Enjoy the fresh air and the city panorama. Take the cog wheel train (line 60) to Széchenyihegy and walk 15 minutes from there.
Get a sajtos-tejfölös lángos for breakfast before you buy some fresh fruit and vegetables.
Budapest's Central park. A green island surrounded by the Danube in the middle of the city. Fantastic!!
Tiny but wonderful park in the middle of the city. Find a bench and spend an afternoon here while doing nothing :)
Located near the Petőfi Bridge, A38 ship is simply the best venue in Budapest, with many international acts. Easy to access by tram nr 4-6. The Subways and Wolf Parade played here last year. Leia mais.
Swim in the olympic size outdoor pool and don't miss out the sauna. Not open to the public on weekday afternoons!
Great atmosphere, amazing art movies. One of the last remaining cinemas with non-digital projector. Also the smallest cinema in Europe.
Go for the max number of meals at dinner, and accept the wine recommendations. It's going to be expensive, but you won't mind it. Also, very creative vegetarian options, just let them know in advance.
Best cake, cookie, pastry and other sweets in Budapest. A bit off the grid and queues might be long but absolutely worth it.
Highest point of Budapest at 527 meters. Great views to the city and the surrounding hills. Easy 30 minutes walk from the nearest bus stop (line 21).
Take the chairlift to get back to the city. Operates all year except in bad weather.
Nice selection of Hungarian craft, Belgian and USA beers. You can drink in the shop as well, they have 4 beers on tap (2 Brewdogs, 2 Belgian beers) although there is no music so it's not really a bar.
The last remaining non-renovated spa in the city. Small and authentic, not much more than a hamam and a couple of small pools. Must see.
Forgettable food awesome atmosphere. Come here on a hot summer night, drink plenty of "rozéfröccs" (rose spritzer).
Nice little park on a peninsula surrounded by the Danube. Food options are ok, a bit overpriced.
Rent a kayak or canoe here (10€/day) and paddle upstream. Take a dip on a pebble beach or have a fröccs on Luppa island.
Tranquil little island only accessible by boat. Enjoy a stroll along the alley and marvel at the curious architecture of the houses. Paddle up here from Római-part or take the ferry.
Europe's largest outdoor ice rink located in Városliget, a hair away from Heroes' Square. On weekdays, tickets cost 1200 HUF, while from Friday afternoon, the admission fee is 1400 HUF.
Cool place, good drinks selection, good service... Retro 70's bar. Cosy laid back atmosphere.
Craft brewery with an industrial touch far away from the crowded downtown. Co-founded by my friend Medve. Check the opening hours before visiting!
For the adventurous. Take bus 65 to Fenyőgyöngye and hike 2.5 km to the lookout following the blue trail markings. Enjoy the view to the city or the sunset (best viewed from behind the radio mast).
Only Hungarian microbrews on tap here, 16 different kinds at a time. You might want to start early, cause the best ones run out halfway through Friday/Saturday nights. Price range: ~500-1000 ft / mug
Tiny café run by my friends. Get a yummy homemade cake, that’s their speciality.
Tiny bar floating on the Danube with a retro atmosphere. Get a rozéfröccs (rose wine spritzer) with a zsíroskenyér (bread with lard). Got more time? Take the ferry to Luppa Sziget.
One of the venues in town. If you like rock music or other underground stuff, you are at the right place. Table tennis, hammocks, chilling outside in the summer.
