LoveBug Vintage – Vintage Shop https://www.fannypacktravel.com/destinations/lovebug-vintage-vintage-shop/ Fri, 08 Apr 2016 05:15:20 +0000 http://www.fannypacktravel.com/?p=1586 -shopping

Mostly vintage with some handmade goods thrown in as well, Violetta runs her shop out of an old apartment that used to be her mother’s art, studio giving it a unique feel. It can be easy to miss since you have to enter the apartment complex through a large door that accesses many more doors to other apartments. There are small signs that say LoveBug Vintage but you have to be looking.

Instant – Ruin Pub https://www.fannypacktravel.com/destinations/instant-ruin-pub/ Thu, 07 Apr 2016 16:11:54 +0000 http://www.fannypacktravel.com/?p=1584 -drinks -dancing/live music

With 26 rooms, 7 bars, 4 dedicated dance floors, 7 stages, 2 outdoor gardens, and no cover charge (ever), Instant is Budapest’s largest Ruin Pub and the place to go any night of the week for live music. Dance underneath statues of rabbits and ghoulish animals hanging from the ceiling or sit at a table and chat with the locals and tourists in one of the gardens. The drinks are slightly more expensive than Szimpla but they make up for it by having live hip-hop, American rock, Hungarian DJs, and more in a single night. Only a few blocks from Szimpla, you can easily go to both in one night.

Adorable and one of a kind, Viola and her mother take great pride in their beautifully curated shop. They have clothing and antiques going back to the 1800s, including functional art deco watches. I came for a quick interview and ended up staying for 4 hours talking with Viola about social justice issues all over the world. You don’t want to leave Budapest without stopping first here. When you are finished shopping head across the street to Cafe Toldi for some underground electronic music, a film, or a dance party.

Very delicious goulash and fun music. A little on the pricy side, but not by much. Hot alcoholic beverages and coffees in addition of a small selection of non-alcoholic cocktails including “safe sex on the beach.” List of allergens in four languages with pictures in the back of menu.

This place is very to miss. The only way to really find it is to look at the map and when you get close, ask someone. Super cute and funky, lots of secret rooms that you have to crawl or climb a rope ladder to find. Shoes not allowed in the pillow rooms. Beautiful and relaxing. Not Wheelchair accessible.

Hip, calm cafe and movie theater that turns into a great dance club at night ($4 for movies, $1-3 cover for large parties). Not the friendliest staff but they do all speak English. Pretty quick turnover with tables and absolutely queer friendly. They hosted the most diverse ‘lesbian party’ I have ever been to and have something going on almost every night from concerts to live DJs.

Szimpla Kert – Ruin Bar https://www.fannypacktravel.com/destinations/szimpla-kert-ruin-bar/ Thu, 07 Apr 2016 09:21:23 +0000 http://www.fannypacktravel.com/?p=1538 -public transit-dancing/live music

With over 13 rooms, live music every night, movie showings, delicious food, hookah, cheap drinks, and never a cover, the first ruin pub (a bar/pub/club in a formerly abandoned building) is not a place to miss. You will find both tourists and locals every night of the week and the place is packed on weekends. Get lost in the building or grab a map (yes, a map) of the building as you come in the front door. Of the three we suggest, this is the most low key. For more of a club scene head to Fogashàz. If you’re looking for great live music of all sorts head to Instant. These are all located in the Jewish District and easily walkable. When you’re done for the night, take the 4-6 Tram that runs all night, back home.

Széchenyi Gyógyf – Thermal Bath https://www.fannypacktravel.com/destinations/szechenyi-gyogyf-thermal-bath/ Thu, 07 Apr 2016 03:46:41 +0000 http://www.fannypacktravel.com/?p=1528 -public transit

Play chess while soaking in one of the indoor/outdoor 15 spring-fed thermal pools or go for a swim in one of the 3 swimming pools in the largest medicinal bath in Budapest (one of the largest in all of Europe). Built in 1913, Széchenyi was the first bath in Pest and is arguably the most decadent. Soaks in the baths are considered medical treatment and are often prescribed by doctors giving patients a reduced price. Located in City Park, walk outside the bath and grab some mulled wine and grilled corn on your way to the largest outdoor ice skating rink in Europe, hop on the 1st subway system in Europe (line 1, yellow) or take a stroll down Andrássy Utça.
1146 Budapest, Állatkerti körút 9-11
