About Budapest

Budapest is two cities in one — Buda on the hills and Pest on the plains, connected by bridges across the Danube. The ruin bars of the Jewish Quarter made Budapest famous with backpackers, but the city has evolved far beyond that. Thermal baths, Art Nouveau architecture, a booming food scene, and some of the best nightlife in Europe. A Local Friend in Budapest shows you which thermal bath to visit on which day (Gellért for the architecture, Széchenyi for the experience, Rudas for the locals), the wine bars in the 5th district, and the kert (garden bar) that just opened in an abandoned building.
