WELCOME 

ALIA AKKAM 

Editor-in-chief of Where Budapest 

When I was a kid, September always felt more like the beginning of the year than January, 

with all those spiral notebooks filled with blank, promising pages that I couldn’t wait to 

crack open. To me, September represented a thrilling plunge into the unknown. This issue, 

I hope, will inspire you to see some of the equally exciting possibilities that await you in 

Budapest this month. 

Consider the annual Budapest Wine Festival, a lively, one-of-a-kind way to discover some 

of the producers shaping the local oenophile scene. If you prefer beer, we’ll also 

introduce you to some of the top Hungarian craft brands in our nightlife insert. 

Budapest’s robust art and culture programming for the fall kicks off this month, too, and 

we encourage you to see an eye-popping modern circus performance, or wander through 

one of the city’s pioneering contemporary photography galleries. 

Over the last few years a slew of dynamic vegetarian and vegan eateries have popped up 

here. There is one particularly delightful bakery we are smitten with, where the 

sophisticated creations are made without eggs, soy, or dairy products. Go visit. 

Since the month signifies change, including a reluctant goodbye to summer, it’s also a 

great time to get some pampering in, and we know just the leafy retreat that will leave 

you rejuvenated. 

Finally, it wouldn’t be September without a little spirited “back-to-school” shopping. A pair of 

handmade glasses at Tipton Eyeworks will leave you just as giddy as your first day of school.

BOSCH + BOSCH GROUP AND THE VOJVODINA 

NEO-AVANTGARDE MOVEMENT 

Most of the young members of the art collective Bosch + Bosch Group, founded 

in the former Yugoslavia in 1969, were of Hungarian descent and influenced by Hungarian 

activism during the interwar period. Little is known of Bosch + Bosch Group outside the 

region, but the Ludwig Museum is now shining a light on their bold contributions to 

modern Yugoslav art, including those of Katalin Ladik and Bálint Szombathy, who later found 

international success. Running through November 17, the exhibition also includes the works 

of early 1970s neo-avant garde artists based in Novi Sad. ludwigmuseum.hu

showcasing talents like Mario Biondi, 

as well as screenings of favorite films 

including Federico Fellini’s 1960 La 

Dolce Vita. One musical act not to

Foriani. Graziano, who sang with 

Marianne Faithfull in The Girl from 

Nagasaki, and Foriani, a composer, 

are magical together, deftly 

bouncing from Neapolitan songs

CASTLE HILL 

Meandering through Castle Hill’s picturesque cobblestoned streets, filled with cozy restaurants, cafés (be sure to take a cake and coffee break 

at Ruszwurm, one of the city’s oldest confectioneries) shops, and galleries is an excursion that many visitors to Budapest cherish. It’s not just 

the quaint medieval setting that appeals, however, but the history that permeates this UNESCO World Heritage site. Ride the funicular up 

to Buda’s beautiful Castle Hill, a limestone plateau above the Danube, to the commanding Baroque-era palace. Originally completed in the 

13th century, it was re-built by the Hapsburgs and welcomes patrons through the ornate Corvinus Gate. At this cultural complex you’ll find 

the Hungarian National Gallery, featuring the work of 18th- and 19th-century Hungarian artists, as well as the Budapest History Museum, 

which does a fine job of delving into the city’s complex past. Northwest of this is Hospital in the Rock Nuclear Bunker Museum. Once an 

air-raid emergency hospital during World War II, it now offers a peek into a secret subterranean world spawned by the extensive network of 

caverns running below the castle. Just a few minutes away is the elegant and slender Matthias Church. Tracing its roots to the 11th century, 

it beckons with a roof of colorful tiles and awes with frescoes and stained glass inside. Fisherman’s Bastion, a sprawling neo-gothic and 

neo-romanesque terrace that flaunts storybook turrets, is beside the church. Before descending into the city, join the 

crowds here to take in one of Budapest’s most hypnotic panoramas. 

TOP 

PICK 


Wine Down 

Visiting Buda’s Castle District is essential no matter the season, but our personal favorite time to while away a few 

hours here is during the Budapest Wine Festival. Against a backdrop of palatial buildings, we sip Hungarian wine 

after Hungarian wine and the feeling is one of sheer magic especially if we’re holed up at one of the coveted tables 

on the Budapest Terrace soaking up the ambience. The 28th edition takes place September 5-8. If you’re remotely 

curious about Hungary’s long, rich wine legacy, you’ll definitely want to snag a ticket. 


Of course the best way to learn about Hungary’s 22 

different wine regions is by visiting them firsthand. 

If you have the time for such an excursion on your 

Budapest trip, we highly recommend that you 

orchestrate a tour through as many cozy, rustic cellars 

as possible. If not, consider the Budapest Wine Festival 

a powerful starting point for discovering Hungarian 

wine and learning the names of those hard-topronounce 

indigenous varietals in the process. 

For the “greatest hits,” we suggest grabbing VinAgora 

Taste of Hungary’s helpful booklet with a map that 

leads you to some of Hungary’s most emblematic 

wines all of which won at the VinAgora International 

Wine Competition including Tokaj Aszú, Bull’s Blood 

of Eger (Egri Bikavér), Cabernet Franc from Villány, 

Furmint, and Welschriesling (Olaszrizling), with a 

special emphasis this year on wines from the Eger 

region.To ensure that you’re properly fortified while 

tasting all these wines, there will be plenty of food 

vendors on hand as well. We suggest the dishes from 

Ami Burger and Gléda Vendéglő, or if a simple slice of 

pizza will do, the satisfying one from Pizza Me. 

Complementing the food and drink is live entertainment 

across three different stages. Along with plenty of folk 

music and dancing, look out for performances from 

artists like Dánielfy Gergely és a Utazók, Káel Norbert 

and Jazzical Trio, and the Gáspár Károly Trio. 

If your schedule doesn’t allow for a leisurely evening 

at the festival, then we encourage you to visit a 

local wine shop (Bortársaság has a comprehensive 

selection) and stock up on a few bottles to bring back 

home. Here are seven wineries that are participating 

in the Budapest Wine Festival you should consider. 


BOCK 

The Bock family has been making wine in the Villány region since 

the mid-19th century, and with a rustic hotel, restaurant, and cellar 

to explore on the grounds, it’s a true tourist destination. If a trip 

out here isn’t in the cards, then seek out bottles of winemaker 

József Bock’s dry, high-acidity Olaszrizling and spicy, Syrah- 

Kékfrankos-Pinot Noir red blend, Bock & Roll, in Budapest. bock.hu 

GERE 

Winemaking has been part of the Gere family’s history for 

seven generations. Now under the leadership of Attila Gere, it 

produces wines like a clean, fruity rosé and the premium Kopár, 

a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. 

Visitors often prolong the Villány experience with the seasonal 

degustation menu on offer at Mandula restaurant, or a luxe 

night at Gere’s Crocus Resort & Wine Spa. gere.hu 

KREINBACHER 

Chances are that you will become acquainted with Kreinbacher’s 

sparkling wines before leaving Budapest; they grace many a 

restaurant and bar menu. Based in the Nagy-Somló wine region, 

Kreinbacher, founded in 2002, is also known for its beautiful 

white wines like Furmint and Hárslevelű. One incentive to go 

visit: the centerpiece of the organically cultivated estate is a 

modern-industrial tasting room. kreinbacher.hu 

KRISTINUS 

Everyone loves Lake Balaton in the summer, but the truth is 

it’s equally spectacular in the fall. One stop to consider: the 

Kristinus Estate, which produces a full line-up of wines, including 

Chardonnay, Irsai Olivér, and Furmint, as well as Merlot, Cabernet 

Franc, and Pinot Noir. If you’re looking for a place to sleep don’t 

overlook the modern, 10-room Vinotel, which also provides bus 

tours of the Southern Balaton region. kristinus.hu 

MÉSZÁROS 

One of Szekszárd’s bigger wineries, family-run Mészáros—if you 

go, don’t miss the striking cellar—offers a number of varieties, 

including a classic Kadarka and the Ohmerops reserve blend of 

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Hotel Merops 

comes to the rescue with Old World accommodations, but even 

for those who aren’t spending the night, a meal at the swank 

restaurant is the perfect wine-tasting break. meszarosborhaz.hu 

PANNONHALMI 

Benedictine monks founded the monastery of Pannonhalma in 

996, and so the wine-making tradition here in western Hungary 

stretches back centuries. Visiting the abbey is a perfect day trip, 

particularly when it’s followed up with a wine tasting. Try the 

Tricollis white and rosé varieties, the Pinot Noir, or the Merlot- 

Cabernet Franc blend, Hermina. apatsagipinceszet.hu 

SAUSKA 

Family-owned Sauska, going strong since Krisztián Sauska 

launched it in the late 1990s, has vineyards in both Villány and 

Tokaj. It is one of Hungary’s most celebrated wineries, known for 

both bright Furmint and daring red blends like the Cuvée 7 with 

Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. If you head 

out to Villány, do plan a meal at the winery’s on-site restaurant, 

which sources produce from its own garden. sauska.hu 


THE GUIDE 

TOP 

TIPS 

FRESH START 

Throughout Hungary’s wine regions there are a number of jubilant festivals celebrating the grape harvest this month. It’s 

also a great time to feast on the bounty of fresh, pre-autumn vegetables and fruits, and one of the best places to see what’s 

in season is at the Bio Piac in Buda’s District XII. Adjacent to the MOM Park shopping center, this organic market (open on Saturday) highlights 

local produce, juices, and bakery treats, as well as other made-in-Hungary specialties like jams, and even all-natural cosmetics, that 

you can tuck into your suitcase. 

Then, head to Czakó Kert & Piacz (the market is open Wednesday through Saturday) about a 15-minute walk away for more straight-from-thegarden 

goods and stands selling an intriguing assortment of meats, cheeses, and hot sauces. Once you’re done loading up your tote bag, 

savor the bistro’s cozy, rustic atmosphere by ordering a plate of Hungarian-style scrambled eggs spiked with paprika, or rye granola swirled 

with yogurt and cinnamon. The menu fittingly weaves in plenty of ingredients directly from its market’s farmers. Csörsz u. 18 and Czakó u. 15 


ENTERTAINMENT 

“The circus is the only 

fun you can buy that 

is good for you.” — 

Ernest Hemingway 

Budapest’s enchanted relationship with the 

circus traces back to 1889 and the debut of 

the Capital Circus of Budapest. Since 1971 

the historic company has found a home in City 

Park, where it continues to entertain as the city’s 

premier big top and hosts the Budapest Circus 

Festival every other year. 

Such a classical spectacle is not what Bence Vági 

desired when he founded Recirquel, his own 

version of a modern, electric circus in 2012. A 

director and choreographer, Vági first introduced 

Recirquel to Budapest audiences in the spring of 

2013 with the premiere of Night Circus and it was 

an immediate hit, attracting the support of the 

prestigious performing arts venue, Müpa Budapest. 

“I was originally trained as a dancer. While the circus 

has always been one of those ever present, but 

never consciously noted influences, with the 

creation of Recirquel this influence has emerged to 

the surface to become one with my contemporary 

and classical dance training,” says Vági 

Other enrapturing Recirquel productions followed, 

like The Naked Clown and Paris Nuit, the 

Brassaï-inspired deep dive into the seamy 1930s 

that resonates with cabaret lovers. Now, Recirquel 

returns to Müpa with My Land on September 13 

and 14 and Non Solus on September 15. My Land, 

featuring acrobats, made waves at the Edinburgh 

Festival Fringe last year, and expands on a style 

that Vági first started developing in 2015’s Non 

Solus, when he brought together the talents of a 

dancer and circus artist. 

“There is always something different and special I 

admire about the shows. In the case of My Land 

and Non Solus, though, there is something 

common: they represent the process leading to a 

new genre in performing arts, 'cirque danse,’” 

explains Vági. “It is the combination of circus arts 

and dance, classical and contemporary, to create a 

novel form of theater, a new way of expression for 

the storytellers of art. What I presently love the 

most about these two particular Recirquel pieces is 

the complexity of the performance the acrobats I 

work with are capable of, and I'm looking for the 

ways to develop it even further.” 

Deep into planning his next show, Vági is 

continuing to explore and refine cirque danse 

while never losing sight of the heritage that shapes 

his productions: “It has always been important for 

me to show the world the traditions of East 

European circus arts, but in a way that can attract 

the audience of our present day, that can 

communicate with the young generations.”

ART &MUSEUMS 

"What matters in life 

is not what happens 

to you, but what you 

remember and how 

you remember it.” — 

Gabriel García 

Márquez 

As they traveled through different cities, 

Tomas Opitz and Bea Puskás were 

captivated by the local photography 

scenes they encountered along the way. Opitz, 

who studied architecture in Venezuela, and Puskás, 

who has degrees in geology and cultural 

management, were particularly inspired by the 

works of Latin American photographers. Buoyed 

by these international experiences, they opened 

the petite TOBE Gallery in Budapest’s offbeat 

District VIII, now one of the city’s hubs for 

thought-provoking art, in 2013. 

“When we were wondering what to do together, 

we felt that in a country with such a rich 

photography legacy there was a shortage of 

galleries that focused solely on contemporary 

works from the genre. It was a missing segment.” 

explains Puskás. “We also wanted to bring new 

colors to Budapest. That’s why we started with 

Latin American artists. They have different visions 

and motivations.” 

Now working with 18 artists, 11 of them with Latin 

American roots, seven of them Hungarian, Opitz 

and Puskás are constantly on the move yet again, 

attending art fairs and festivals around Europe like 

MIA Photo Fair in Milan, Photo London, 

viennacontemporary, and the Rencontres d’Arles in 

France to reach potential buyers and collectors and 

“strengthen the presence of Hungarian art and 

photography,” points out Opitz. 

For the first half of 2019, Opitz and Puskás delved 

into the theme of memory, putting female artists 

including Barcelona-based Carla Tabora, Cristina 

Kahlo from Mexico City, and Budapest’s Anikó 

Robitz in the spotlight. Now, after a summer spent 

on Lake Balaton, where TOBE Gallery curated the 

exhibition Bodybuilding at the Pegazus gallery, 

the pair is back in Budapest to present the 

Scattered Cities exhibition this month (September 

3-10). It features the works of Rio de Janeiro 

photographer Bruno Veiga, who first started 

shooting in the 1980s for Brazilian newspapers. 

Later in the fall and winter, there will be exhibitions 

devoted to Hungarian, London-based Bálint 

Álovits and photo-collage creations by Gustavo 

Blanco-Uribe, a Venezuelan multi-disciplinary artist 

living in Madrid. 

TOBE Gallery has nurtured a burgeoning 

contemporary photography scene in Budapest, but 

it’s only the beginning for Opitz and Puskás. Says 

Opitz, “What we consider necessary is a closer 

relationship between galleries, between galleries 

and institutions, and between galleries, institutions, 

and collectors.” Bródy Sándor u. 36, tobegallery.hu

Visual Memory 

Roman Uranjek and Radenko Milak, artists of different generations, were both reared in the former Yugoslavia. 

Since 2014 the two have been collaborating on DATES, a meditative form of cultural and political activism that 

asks questions about science, art, and society. Ani Molnár Gallery presents their latest works in DATES 9. Uranjek’s 

collage of images culled from different periods of history stitches together a bold, surprising narrative and Milak 

explores 20th-century Hungary by transforming photojournalism images into monochrome watercolors. An 

interplay of past and present, these pieces suggest that the ideal of future progress is all too often trumped by the 

repetition of history. Through October 5; Bródy Sándor u. 36, molnaranigaleria.hu

“I can’t think without 

my glasses.” — 

Vivienne Westwood 

Upon entering the Tipton Eyeworks 

showroom in District V, the first 

thing one notices is the 

assortment of good-looking glasses on 

display. Largely in black and flaunting a 

contemporary style, they are arranged 

reverently and elegantly, as if they were in a 

gallery. There is an impressive stash of 

vinyl that also grabs attention, and 

throughout the day different albums 

make their way onto the record player, 

Madonna, say, followed by Louis 

Armstrong. Showcasing these objects 

alongside each other is not 

coincidental. 

Upscale yet quirky, Tipton Eyeworks, 

which features an assembly workshop in 

back, is the brainchild of Zachary Tipton. Born in 

Idaho to a Hungarian mother, Tipton grew up in 

the States, Socialist-era Hungary, and other 

locations in between. 

In the 1990s, when he was living in Seattle, his 

vision started to suffer. With a knack for carpentry 

(“I made my own guitars,” Tipton recalls), the 

ambitious Tipton set out to craft his own 

pair of eyeglasses, tinkering 

unsuccessfully with various 

plastics. When he observed 

his father’s stack of old 

records in the garage, the 

idea for Vinylize was 

sparked and he began 

transforming vinyl into 

frames with the help of 

cigar box hinges. 

Although he had been 

embracing vinyl since 1998, it 

wasn’t until 2004 that Tipton 

officially launched his prescriptionready 

eyewear collection in Budapest, 

producing them in a one-time Communist 

eyeglass factory he apprenticed at for three years 

with vinyl sourced from Europe’s last pressing plant. 

Over the last 15 years, Vinylize’s presence has grown 

significantly in Budapest and beyond, with celebrities 

like Robbie Williams and Questlove clamoring for the 

frames. Musicians in particular seem to gravitate 

towards Vinylize. At the Sziget festival, for example, 

which takes place on a Budapest island every August, 

bespoke glasses are made for the headliners from 

the musicians’ own records. Likewise, through a 

licensing deal with AC/DC, polarized sunglasses are 

spawned from the Australian rock band’s 12” vinyl 

Back in Black album. 

Tipton’s experimental nature has led him to make 

glasses with the likes of recycled film strips (a pair 

was ordered for Elton John’s birthday) and dyed 

vinyl, but other than the abundance of custom 

orders, he’s devoted solely to the classic Vinylize 

collection now. “I want to focus on one brand with 

one purpose,” he says. Irányi u. 20; tiptonbudapest.

WELLNESS 

“Your mind will 

answer most 

questions if you learn 

to relax and wait for 

the answer." — 

William Burroughs 

Plotting an obligatory afternoon at one of 

Budapest’s famous (albeit crowded) thermal 

baths is one way to weave a bit of relaxation 

into your itinerary, but if it’s a more hushed and 

intimate experience you crave, then book a few 

luxurious hours at the Mystery Hotel Budapest’s 

Secret Garden Day Spa. Like the spa at the Four 

Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest and 

Harmony Spa at the Aria Hotel Budapest by Library 

Hotel Collection, popular with both visitors and 

locals, this hideaway is fast making its mark on the 

city’s wellness scene. 

In District VI, the Mystery Hotel Budapest is a 

one-time palace built in the 19th century by the 

Hungarian Freemasons. With guest rooms that 

reference different types of Greek columns, and are 

dressed in either Doric, Ionian, or Corinthian style, 

the hotel has an Old World, magical vibe that is 

inspired by mystic books and films. The spa, 

situated on the hotel’s ground level, is no 

exception; its backdrop is a stunning indoor 

Baroque garden crowned with a glass roof. 

Settle in at reception, where the walls are covered 

in uplifting tropical paper and a dramatic 

chandelier hangs over the front desk, and grab a 

glass of lemon-scented water. Sit down in the 

wellness area and between the intricate tile work, 

the plentiful palm trees, and the sound of the 

fountain’s rushing water, immediately you will 

feel at peace. 

Do break the trance, 

though, by grabbing a 

fluffy golden yellow 

towel and venturing 

into the steam room, 

Jacuzzi, and Finnish 

sauna. They pave the 

way to one of the spa 

treatments, which 

include hard-to-resist 

90-minute 

aromatherapy 

massages. 

Facials and body rituals, 

including the 

Hypnotique deepmeditation 

iteration, 

incorporate all-natural products from Hungarian 

skincare guru Adrienne Feller that are also available 

for purchase here. On your way out, contemplate 

between splurging on her Rose de Luxe eye cream 

or Hungarian Spring scrub. 

Afterwards, soak up the Mystery Hotel’s enigmatic 

ambience for a tad longer by heading upstairs to 

the Great Hall and ordering a plate of smoked 

salmon cannelloni with vodka-ricotta espuma. 

Hungarian wine, citrus-scented olives, and 

remarkable city views at the Sky Garden, the 

rooftop terrace, are the perfect send-off.

DINING 

“A party without cake 

is just a meeting.” — 

Julia Child 

No matter what day you walk into 

Plantmilkyway, the small bakery close to 

Central Market, you will likely be greeted 

by Kitti Sőtér, the energetic, young owner who is 

always keen to spark a friendly chat. 

For Sőtér, who embraces a plant-based diet, 

opening Plantmilkyway was an extension of 

her lifestyle. “Besides not eating meat or animal 

products, it’s also really important to me to 

reduce the trash that I produce in the shop and 

my life in general,” she says. Plantmilkyway 

“shows people that vegan and gluten-free 

desserts can be beautiful and tasty.” 

Indeed, they are both. Behind glass, Sőtér’s 

creations are artistic and elegant. There is an 

ethereal blueberry and blackberry mousse, a 

brownie with immaculate square grooves 

reminiscent of a waffle paired with blackcurrant 

jelly and hazelnut cream, and one that unites 

peanut cream and chocolate ganache atop a 

chocolate biscuit. All are sweetened with dates, 

coconut sugar, or agave or maple syrup. 

“For me, baking is an artistic expression. French 

pastries are rich in small details and have 

different textures and forms. I love to use 

special spices and combine flavors to create 

mouthwatering desserts,” Sőtér explains. “I 

think each type of cake has a different 

personality.” 

Prior to Plantmilkyway, Sőtér worked in other 

kitchens, at cafés and big hotels alike. While 

studying at university, she worked part-time in 

a coffee shop as a pastry chef, where she 

confirmed that baking was her passion. All 

office jobs in between were marred by the 

realization that she didn’t feel “the enjoyment, 

the creativity, or the buzz I have when I start to 

make sweets.” 

In the mornings, customers love beginning 

their day at Plantmilkyway with avocado toast 

and a matcha latte—with organic plant milk, of 

course. As the day progresses, they seek out 

the bright raspberry mousse-sponge cake, or 

the tiramisu. The most popular of the desserts, 

Sőtér makes it with an almond-cocoa base and 

coffee cream. 

Sőtér also whips up numerous custom cake 

orders, and shares recipes for the likes of 

lavender-lemon cookies, chocolate pudding, 

and basil panna cotta with strawberry dressing 

on her website. Give it a read. Csarnok tér 6,

nights. Begin with steak tartare, goose liver paté, or creamy 

mushroom soup, then pile your plate high with Hungarian 

specialties like chicken-stuffed Hortobágyi pancakes, catfish 

paprikas, and spicy pork medallions, or Burgundy-style venison 

steak. Of course there are plenty of desserts to choose from, too, 

including the Hungarian favorites somlói (sponge cake and 

chocolate) and poppy seed bread pudding. Beverages are also an 

alluring element of the fixed-price menu, so enjoy the night sipping 

Hungarian Törley bubbly followed by Hilltop white or red wine.

FRANKÓ KITCHEN 

An inviting bistro-style neighborhood restaurant, Frankó Kitchen 

is set in Buda’s residential District II. The constantly-changing 

menu, embracing Hungarian ingredients, incorporates global 

flavors and modern techniques. One day you’ll find Hungarian 

potato soup with poached egg and sausage as a starter and beef 

cheeks with tarragon and mashed root vegetables as an entrée. 

On another, you can contemplate springing for the polenta cream 

with vegetables and Camembert or kohlrabi spaghetti with black 

mussels and tomato, all washed down by wines from small 

Hungarian producers. Desserts, like chocolate mousse melded 

with blackberry, and French toast paired with an apple ragout, 

are just as lovely.

Locals love Budapest’s street food, whether it’s a carrot burger from Las 

Vegans, fried cheese at Paneer, or a classic lángos made at Retro Büfé. 

They are revved then for Food Truck Show Hungary, which roves around 

the country from April through September organizing pop-ups in 

different cities. On September 6-8 it’s Budapest’s turn for the second 

time this year, attracting crowds to Kincsem Park in District X. It’s worth 

the out-of-the-city center detour, though, because the park will be 

jammed with numerous colorful trucks dishing out the likes of burgers, 

bao, and Cubano sandwiches, with plenty of wine, beer, and pálinka to 

go around. This chilled-out party is also a sustainable-minded one: all the 

vendors will be serving their food with eco-friendly packaging and

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Budapest has an extensive 

public transportation system with buses, 

trams, trolleys, four metro lines, a cogwheel train, 

funicular, suburban railway lines and boats covering 

the city. Most lines operate daily from 4am to 

about midnight, trams 4 and 6 operate all night 

as do several night buses. Tickets are available at 

ticket machines at all metro stops and traffic hubs. 

Unless you buy a pass, single tickets are valid 

for a single ride, not a time period – if you know 

you’ll take several rides, your best option is to get 

a 24-hour or 72-hour pass, valid on all modes of 

transport. You need to validate your tickets when 

you enter a metro station, or on overground 

vehicles in orange validators. Ticket inspection is 

carried out by personal staff wearing armbands 

or badges. Fines can be paid on the spot or alternatively 

at the Public Transport Office, check their 

official website for details: www.bkk.hu/en 

GETTING AROUND 

TRAIN STATIONS The four main train stations 

(“pályaudvar”) are Nyugati (western, Map E5); 

Keleti (eastern, Map D8); Déli (southern, Map D2), 

and Kelenföldi (Off Map). All are accessible by 

metro, and the first three stations have booths for 

international tickets where you can by your ticket 

in person. 

TAXIS Budapest has a regulated taxi network: 

licensed taxis are yellow and work with standard 

prices. Estonian taxify is also available, and operates 

at the standardized rate: meters start from 

700 HUF (~2 EUR) and the price is 300 HUF (~1 

EUR) per kilometer. 

BICYCLE RENTALS Budapest lends itself to cycling 

with the flatness of Pest and slightly hilly but 

picturesque Buda. Tens of thousands of locals 

commute every day on two wheels, due to which, 

and the consistent efforts of Hungarian Cyclists’ 

Club, the infrastructure has improved a lot in 

recent years. Editor’s choice: RideKálmán bikeshop 

right next to iconic ruinbar Szimpla offers excellent 

service for renting and servicing bikes. Their 

motto: ”Life is too short to ride a shit bike 

PUBLIC: The unmissable green bikes (BUBI) provided 

by MOL belong to the city’s public transport 

system: you need to register and purchase tickets 

at the public transport company BKK. The first half 

hour is for free, but make sure you are conscious 

of the clock, as long rides may run the bill high.

BOAT SERVICES Budapest has several boat lines 

within the public transport system, not the fastest 

but maybe the cutest way of getting about. The 

main ports are at Batthány tér (Map E4) Akadémia 

(D4) and Vigadó (Map C5). The time schedule 

subject to change depending on weather and 

water level conditions. See the official webpage 

for information, www.bkk.hu. 

AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION Liszt Ferenc Airport 

has two international terminals: 2A and 2B. 

See www.bud.hu/english for complete airport 

information. 

PUBLIC: Bus 100E gives you a straight ride downtown, 

for a fee double the price of single tickets. 

Bus 200E takes you to the end of metro line 3 for 

a normal price. It’s a good idea to have HUF in 

cash, as the queuing can get chaotic, and ticket 

vending machines clogged up. 

TAXI: Főtaxi is the authorised company to serve 

the airport from kerbisde pick-ups. Rates to 

dwontown locations come usually come to 

8-9000 HUF (25-30 EUR). 

SHUTTLE: miniBUD offers door-to transfer, you 

can order online. The bigger your group the 

lower the price, so it’s worth ordering together. 

A trip downtown for one person costs about 17 

EUR one way. Order at: www.minibud.hu/en, +36

MEET 

A LOCAL 

Every issue we chat with a different Budapest 

insider. This month it’s Dániel Német, an economist 

and environmental engineer who, as the cofounder 

of Night Mayor Budapest, is an advocate 

for sustainable, quality nightlife. 

Tell us about your interesting position as Budapest’s night ambassador. 

It’s essentially understanding how Budapest, its night-time economy, and culture work 

after the sun has set, to gather relevant insights in order to assist decision makers, 

entrepreneurs, and researchers. We’ve been building a network of nightlife doers and 

influencers in the past two years to improve the quality of nightlife both by educating 

consumers and producers. I also represent Budapest at European conferences, events, 

and in nightlife advocacy networks. 

What do you think makes Budapest's nightlife scene so compelling? 

Budapest nightlife is small but sexy as it caters to everyone. From jazz to techno, from 

board games to bath culture, from Michelin-starred restaurants to new-age street food, 

the city literally packs everything into a small central area, which can be done entirely 

on foot if someone visits the city for a couple of days. Summertime almost drags out all 

year long now, and we have an endless stream of festivals, from large ones like Sziget, 

to small but high-end ones like Kolorado, but also subcultural and boutique ones, 

which are just pearls to discover if you are into that. The city is also doing extremely 

well the past few years in fashion and design, classical music, and contemporary highculture 

performances. 

If you have an out-of-town guest, is there one bar that you would 

absolutely take them to? 

We have been working a lot with the Night Embassy of Budapest and we collected 60 

must-see spots of the city that we honestly believe make Budapest what it is today. 

Some of the bars include Telep-Art Galéria, Bar Pharma, and Pontoon. My personal 

recommendation is Ambient Bar, a small, cozy club that plays electronic music. 

How do you spend your days off in Budapest? 

I’m never bored. I try to go to as many interesting and edgy cultural events as I can, 

but I also enjoy a weekend outside in nature, away from the never sleeping city lights.

report the incident to the nearest police station 

as soon as possible, or go directly to the nearest

or „Nemzeti Dohánybolt” are authorised to sell tobacco 

products. Look out for a design combining 

brown with the national colors. Smoking is not 

allowed in bars and restaurants except for designated 

areas. Purchasing alcohol varies according 

to district, but most shops will sell the full array 

of alcoholic products until closing time. Officially

WHERE IT’S AT I BUDAPEST 

GREAT SYNAGOGUE 

Europe’s largest temple (it can fit some 3,000 

people) the Dohány Street Synagogue was 

built in the 1850s, showcasing a fusion of 

Moorish and Byzantine styles through such 

features as its onion-shaped domes. Inside, 

this Neolog house of worship is graced with 

such elements as a stained-glass rose window 

and an organ played by Franz Liszt. Holocaust 

memorials in the courtyard and the Hungarian 

Jewish Museum in another wing ensure that all 

visits are poignant ones. Dohány u. 2 

CHAIN BRIDGE 

It took nearly a decade for English architect 

William Tierney Clark and Scottish engineer 

Adam Clark to finish building the Széchenyi 

Chain Bridge in 1849, the first permanent link 

between Buda and Pest over the Danube. One 

of the world’s longest bridges at the time was 

rebuilt post-World War II today it remains a 

Budapest icon. Take a gander at night when 

it’s illuminated and the two towers reveal a 

particularly fairy-tale allure. 

PARLIAMENT 

There are almost 700 rooms inside the 

Parliament, home to Hungary’s National 

Assembly. Revel in this neo-gothic beauty 

completed in 1902 for the Austro-Hungarian 

Empire by architect Imre Steindl (the most 

expensive building ever constructed in 

Hungary) and take a tour, where you’ll see such 

highlights as St. Stephen’s crown. Frescoes, 

stained-glass windows, granite columns, and 

gold leaf galore make this one of Budapest’s 

most splendid landmarks. Kossuth Lajos tér 1-3 

FUNICULAR 

You could climb your way up to Buda Castle, 

but the more scenic (and tamer) alternative 

is to ride the Budapest Castle Hill Funicular 

(Budavári Sikló) at Clark Ádám Square. 

Launched in 1870, this historic funicular railway 

was only the second of its kind in Europe, after 

Lyon. It shuttered in the wake of the Second 

World War, but the Funicular re-opened in 1986 

with copper-adorned brown cars that have a 

whimsical, Old World feel to them. 

VIGADÓ CONCERT HALL 

Designed by Frigyes Feszl and opened in 1864, 

the Vigadó was a striking replacement for the 

neoclassical Redoute, which was destroyed 

by invading Austrian troops 25 years prior. 

The concert hall, located along the bank of 

the Danube, is adorned with gorgeous pillar 

statues and frescoes. Drop by for a glance at 

the monument’s architecture, or stick around 

for an English-led guided tour, followed by one 

of the numerous performances that span the 

National Youth Choir of Hungary and a jazzy 

swing concert. Vigadó tér 2 

ZWACK UNICUM MUSEUM 

Luckily, you likely won’t leave Budapest without 

having sipped your fair share of Unicum, the 

country’s beloved national liqueur. No matter 

the type of bar, the round, cross-emblazoned 

bottle’s presence is ubiquitous. Spun from 

a top-secret mix of herbs and botanicals, 

Unicum is a complex and heady digestif. 

At this small museum in District IX, learn 

about its late 18th-century royal roots 

and hear riveting war-era tales. Tours 

also include a wander through the 

distillery, best capped off with stops 

in the tasting room and shop.
