Budapest at night, Budapest

I was at Fogasház where I went with my local friends. This is a place in the city centre in one of the back street Akácfa utca. It's a big house where the inner courtyard and the first floor used for a bar and a party place. At night awsome DJs play. Lot of young people dance till 4 am. The prices of the drinks are ok and have free wi-fi.
There are interesting paintings and photos on the walls, and when I was there some film screening was going on too.
We went back in the morning to look around and turns out you can rent bikes. So we did that for the day to look around in Budapest.

Dress Code: as you like

2. The New York Palace. This building recieved it`s great illumination when the latest renovation was made, between 2002 and 2006. Altough this building is very attractive also by day, but at night, when it`s fully lit up, becomes beyond every doubt the most breathtaking sight of the whole Gran Boulevard (Nagykörút). See also my Things to do tip to know how does it look like by day.

Budapest at night in my opinion is Budapest with all its best. Charming lights everywhere, nice panoramas, especially looking at Parliament, Castle of Buda, Chain Bridge.

We had nice time on the boat watching all the main sights of night Budapest.

If you are in Budapest with a lover then a walk along the waterfront and through its small streets is something that shouldn't be missed. It was one of our favourite things to do while in Budapest. The city is wonderfully illuminated at night, my wife and I found it terribly romantic. Kiss one another while you slowly stroll along the waterfront or sit at one of its many benches. Here you will not only fall in love with Budapest but also fall deeper in love with each other.

Dress Code: Wear whatever you like or nothing at all.

Pick a nice clear evening and sit out in St Stephen's Square (Szent Istvan Ter) with a drink or a coffee and watch the world go by in front of St Stephen's Basilica. The basilica is very near Erzsebet Ter and Deak Ferenc Ter, and therefore close to many of the major hotels on the Pest side of the river. We sat out after visiting the Duna Palota (Danube Palace) for a Folk music & dance concert. It was stll very busy so good for people watching too. There are a number of cafes and bars along Zrinyi U. and the square.

Dress Code: Great thing about this activity is that you don't have to get dressed up, unless you want to of course.

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!! :)

Dress Code: Whatever you want to wear is just fine :)
