Getting Around

Make sure you validate your ticket before you step on the escalator to the metro - controllers like to catch tourists at the bottom. When taking a bus, check the time table at the stop to see if you may only get on it at the front, where you need to present your ticket to the driver. In any case, you have to validate your ticket on the bus (just like with trams or trolley buses)

Food Scene

They have a decent breakfast menu, but my favourites are the sandwiches (best if you have them toasted) and the fresh fruit juices. And their cheesecake... Oh, that cheesecake...

Nice, budget friendly restaurant, offering Hungarian dishes among others. The waiters' English might not be the most excellent tho..

Parks & Nature

Perfect place for a picnic, playing frisbee, or just a nice walk that will bring lovely discoveries: one of them is a mini zoo, and of course there is the musical fountain with fantastic light show in the evenings. No more spoilers, the rest you will have to discover for yourself ;) And if you're one for the sports, you can find a huge swimming pool in the middle, or go running around the island on a padded path, right next to the Danube.

Drinks & Nightlife

It has the atmosphere of a friend's weekend house. It really is a garden, with lots of green. Getting served could be a little tricky as there is no counter and no waitresses, but once you figure it out, it's the perfect place for a quiet drink at the end of a long day. Honestly, I have never felt this relaxed in any bar or café.

If you enjoy listening to fine music with a drink in your hand, check out the BJC. They often have live jazz: from students of the Franz Liszt Academy to the biggest names of the Hungarian Jazz scene, performances are always worth your attention.
