The heart of Budapest - and a favorite for students and young people. Check out Akvárium Klub, Design Terminal, Fröccsterasz. Popular venue for summer festivals and weekend markets. Подробнее.
The biggest collection of pinball in all of Europe. This place is HUGE! Admission is less than $10USD I believe and it's good for all day. They've got pinball dating back to the 40s.
You can pay to go to the top level or stay on the ground level for free! While looking at the cafe go to the left. There is a small opening where you can get to a ledge to overlook the city for free!
The complex showcases statues of key Hungarian figures. Nearby: City Park, a lake where you can ice skate in winter, Vajdahunyad Castle, Széchenyi Bath, Gundel restaurant and Budapest Zoo.
A pretty good rundown of Hungarian history from year 0 to modern day.
Dark, well told museum. The courtyard area is beautiful. The walls around the inside are listed the names of many of the victims.
Honors Jews who were killed during WW II.Ordered to take off their shoes, shot at the edge of the water so that their bodies fell into the river. Represents their shoes left behind on the bank.
Read a wikipedia page on this era before going. It was a little bit confusing if you're not familiar with Europe post WW2. But a massive museum & english writing at the beginning of all rooms
A super knowledgable staff. They are always helpful and nice. Don't miss this small cafe, even if it's a quick to-go coffee, because I think it's the best coffee (and for sure flat white) in town.
The outside was one of many inspirations for Wed Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel. Stand in the garden across the street and admire the architecture.
Don't be afraid to enter the Szimpla bar! It might not look great but it's unique and you can have so much fun here with the right company!
My Little Melbourne lives by its motto - "Life is too short for bad coffee" -, and serves tasty caffeine elixirs, and also provides salads, sandwiches, croissants, juices, and soft drinks.
Even if you aren't a guest of the hotel, you can participate in the wine+cheese happy hour. Every day 4-6pm for 25 euros you get unlimited wine + fruit and cheese and live piano + singers
To quench your culture-thirst, head over to Buda Castle’s Hungarian National Gallery, where the largest public collection of Hungarian fine arts is exhibited.
Seriously, one of the best deals in town. $5 for a schwarma, salad, fries, pita
So many options! Various pinballs, air hockeys, guitar hero, doom, dance revolution and many more. Favourite arcade place in Budapest. ❤️
We stumbled across here and so glad we did. EVERYTHING was tasty. Get the mezze plate to try a little bit of everything.
Skip the drinks at the bar. Grab drinks from the grocery store and sit in the grass overlooking the river. Incredible views.
Tucked away in a hidden alley, this wood fire pizza place is pretty delicious. Cash only (I believe)
If you're missing Greece, this is your go-to spot. It feels and tastes like Greece. It may sound weird, but don't miss the bathrooms!.
