The Budapest Sun was established in 1993 by Jim Michaels. Much of the staff had come over from the already defunct Budapest Post. It was acquired by Associated Newspapers of Great Britain, a member of the Daily Mail General Trust, in 1996. The paper had a circulation of 16,000 copies in 2002.
The Budapest Sun was closed in early 2009, its last issue appearing on 29 January of that year.
