The best Budapest night tours & experiences with locals

With its Baroque buildings and breathtaking boulevards that have earned it the nickname “the Paris of the East”, Budapest is beauty personified. It’s impossible to imagine that a city so striking by day could be as impressive by night – but Budapest only really starts showing off when the sun goes down and its world-famous nightlife hubs take center stage. A Budapest night tour with City Unscripted is the perfect way to skip the tourist traps and get right into the good stuff. You could spend your night ticking off the top 10 sights in your guidebook – or, with a local guide by your side, you could experience the Budapest nightlife scene exactly as the locals do!

Meet some of our Budapest local hosts

Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

When the tourist traps empty out and the locals take back their city, Budapest really comes alive. On a Budapest night tour, you’ll be able to indulge in all the secret pastimes of the people who call the city home – and feel the true spirit of the city in the process. With a local guide by your side, you’ll discover the best things to do in Budapest at night that aren’t necessarily in your guidebook. Just pack your stamina and spend an unforgettable evening on a Budapest night tour exploring the hole-in-the-wall haunts and hidden gems where locals gather after hours.

It’s no small feat, but the Budapest nightlife scene is known for being one of the best in all of Europe. With everything from tiny taverns and ramshackle ruin bars to sleek, sophisticated nightclubs, all revelers are equally rewarded on Budapest night tour. Maybe you’ll sip a drink at a rooftop bar high up in one of the city’s Art Nouveau masterpieces, dance the night away at a speaker-shaking nightclub, or perhaps you’re simply content to take a moonlit stroll, stopping for a pastry at a coffee house that only closes at midnight. Whatever your style, a Budapest night tour does the job.

It’s impossible to talk about Budapest nightlife without bringing up Szimpla Kert, Hungary’s iconic nightlife spot housed in an old stove factory. Today, the party scene in the Hungarian capital is known for ruin bars just like Szimpla – nightclubs and drinking holes set up in dilapidated buildings. The eerily apocalyptic atmosphere of socialist-era decor makes for a night out that’s more than memorable. A Budapest night tour with us is the perfect time to explore the best of the city’s ruin bars, scoping out the bric-à-brac and sipping a cocktail at a mismatched table and chair.

Latest reviews from our guests

Very nice tour and he took us to a fantastic strudel shop!

Richard was flexible, informative, and entertaining as he lead eight of us on a 4 hour private tour. We had proposed an ambitious tour through the Jewish Quarters to City Park and back. However, as we approached City Park and began to flag, he adjusted our plan so that instead of walking back to the hotel we took the underground, which he had told use we should experience, back to city center and closer to our Hotel. Our party peppered Richard with questions and discussions about how Budapest compared to other cities, the origins of the Hungarian language and the Ottoman influences on Budapest. As a history teacher Richard kept the conversation going with interesting insights. We had a physicist amongst use who was ecstatic to hear that Edward Teller went to High School nearby and oohed and awed over the plague on the school listing other Noble laureate scientists who attended the school. Richard knew all the names and the history of the school and scientists. As usual with Viator, arranging the tour, communicating with Richard before hand to customize the tour and meeting up with and being dropped off at the hotel went smoothly and easily.

September 2023

Richard took us around town as though we were visiting family. He made the history, [people and life of Hungry and Budapest come alive. He was patient with all our questions and genuinely interested in what we wished to learn rather than follow a scripted tour- can see why it is city 'unscripted'. Richard- thank you! You were amazing. Our 13 and 15 year old loved this as well and were touched by your stories and history. We certainly got to feel and experience the heart beat of this amazing city. THANK YOU!

Katherine B

What a spectacular way to experience Budapest! Richard was so knowledgable and he was so patient with all our questions. He navigated the tour on what we were interested in and what we were asking questions about. He was interested n what we wanted to learn about the city rather than just giving us a spell. He chatted to us about life, history and behind the scenes peaks of this amazing country of Hungry and city of Budapest. he made it all come alive, its people and culture so we felt a part of it. It was like being shown around town by your older brothers best friend. THANK YOU RICHARD! We had truely an amazing day!

Summary & Comparison — Top 6 Walking Tours in Budapest

Reviews calculation: I am using the total review count of the activity from GetYourGuide, Tripadvisor, Guruwalk and Viator.

1. Night Vampire Walking Tour in Buda Castle District

💡 Note: This review is based on my experience during the 8:00 pm English-language tour, led by Joe as our guide.

Immerse yourself in the mysteries of the night with Budapest's one-of-a-kind walking tour , centered around undead folklore and haunting tales of the Hungary and Eastern Europe.

This isn't your average historical walking tour; prepare for spine-tingling stories that delve deep into Eastern European myths about vampires, ghosts, and the undead .

Highlights of the Tour

I can attest that this tour is not just another walking tour in Budapest—it's an immersive storytelling experience . Our guide, Joe, with his 20 years of improv acting experience, brings depth, humor, and a dramatic twist to Eastern European myths.

His spellbinding narrative skills are complemented by the ethereal beauty of the Castle District at night , a setting that enriches the storytelling and makes the tour truly unforgettable.

Starting Point and Accessibility

The journey begins at Clark Ádám Square , located at the base of Buda Hill. From here, you'll embark on a 5-10 minute ascent up the hill's stairs. For those with mobility issues, a funicular option is available to take you to the top for an extra 10€ fee.

The group size struck a perfect balance, numbering between 20 and 25 participants . This made it easy to connect with other tour participants without complicating the practical aspects of the tour, such as walking and finding a good listening spot around our guide.

Points of Critique

While Joe is an engaging orator, I found the latter half of the tour to lose a bit of its initial spark. After hearing 5-6 out of the total ten tales, the storytelling began to feel a bit repetitive .

Coupled with the late evening timing, the group's energy waned toward the end. Still, Joe’s dynamism keeps the atmosphere electric for most of the tour.

Should You Go?

If you're less concerned with historical facts and more interested in the dark and mysterious folklore of Budapest and Eastern Europe, this tour is a must-try. It's a thrilling way to explore the Castle District under the cloak of night.

2. Buda Castle Cave Labyrinth Walking Tour

💡 Note: This review is based on my personal experience of a 1.5-hour English cave tour.

Discover the hidden depths of Budapest in the extensive cave system beneath the city's Castle District.

Known as Budavári barlang, this section was reopened to the public in 2019 after being off-limits for years.

The tour focuses on a fascinating 3km stretch of caves and takes you on a journey through time, exploring the geological and human history of these mysterious underground tunnels.

What sets this tour apart is its dedication to historical accuracy .

You'll learn about how these caves formed over millions of years — you'll even get to see where a mammoth left one of its teeth!

Beyond the geology, the tour dives into the 800-year history of human usage of the caves, from medieval storage and tax evasion to their roles as prisons, war refuges, criminal hideouts, and even locations for clandestine parties in the 90s.

The temperature inside the cave averages 10-12°C , so it's advisable to wear warm clothing and comfortable footwear you don't mind getting dirty.

However, for those visiting in summer attire, free ponchos are provided to keep you warm.

The meeting spot is at Trinity Square , right by the Trinity statue. A quick 5-minute walk will take you to the cave's entrance.

Unfortunately, the cave is not accessible to individuals with mobility impairments.

With an group size of 20-25 participants , the tour struck a perfect balance — facilitating smooth navigation through the maze-like caves while also enabling captivating, interactive storytelling.

In all honesty, there were few drawbacks to this unique journey, if any.

The tour company goes to great lengths to ensure everyone's comfort, and the expert guides make the experience engaging and educational.

If history blended with a touch of geology intrigues you, this is your tour.

Absolutely, yes!

This tour is an excellent choice for those who are looking for something more niche and offbeat than your run-of-the-mill walking tour. It's an experience that leaves you both educated and intrigued.

3. Best Jewish Quarter Walking Tour

💡 Note: This review is based on my personal experience of a 2.5-hour English walking tour.

Immerse yourself in the rich Jewish heritage of Budapest on this enlightening tour.

The excursion not only offers a deep dive into the harrowing years of World War II but also presents a comprehensive history of Jewish life in Hungary dating back to medieval times.

As a Hungarian who supposedly knows this country, I still learned a lot of intriguing historical facts.

For history aficionados seeking more than just surface-level information, this tour is a goldmine.

The guide provides rigorous academic-level commentary , requiring a high level of English proficiency (unless you take the Spanish tour of course).

Notable landmarks include synagogues and poignant memorials dedicated to heroes who resisted Nazi and Arrow Cross Party oppression.

The tour kicks off at Imre Madách Square and concludes at Dohány Street Synagogue. The entire tour is outdoors and wheelchair-accessible, and it takes place in the Jewish Quarter (VII. District).

The tour was structured well to accommodate a medium-sized group (20-30 people), ensuring everyone could hear the guide clearly and see the landmarks.

Though the tour was generally excellent, the guide could have introduced himself more formally (as he just went straight into the material) and allowed pauses for absorption between his in-depth explanations (as his speech felt like speed-reading at times).

I highly recommend for history enthusiasts who appreciate a nuanced, detailed exploration of Jewish history in Budapest.

• ♿ Accessibility: Fully accessible for those with reduced mobility
• 🗺️ Tour Area: Jewish Quarter (VII. District)
• 📍 Starting Point: Madách Imre tér (Imre Madách Square)
• 🏁 End Point: Dohány utcai Zsingagóga (Dohány Street Synagogue)
• 🏰 Landmarks Visited: Sissi Statue, Rumbach Street Synagogue, Dohány Street Synagogue, Gozsdu Court, House of Theodore Herzl, Courtyard of Heroes, Carl Lutz Memorial, Angel of Budapest, Tree of Life, and an exterior visit to Kiraly Street & Ghetto Wall (Note: The tour only passes by these landmarks; there's no entry into the buildings)

🗺️ Meeting Point: Budapest, Madách Imre út 2, 1075 Hungary. Look for the yellow umbrella next to the Sissi statue. 🚌 Public Transport: Easily accessible from anywhere in the city by taking any metro line or trams 47/49 to Deak Ference square then walking to the Sissi statue. 🚶‍♂️ On Foot: The central areas of Budapest are highly walkable. You can comfortably reach our meeting spot with a 15-20 minute stroll from most central locations.

4. Best Budapest Inner City Walking Tour

💡 Note: This review is based on my personal experience of a 2.25-hour English walking tour.

This walking tour is a perfect way to get an overview of Budapest's history , taking place in the inner district of Pest.

You'll gain insights into our past, including the troubled times during the Soviet era , the period after the fall of the Berlin Wall which we call "The System Change," and even contemporary history and controversies.

For first-time visitors seeking a comprehensive introduction to Budapest's rich history, this tour is an ideal choice. The tour offers not just historical accuracy but also local insights, thanks to our Hungarian guide.

The meeting location is at Kossuth Square by the Hungarian Parliament. More precisely, it’s near the M2 metro and/or tram station . The tour is wheelchair-friendly and welcomes those with mobility challenges. The tour concludes at Vigadó Square.

We were among about 30 participants . Despite being a larger group, it didn’t take away from the enjoyment or educational value of the tour. I even struck up some pleasant conversations with fellow tour mates.

The only minor issue was that the tour guide was not a native English speaker . However, her genuine local Hungarian perspective more than made up for this.

You know the answer already — yes! Especially if you're a first-time visitor wanting a rich, historical overview of Budapest, you'll find this tour worthwhile.

• 🕒 Duration: 2.25 hours
• 🇬🇧 English: Typically at 10:00 am
• 🇪🇸 Spanish: Typically at 10:00 am,11:30 am and 5:00 pm
• 👨‍👩‍👦 Family-Friendly: Yes, offers a well-rounded historical overview suitable for all ages
• 🗺️ Tour Area: Delving into the heart of Pest (V. District)
• 📍 Starting Point: Hungarian Parliament (Hungarian Parliament)
• 🏁 End Point: Vigadó tér (Vigadó Square)
• 🏰 Landmarks Visited: The tour starts at the Hungarian Parliament and takes you through an exploration of the Communist era and the 1956 revolution, Liberty Square, the Monument to Soviet Heroes, the Monument to the Victims of the German Invasion, the Chain Bridge, the Danube Riverbank with views of Buda’s city panorama, St. Stephen's Basilica, Queen Sisi Square, Vorosmarty Square, and concludes at Vigadó Square (Note: The tour only passes by these landmarks; there's no entry into the buildings)

🗺️ Meeting Point: Gather at Kossuth Lajos square , between right next to the tram stop. Look for an orange umbrella. 🚌 Public Transport: Take metro or tram line 2 and take a brief walk to the meeting point. 🚶‍♂️ On Foot: The central areas of Budapest are highly walkable. You can comfortably reach our meeting spot with a 15-20 minute stroll from most central locations.

5. Best Buda Castle District Walking Tour

💡 Note: This review is based on my personal experience of a 2-hour English walking tour.

Discover the architectural and historical gems in Budapest's Castle District with this straightforward yet thoroughly engaging walking tour. This tour offers a factual and no-nonsense overview of the district's landmarks, perfect for those wanting a solid introduction to Hungary's storied past.

The tour offers an enriching walk through the charming cobblestone streets of the Castle District, covering major landmarks like the Royal Palace ("Buda Castle"), Matthias Church, and Fisherman's Bastion.

What stands out is the tour's commitment to factual storytelling, devoid of the supernatural or fantastical elements you might find on other tours.

The tour kicks off at Trinity Square , right in front of the iconic Trinity Statue. Plus, the entire tour is wheelchair accessible, making it convenient for everyone

With a group of roughly 25 people, it was easy to move around and the tour never felt overcrowded.

The tour delivers what it promises: a comprehensive, factual overview. However, prepare yourself for the elements—like heat, if you happen to visit during a hot spell like I did. 😅

Certainly. If you're looking for a straightforward, facts-based exploration of Budapest's Castle District, this tour fits the bill.

• 💵 Cost: 10€
• 🇬🇧 English: Starts at 2:00 pm and 2:30 pm
• 🇮🇹 Italian: Starts at 10:00 am (Weekends only)
• 🇫🇷 French: Available for private group tours only
• 🇩🇪 German: Available for private group tours only
• 🏁 End Point: Szentháromság tér (Trinity Square)
• 🏰 Landmarks Visited: Royal Palace ("Buda Castle"), Matthias Church, Fisherman's Bastion, and everything in between (Note: The tour only passes by these landmarks; there's no entry into the buildings)

6. Grand City Tour of Budapest

💡 Note: This review is based on my personal experience of a 3-hour English walking tour.

Embark on a comprehensive 3-hour tour of Budapest, encapsulating both the Pest and Buda sides of the iconic city.

With a blend of air-conditioned bus rides and leisurely walking, you'll have the chance to witness major landmarks, from Heroes' Square to the Castle District while learning of their history.

Though it provides a sweeping view, be prepared for a surface-level overview that touches upon, but does not delve deeply into, each individual area.

The tour gave me a bird's eye view of Budapest . It kicked off with a brief but informative stop at Heroes' Square and proceeded to drive past local landmarks like the Opera House, Városliget and Keleti Railway Station.

What sets this tour apart is its unique approach to ascending the Castle Hill — coming up from the side opposite the Danube, a welcome change from typical tours.

The journey begins at Clark Ádám Square , located at the base of Buda Hill. From here, you'll embark on a 5-10 minute ascent up the hill's stairs. A word of caution: the tour is not suitable for mobility-impaired individuals.

The tour was structured well to accommodate a medium-sized group, ensuring everyone could hear the guide clearly and see the landmarks.

While the tour was extensive, it left me wanting more , especially when it came to exploring the Pest side.

The quick stop at Heroess' Square and drive-by sightings don't do justice to the richness of the landmarks.

However, the air-conditioned bus was a welcome respite from the sweltering heat. The Castle District tour was spectacular though.

If you are time-constrained but still want a quick overview of Budapest, this tour fits the bill. For those looking for a more detailed exploration, consider setting aside a full day.

Storyteller

Where to find us

The world of mystery and magic always played a huge part in my life. I grew up on ghost stories and books on mythical creatures. I’m very happy to live in my city, Budapest, a magical place with rich history, folklore, and historical figures: mad kings and hero villains, beautiful women and ugly hags, haunted forests and secret labyrinths. Tales of ghosts, gnomes, and demons roaming our forests and old towns, dragons fly the sky and cause storms, but we have magicians -good and evil alike- to fly up in the sky and battle these dragons. Come to my tour and I will tell you stories!

Since childhood I have often wandered off on my own to discover the unknown, curious about everything. My favourite hobby abroad is to immerse myself in the local history in the most unique way. Every corner in every town in every city has its’ own best stories and luckily the world is too huge to discover them all. Most of the legends are like magic tricks: you want to explain them but you end up just guessing. How and why? True or false? Did it happen or not? Let the magic of mysterious, creepy and grotesque stories amuse you. Brace yourself for enchanting entertainment and discover the unknown legends with me.

10 Unmissable Things To Do In Budapest At Night

Getting to know any city you're visiting like the back of your hand in just a few days is difficult if not nigh on impossible when they're as large and culturally complex as Budapest is. Immersing yourself in Budapest's nightlife can be even more complicated and you can end up getting stuck in the typical tourist traps that once you've done them, you'll wish you'd avoided.

Reading lots of articles on the internet about what the best things to do at night in Budapest isn't going to help much, especially when those articles are nothing more than regurgitated and rehashed mush written by so-called digital nomads who have never been there. Don't let yourself be misled. Read through this definitive guide to unmissable things to do in Budapest at night and once you get to the Hungarian capital, you'll be patting yourself on the back for being such a savvy traveler.

Whether you're going to do the touristy thing and have a pub crawl around some of Budapest's ruin bars or soak in a thermal spa like the locals do, you can't do it while carrying a suitcase or rucksack. When you can't leave your belongings at your hotel or hostel for whatever reason, the best way to make sure they're secure is to leave them at a location for luggage storage in Budapest while you're out having a good time.

What To Do In Budapest At Night

Everyone’s idea of having a good night out is different, but even if some of the activities detailed below are not what you'd usually do, make time on your vacation agenda to do them as they're what Budapest is all about. You'll see a different side to the city, go home with some great memories and maybe even consider returning for another, much longer stay.

Take A Thermal Spa

Dive right in to what real Budapest nightlife is all about by taking a thermal spa at one of the city's public spa baths. Hungarians have been enjoying the therapeutic benefits of the warm thermal springs waters in Budapest since the city fell under the rule of the Roman Empire and they still haven't run out of water.

Szechenyi Baths and Pool

One of the most popular spas in Budapest is the Szechenyi Baths and Pool which is in City Park. At the Szechenyi Baths, an architecturally outstanding Neo-Baroque palace houses fifteen indoor pools and partly surrounds three huge outdoor ones. There are also massage and treatment rooms where you can get some aromatherapy or a pedicure.

All of the pools at the Szechenyi Baths are mixed bathing so there's no nudity permitted. The normal dress code is decent swimwear that covers your private parts adequately. You don't need to use a swim cap unless you're going to use the lap pool where wearing one is mandatory. If going to the spa was a spur-of-the-moment decision you can purchase towels and bathrobes there, but if possible, it's better to take your own.

Romantic Evening Spa

Only two or three of the outdoor pools stay open until ten in the evening. If you want your spa to be a romantic experience with your partner where you can drink champagne and gaze at the stars, the best thing to do is hire a small, private thermal bath just for the two of you.

The Magic Bath Party

If you don't want to make your spa night a relaxing, therapeutic affair, save your visit for a Saturday night which is Magic Bath Party night. The bath party nights are like going clubbing, but you'll be dancing under the strobe lights while you're up to your waist in water. Expect to end the night as wrinkled as the proverbial prune as the parties start at nine-thirty and don't end until one in the morning. On a scoring scale of one to ten for things to do in Budapest at night, the Magic Bath Party scores a ten.

Go To The Opera

Traveling is all about having new experiences and if you've never been to an operatic performance before, forget waiting until you're in Italy to do it and go to your first opera in Budapest instead.

The Hungarian State Opera House has been hosting the best of the best operatic performances since the late 19th century. The building's opulence is beyond belief and you'll feel like one of the social elite as you make your way through it. The opera house is also home to the Hungarian National Ballet troupe so if you're tone-deaf, but don't have two left feet, you may enjoy a ballet performance more. To be guaranteed a seat at any performance you do need to make an advance reservation.

Don't turn up in jeans and sneakers at the Hungarian State Opera House. This is a night out in Budapest where you need to dress as posh as you can.

Tip: If you don't like it, you can always make a quick, un-noticed exit during the interval and disappear into the Budapest night.

Ride The Budapest Eye

It might not be all the fun of the fair, but by taking a ride on the Budapest Eye you can make seriously short work of sightseeing the city and then spend the rest of the night doing something else.

The sixty-five-meter-high Ferris wheel is located in Elizabeth Square which is in the middle of the Erzsébet téri park. The park is on the opposite side of the Danube River so you get to see it, Buda Castle, the Fisherman's Bastion, the nearby St Stephen's Basilica and, if you take a pair of binoculars, the Budapest Parliament Building.

The Budapest Eye makes its rotary journey most days until eleven at night and on Fridays and Saturdays until midnight. Unless you get stuck at the top and the operator forgets to bring you down, normal rides last between ten to twelve minutes.

Tip: If you're considering trying the traditional Hungarian fruit brandy, pálinka, wait until your ride on the Budapest Eye is over or you could get a lot dizzier than expected. It's a good idea to leave searching for the best street food in Budapest or having some traditional Hungarian food until after too.

Get Spooked In The Buda Castle Labyrinth

For a super creepy, early evening activity in Budapest the Buda Castle Labyrinth is hard to beat. The labyrinth is a set of tunnels and caves carved out of the rocks underneath Buda Castle, the royal palace complex, on Castle Hill.

The labyrinth has a long history dating back to medieval times and has served many purposes from hiding place to WW2 shelter, a wine cellar and escape route as well as being the prison where Vlad The Impaler was incarcerated.

The entire labyrinth is around a kilometer long and, unless you stop frequently to admire the medieval stonework and exhibits, takes about half an hour to get through.

If you don't want to get totally freaked out, skip the Waxworks of the Opera exhibition and the Maze of Darkness where there's reputed to be serious paranormal activity. If you're still trying to decide where to stay in Budapest , believe it, Buda Castle is definitely not where you want to be sleeping in Budapest at night.

Dinner Cruise On The Danube River

While the Danube River may not be as blue as history has made it out to be, it's still a romantic river to take an evening tour on and you’ll find locals making this Budapest night trip as well as visitors. It really is one of the most romantic things to do in Budapest at night.

There are multiple dinner cruises to choose from and they're all as good as each other, so which you choose really depends on your personal taste and your budget. You can go posh and have a waiter serve you an a la carte dinner, go buffet-style, take a dinner cruise with live music or go on one where they serve traditional Hungarian food or a selection of different Hungarian wine.

Most dinner cruises set sail at around seven in the evening and last for a duration of around two and a half to three hours. If you're not into eating while navigating then you can take just a guided night cruise down the Danube River which passes by Buda Castle and the Royal Palace, St Stephen's Basilica, Fisherman's Bastion, and the Budapest Parliament Building. 

Explore Budapest By Night On Two Legs, Two Wheels Or More?

There are many different ways to get around Budapest at night, but some are definitely more fun than others. Two will even help burn off any extra calories you've consumed trying the hearty Hungarian food.

Night Cycle Tour Of Budapest

A night cycle tour is one of the more fun things to do in Budapest at night as long as you haven't spent the previous couple of hours in one of the city's ruin bars.

The best time of the year to do bike tours of Budapest is during the summer months when it's warmer. It's still dark though so the luminescent wheels look amazing as you're pedaling around.

Most tours last for around two and a half hours during which time you'll get to explore the Jewish Quarter, around the base of Castle Hill, pass the parliament building, over Chain Bridge and Liberty Bridge, cycle along the Danube promenade and as the evening tour is guided, you'll learn about the mummified hand in St Stephen's Basilica.

Night Walking Tour Of Budapest

Put your comfortable shoes on and hit the streets for a walking tour of Budapest and the great thing about it is, it's one of the few things to do at night in Budapest that's free – not counting the tip for the guide of course.

You can pick up a free walking tour of Budapest by being in Elizabeth Square in the Erzsébet téri park near the Budapest Eye at half-past six in the evening. Tours take around an hour and a half during which you'll get to explore the Great Market Hall, the Fisherman's Bastion, walk up Gellert Hill to see the views, see Vaci Street, and learn about the Jewish Ghetto which is a must-do when visiting Budapest.

Take A Budapest Tuk Tuk Tour

If you really don't feel up to trailing around Budapest on foot, go for a tuk-tuk tour instead. The cute, three-wheel vehicles carry two passengers and are driven by local guides who know the city inside out.

It's not the most economical way of seeing the top sights in Budapest, but you will see pretty much all there is to see during the two-and-a-half-hour tour.

Go On A Ruin Bar Pub Crawl

The question is would you really be visiting Budapest if you didn't go to a ruin bar at least once while you're there? The answer is, probably not. Ruin bars are housed in what were derelict or abandoned buildings that have been renovated to be chic, trendy, and mostly cheap places to go for a drink. You'll find ruin bars and ruin pubs hidden away down back streets and peppering the Jewish Quarter.

NB: If you've seen the write-ups about Budapest's most famous ruin bar and want to go, you'll find Szimpla Kert on Kazinczy Street .

Now you've read through this guide to things to do in Budapest at night you know almost as much as a local does. All you have to do is get your bags packed, book your flights and your accommodation, and get there before you've forgotten what you've read. To make sure you have the best time ever when visiting Budapest, it's a good idea to print this guide to things to do in Budapest at night and take a copy with you.

WHAT WE DO ON FREE EVENING TOUR

There are a number of reasons why we can recommend you to take this Budapest Night tour, let’s see a couple of them. First of all, if you arrive to Budapest in the afternoon, most of the other free walking tours had already been departed, but you still would like to make the best of your evening and see some of the city during your first free couple of hours in the Hungarian capital city.

This Free Budapest Evening walking tour starts in the early evening and lasts for 1-1,5 hours which is perfect, because you still have time afterwards to have dinner or go out to explore the nightlife of Budapest. Our local guides can recommend restaurants and pubs at the end of the tour in the downtown area.

Also, our Budapest Night tour is ideal for those who cannot take longer walks because of health or any other issues, the pace and the route is easy. It starts and ends on the Pest side of the city, takes you from Elisabeth square through the downtown and the famous shopping street, the Váci street to the Great Market hall on Fővám square (which is already closed at the end of the tour, but you can return and check it out the next day!).

If you find that you still have some energy left at the end, it’s recommended to cross the Liberty bridge and walk up to the top of the Gellért hill (takes about 15-20 minutes) and admire the view of the beautiful, lit up city.

If you are planning to join us in the wintertime or summertime, but you cannot bear the cold or hot weather for long, our Budapest Night walking tour is great for you, since it is a bit shorter than for example the Original Budapest tour, but it has a similar, general topic. You can learn about some of the Hungarian and Budapest’s history, culture, cuisine and nightlife during this useful, compact walk.

Another reason why it’s great to join our Budapest Night tour is that even if you’ve seen some of the same attractions during the day, this walk will give you a new perspective, so join us for a fascinating guided tour brought to you by our knowledgeable, local tour guides to discover Budapest’s historical downtown and urban legends!

• joost B 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Disappointed I was disappointed with this trip. The trip starts @ 11.00 that is impossible to be there if you would want to go by public transport from Malaga so you need to arrange something else. The guide is OK but has a limited added value. It was not clear at the end of the trip where to go if you want to get back to the starting point. There were to many persons waiting for the single bus who collected the persons so people were let behind as they did not fitted in the bus. There was no communication how long it would cost before another bus would picked them up. The bus who brought you back to the starting point did not except card payment, so the bus driver directed us to go to the bank first, after waiting to enter the bus for 20 minutes. This was also not communicated in advance in order for us to be prepared. Resume: just go to the entrance, purchase the ticket at the entrance read wiki about the area and walk the track in your own tempo. Read more Written November 27, 2019
