1. Budapest Ruin Bars

We start first with Ruin Bars, which is an indispensable part of Budapest nightlife.. Of course, if you’re hearing it for the first time, you might probably be asking, “What’s with Ruin Bar?”

Let me answer right away.. As the name suggests, ruin, or ruin, refers to places where the old buildings are brought back to life and transformed into bars, cafes and entertainment venues.

This Ruin Bar frenzy emerged as follows: After Hungary came out of the communist period, it was a ruin in need of care. The buildings and streets started to be beautified with the cooperation of the youth.

Of course, the young people, who were also thirsty for art due to the pressure brought by the communist era, were enraged. they managed to revive it.

I think they did very well.. Because you feel so comfortable in Ruin Bars that you want to spend time there day and night.

I think people are happier in places where they don’t really contract.. Personally, I felt very comfortable at Ruin Bars and had a lot of fun.

Another reason for my happiness was that even though it was so crowded, no one had fun without disturbing anyone. Only on the weekends, Ruin Bars get a bit more crowded, that’s all.

By the way, these inspiring and friendly places are open not only at night but also during the day.. While you sip your coffee calmly during the day and marvel at the colors and all the details, you also enjoy the comfort with beautiful music at night. You can make reservations at the ruinpubs where Ruin Bars are located.

As we understand the Ruin Bar logic, we can now move on to the places I will recommend:

Thermal baths are one of the most important places to see in Budapest both during the day and at night.. When you think of Turkish baths, don’t think of indoor baths, but healing thermal water in an outdoor pool.

Places to Visit in Denizli, just like our Karahayıt Thermal Springs.. Of course, we don’t organize parties, that’s different.

There is an event called SPARTY, which was created by combining the words ‘Spa’ and ‘Party’ around here.. If you are going to be in Budapest in the summer and spring, you can dedicate your Saturday night to these crazy parties.

I even want to write down where you can prefer for Budapest pool parties right below:

2.1 Szechenyi Baths
