The alternative guide to the best places in Budapest: ruin bars, the ultimate places for beer and wine, street food, restaurants, child-friendly places, stylish destinations to check out in both Buda and Pest.

In this new wave guidebook, you won’t find the common list of museums, memorials and scenic spots featured over and over in the traditional guides. It is wanted to acquaint you with hidden gems, such as the inner workings of Budapest’s famous pub district. In the past few years, this historic part of the inner city has grown into one of Europe’s biggest nightlife and entertainment districts. Over 150 establishments now do business in the historic ghetto. The milling crowd on Kazinczy utca starting on Thursday night turns into a veritable festival. The district is packed with options and each place is different, so the book gathers the top food, drink and cultural critics native to the area to give you a comprehensive review of the most important and interesting places. One is wallpapered in comic books, while another gives a 360° panorama of the city from its highest point. There’s a place where you can drop in anytime for Serbian food and places to party to music spun by top DJs. Beyond the bars, restaurants and clubs, there is also an exciting and colorful lifestyle to explore.

The recommendations are listed for the best places to eat breakfast, grab street food, check out Michelin starred restaurants, beer places, child-friendly places, and places with Budapest style in both Buda and Pest. The book gathers Budapest’s top trendsetting critics to write subjective recommendations, and only places personally tried out and liked were selected. “Day & Night Guide to Budapest” is a recommendation and guidebook, not a critical publication.
