Category: Budapest

One of the best part of Budapest is the ruin pubs. Someone had a genius idea that instead of desecrating the ruins of old buildings, the remnants could be remodelled into dope and totally unique clubs. While in Budapest I visited every club that I could, and the experience was unlike any I’d had before. These are my two favorites.

Szimpla

Szimpla is full of these crazy antiques (like a run down antique car and old broken pay phone) that you can play with. Also, all the different rooms and areas are just crazy.

These spaces are great photo ops and perfect backdrops for getting as wrecked as the pub is.

Above the dance floor, there’s this cool balcony, full of little nooks and crannies if you want some privacy.

And there’s hookah.

Instant

Instant is another great ruin pub with a cool dance floor and just ridiculous little oddities everywhere.

I’m always up for a rooftop bar, but NYC can’t compete with Budapest when it comes to incredible views. 

This bar is just gorgeous with such a phenomenal view. You have to climb up just a tall, twisting staircase to get to the bar (which is entirely confined to the rooftop).  Highly recommend the sparkling pink rosé drink.

At Tip Top bar with my amazing Hungarian friend Peter.

Everybody knows the baths and the hype is completely appropriate. They’re gorgeous, the water feels amazing, and the water is even supposed to have this magical healing and beautifying effect.

Gorgeous backdrop, soothing water, and you leave with incredibly smooth skin.

My friend Petra and I enjoying  the water:

If you went to Budapest and didn’t go to the baths, you never went to Budapest.

Budapest is my absolute favorite city. It’s honestly like some sort of made-up fairy tale world because it’s just so incredibly beautiful and so much fun (and super cheap!) The bars and pubs are all unique and the drinks and dirt cheap. Also, there’s Pálinka.
