Street Food Karaván
Where To Drink
Very cool place that you need to visit at night! It's not everyone's cup of tea but for me it was a really cool experience. As an architect i was amazed how a revitalized brownfield location like this can be turned into a tourist attraction!
Szimpla Kert
This is an underrated place, which we stumbled upon accidentally. We were searching for some bars that were working late and we found this gem! I think this is more of a student cafe since all around us were young people.
Központ, Budapest
Another awesome bar that had an excellent wine choice! We spent a lovely evening here with our friends. The music was nice, the vibes were great and the ambience top notch!
Klikk BistroBar
This is the only place that had an indoor smoking area, which was pivotal for our friends (we are from Balkans, what can we say). It's a very lowkey and relaxed bar with self-service drinks. Someone was bluntly smoking weed here so if that's what you...
Arboretum

Another masterpiece! This castle is amazing both outside and inside! If you ask me, very underrated!
