Hungary celebrated the national holiday with amazing fireworks – PHOTOS
The Sky Garden (45, Podmaniczky utca, 1064)
This rooftop bar belonging to Mystery Hotel Budapest, with the capacity of 50 people, gives the place a unique touch. You can admire the magnificent view of the city in the shadow of a Doric column. “The Royal palace almost floats in front of us. The Eiffel-designed Nyugati Railway Station is a stunning building just a short walk away. In the distance, you can see the Castle of Buda, the Fishermen’s Bastion and Gellért Hill.” They are open every day between 3 pm and 11 pm. Thanks to its location and everything they offer, they recommend making a reservation in advance.
360 Bár (39, Andrássy út, 1061)
This rooftop terrace in the heart of Budapest gives a 360° panoramic view of the capital. And when I say on the capital, I really mean it. Almost every monument and important spot can be seen from this minimalist yet modern bar full of green plants and a very long drink list. Despite its location in Andrássy Avenue, 360 Bár has reasonable prices and very nice opening hours between 2 pm and 2 am from Friday to Saturday, which of course, may vary depending on the weather. The rest of the days, they close at midnight, and between Thursday and Sunday, there is a 1000 forints entry fee (3euros). It is a popular place, so reserving a table in advance is more than advised.
Just as we start to slide into autumnal weather, now the DNH chooses to run a repackaged article that it trots out every year?! What next, promoting beaches in January? Or running an article on how to keep warm in the middle of the summer?
The 360 bar is overrated!! To sit there in the winter is nightmarish and the drinking menu is so narrow.
More product, less marketing please.
