Going to Budapest in May (for my hen - thinly veiled. again.) Here are some ideas I’ve found so far: ruin bars, thermal baths (and sparties?!), wine tasting, river cruise, pinball museum and a million different bars that all sound amazing. I’d love recommendations from people who have been please.
I went in one of the saunas at the thermal baths when I visited Budapest.
I was in one of the steam room type things along with a couple of other guys, when one of them (a middle aged Hungarian man) dropped his towel and started furiously masturbating.
I found out later a lot of gay men go there to cottage, and pick up potential partners.
I’d pick any thermal bath visits wisely, but I’d definitely recommend Buda Castle.
Szechenyi Baths + Sauna obvs
Ruin bar area was ok
Printa (shop / gallery / cafe / print studio)
Szputnyik (vintage shop)

Bestia Restaurant
Zing Burger for something quick
Premier Kultcafe
Telep cafe / gallery
Mai Mano House
Palace Of Arts / Ludwig Museum
Museum Of Applied Arts
House Of Terror (possibly not the right time)
St Stevens Basilica
Margit-sziget
Central Market
No probs. Was only there a month or so ago and loved every second.
Main thing I forgot to mention was to get a ‘Budapest Card’ at a kiosk in the airport. Covers all types of transport and gives 10/15/20/30% off most places.
