Budapest Ruin Bar Night Crawl

Budapest 4 hours Small group4.7(9,300 reviews)

Budapest's ruin bars emerged in the 2000s when young Hungarians took over derelict buildings in the former Jewish Quarter and turned them into labyrinthine bars with mismatched furniture, street art, overgrown courtyards, and live music. Szimpla Kert is the original; Instant and Fogas are the successors. A local guide provides entry to the best (and skips the tourist traps) with welcome drinks included.
