should go to Reykjavík in September and October, Paris in November, Lisbon in December, and Madrid in January and February.
A lot depends on the exact travel time. For example, Dublin is the worst place to go as a grass pollen sufferer in September and October, but the best in January and February. HERE is Hellotickets’ chart in the issue.
Hellotickets put Budapest among the European no-go zones for summer with Warsaw and Corfu. Based on the data they worked with, provided by Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service, pollen concentration is high in Budapest’s air, index.hu wrote.
Nevertheless, Budapest is a good choice in May and June because the concentration is low in those two months. The situation worsens and gets unbearable for hay fever sufferers in July, August, and early autumn. Zürich is the opposite of Budapest. Concentration is very high in spring and early summer but is much lower in the late summer and autumn months.
