As italian I am not scared to say that this pizza would be outstanding even in my country. More incredible: even my mother said so!

The 5th district stars from this point, at the corner with the Freedom Bridge and on the opposite side of Gellert Hotel. If you want to buy some Hungarian typical food or any presents, just go here. It is beautiful even just for a quick walk.

This stunning place is super hidden even if it's so central. It literally has thousands of different teas and I challenge you to go out from there without taking a selfie with a vintage cup or with some exotic tea leaves.

Entertainment & Activities

This is the only animal café of Budapest. They will literally give you a rabbit or a chameleon or whatever in your hands, to caress it while you are drinking your cappuccino. Something different for sure.

I went to many zoos in my life, even in New York and London, but this is definitely my favourite so far. Pretty small, but so cool! Perfect for 2 or 3 hours of nice walking, maybe after the Szczesny Spa or before a visit of Heroes Square, that are right in front of it.

I know that every guide will suggest that the best Thermal Spas are Széchenyi or Gellert (and I understand... they are amazing). But no one of them has such an outstanding rooftop with a perfect view on the city as Rudas, that is even walking distance from our apartment!

Parks & Nature

It is exactly on the other side of the Danube from our apartment, and it will offer you one of the best view of all Europe! Bring a bottle of wine with you, and you can sit there for hours, at the top of the hill, under the Statue of Liberty or in other hided points of the park.

If you like nature or jogging, this is the perfect place. There is also a hidden Japanese garden at the end of the island, and a tiny zoo. Pretty romantic.

This is my favourite castle in Budapest. Very close to the classic Heroes Square, it is surrounded by a nice park with a vintage market on Sundays.

Trust me... take a walk on this kind of "secret garden" and you will thank me. It is just down the corner, and it is super lovely, surrounded by nice hipsters bars.

Drinks & Nightlife

Start your night from here! This place has amazing cocktails, and a wonderful sight. Then you can start walking along the Danube enjoing one of the best view of the city before to reach the Chain Bridge with many other bars and clubs on Pest side, or the Castle and the Old City on Buda side.

If you like Techno or Deep House, this absolutely the best club in town! Very underground and pretty dark. You will not find it in guides, and for sure you will not see many tourists in it.

This club is amazing. There are some of the best live shows and dj set of the city. Of course you must check what is going on tonight, but you can be sure this is the right place to have quality fun.

Yeah, I know that you expect more original tips from a local, but this place is for pubs what Basilica of San Pietro in Rome is for churches. And anyway, it can be useful as reference to go out in the night, because most of the things happen in that neighborhood, the 6th district.

This restaurant has live jazz music every night. It's walking distance and has a cool vibe. I suggest you to book a table because it's usually pretty crowded.

Sightseeing

Of course. The parlament of Budapest is a classic. But what you probably don't know is that from our place you can take the Tram number 2 for 1 Euro and jump down right in front of it. What's special? The route of this tram is considered the most beautiful of all Europe, because it goes all by the Danube and it will offer you an amazing view, from Margaret Island until the National Theatre. Yeah.... this is a very good tip.

Arts & Culture

This is the Museum of Modern Arts of Budapest, and it is very close to the National Theatre. It is very nice to start from here with the tram number 2, to reach Margaret Island passing the Parlament and our apartment :)
