Telegraph: Budapest reopens, and they recommend these baths and bars to visit – photos

Before the coronavirus epidemic, Budapest was one of the hubs of European tourism attracting many people from all over the world with its architecture, natural beauty, thermal baths, party district, etc. In the last few months, tourists disappeared, but thanks to the end of the lockdown, they might slowly return, and The Telegraph says it is still worth visiting the Hungarian capital for the following reasons.

According to The Telegraph, before the Covid-19 pandemic, “Budapest was long an Eden for carefree wee-hours revellers.” The Hungarian capital was under a strict lockdown in the last two months, so people went outside for only a walk or to buy the necessities. That was extremely important because global experiences showed that the virus spreads quicker in big cities. However,

the city now opens again.

“Shopping at supermarkets and drugstores between the hours of 9 am and noon remains the domain of those 65 and over, but terraces, a lively staple of Budapest summers, beckon to the rest of the city residents once again. Even indoor dining and imbibing is now possible at restaurants and bars,” wrote Alia Akkam, a travel journalist.

She says that it was strange to arrive in the 7th district (part of the party district) in June and to see that there were no tourists. That is because, currently, Hungarian citizens, permanent resident card holders of the European Economic Area, those who have close Hungarian relatives, and diplomats with resident cards are the only ones allowed to enter Hungary,
