Most Popular Things to do in Budapest
The Ruin Bars
Ruin bars are distinctly Budapest, and definitely worth a visit, even if you’re not into the bar scene. These special watering holes are housed in abandoned buildings and are the centre of Budapest nightlife. Each one offers a different atmosphere from kitschy hipster hangouts to sprawling nightclubs. Szimpla Kert is a factory turned dance club that spans multiple levels and is one of the most popular spots in the city. There’s also Instant, a former apartment building that is now the biggest ruin bar in Budapest. There are various rooms with different DJ sets, plenty of art, grunge, and interesting characters.
Underground Caves
There’s an underground cave system beneath Budapest and it’s definitely worth a visit. If you can handle tight spaces and aren’t afraid of the dark, visiting these caves is a must. Visitors will need to wear a helmet and a miner’s suit to keep them safe and protected as they inch their way through the caverns. While this is a unique and thrilling Budapest attraction, it’s certainly not for the faint of heart.
Buda Castle
This castle is a World UNESCO Heritage Site that was built in the 13th century. It is a mix of medieval and Baroque design, and now houses the Hungarian National Gallery, which is one of the top art museums in the city.
Great Market Hall
Foodies will love this market as it’s filled with fresh meat, cheese, seafood, and locally made goods. The market hall spans three floors and offers plenty of culture alongside the traditional, Hungarian eats. When you aren’t taste-testing the food, do some shopping for meat, spices, fresh fish, crafts, and wine.
Take a Cruise on the Danube River
The Danube River is one of the main attractions in Budapest. Take a walk along the water and enjoy its views from nearby restaurants and bars. If you want to experience it a little more intimately, take a cruise. A boat tour is a great way to view the river from another perspective while enjoying dinner and drinks on board.
