Budapest at night: More of a club than a bar

    Kameleon is set on the top floor of Mammut shopping centre, is a large one level bar with half of it's space dedicated to the dance floor. Being located in a flash new shopping centre might not be the most obvious place for the hottest club in Budapest - but what can you do? Forget the chameleon reference, the overwhelming theme here is hot - as in red hot. Everything from the walls to the plush sofas to the go-go dancers catwalk is done up in deep red with flickering gold flame patterns.

    Budapest at night: Summer nights, open bars

    Open air places in Budapest
    by MedioLatino
    In the center of Budapest, especially in the 7th district there are a couple of mostly open air places which are quite popular both among Hungarians and visitors lately.

    They are located in the gardens of old residential houses, which are not used at the moment, some of them might even be under deconstruction soon...

    This are right now (until the good weather lasts) the best places to go, if You want to have a drink, talk to friends, listen to music, and also - at some of the places - if You want to dance .

    They are not easy to find at first, but just go to the Synagogue (Dohány street) and ask anyone about them (or ask me :)!

    The places are rapidly changing sometimes. There are some who are thankfully alive since years now, like "Szimpla Kert" (7th district, Kazinczy u. 14.), but there are some old ones who disappeared unfortunately, due to the local governments regulations usually.

    There is also "Corvin tető" which is just off Blaha Lujza square, at the roof of the ex-Corvin department store.

    And then there is also the A38 boat on the Danube at the Petofi Bridge, "cha-cha-cha terasz", "Holdudvar" and others on the Margaret Island, and so many more!! :)

    Whatever you want to wear is just fine :)

    Budapest at night: Restaurant ships along the Danube

    Between the Chain bridge and Elisabeth-bridge you may find a lot of great restaurant-ships docked and waiting there for guests - even in winter 3 of them were opened and in summer there will be more of them, including a Casino-ship.
    The view on the castle is stunning, although some tourists might prefer to go on a Dinner-cruise instead of staying at the same spot all the time.
    On the other hand, a restaurant-ship like "the spoon" on my picture is certainly the better choice for a perfect dining-atmosphere.
    Click on the link below and have a look at their web-page !

    The spoon seems to be the most formal of all these restaurant-ships.

    the castle of Buda at night
    by globetrott
    The castle of Buda is beautifully lighted at night and walking through its park is easy and offers great panorama-views over the Danube, Buda and Pest.
    This picture was taken in january 2005 at 09.00p.m. and almost nobody else was to be seen in the garden.
    Some places of the castle-hill seem to be sensitive regarding terrorist attacks maybe, because you will see some policemen on the watch - BUT somehow this fact also adds some more security for ordinary tourists.

    Good shoes are best when you intend to WALK down afterwards over the steps ( the funicular will stop running down at 10.00p.m.)

    by globetrott
    Vigadó / Pester Redoute is a beautiful old palace and music-hall, where you may still attend concerts at special times.
    It seems to be at least partly under reconstruction now, but it looks great already from outside and might be worth to take a closer look at the lovely Romantik facade.
    In this music-hall Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner had a concert in the year 1885.

    In general you would not need to be dressed formally for such a concert.

    Budapest at night: Fisher Bastion - totally empty at night

    Fisher Bastion
    by globetrott
    Fisher Bastion is a really romantic place at night and especially photomaniacs will realize, that all of the tourists are somewhere else and taking pictures is really easy then.
    Everything is beautifully lighted -also in wintertime - and all of the places that you may enter freely during the day will be also open all night.

    NObody cares about that, but in winter it might be the best to have good shoes and be maybe extra careful because of eventual icy spots.

    You must sit back and cruise along Budapest beautiful River Danube. From the river you can admire the Parliament House, the Castle, the bridges, the Gellert Hotel, etc... I'd reccomend an organized night cruise (the one's with dinner are especially good) as the views from the Danube are stunning and the city has an entirely different feel by moonlight.-

    Tomen asiento y disfruten de un crucero a lo largo del rio Danubio. Desde el río puede admirarse el Edificio del Parlamento, el Castillo, los puentes, el Hotel Gellert, etc. Les recomiendo un tour nocturno organizado (uno con cena incluida es especialmente bueno), ya que las vistas desde el Danubio son fantásticas y la ciudad luce muy diferente a la luz de la luna

    You can walk around the main people places if the weather is fine. Oktogon then to Ference Liszt Square, used to be hip 5 years ago now just tourists and pleb wanna be famous, look at me Hungarians. Stroll down Andrassy to Deak Ter, then swing left to Astoria. Either go straight down Muzeum Korut to Kalvin Ter then left up Raday utca or take a left on Rakoczi utca towards Blaha Ter. Even a stroll on the paralell streets Dob utca or Dohanyi utca (Jewish District Ex Ghetto) can give a buzz or a vibe of how the city used to look like. Castros down Raday is great with a good Yugoslav Cuisine.Manager is Dutch Kiss Erkel also a nice small bar just off Raday on Erkel utca, shows impromtu movies/Manga goldern oldy Hungarian Commy stuff. Sometimes an old guy comes in to spin some Smooth Jazz or world music.

    Casual.....

    You just musn`t miss to visit at least one time during your stay the Fishermen`s Bastion. I suggest you to do it at night for 2 reasons:

    1. It`s not so crawded

    2.you can admire the view of the illuminated city and of course of the Bastion with the matthias church.

    Note that you must pay about 2 euro if you want to go upstairs, but in winter, until the 14 of march it`s free of charge.

    As you can see, the whole reconstruction of the Matthias Church has already begun. Hopefully, in 2010 this world famous church will be in a perfect shape. On the photos you can see views of the Church from the different sides of the Fishermen`s bastion, at night, of course:)
