Your Own Budapest Ruin Bars Walking Tour (opens in a new tab)

2 2 h 30 min

With a local representative of this industry, we'll take you to the most unusual ruin bars in Budapest. But that's not all - most of the visitors to these bars are tourists, so we'll also take you to a couple of non-touristy spots where locals gather and show you what to drink so you'll be accepted as "one of them." You'll learn a lot of unexpected things about the Hungarian capital along the way. And, of course, at the end of the tour, we'll share with you our favorite places because there's no way you can visit all of them in one evening! During the walk, we'll visit 4-5 bars. One drink for each participant is included in the price. The walking tour is available on weekdays from 3 pm and on weekends from noon. Please note that any of the places we visit may require an ID card/passport. Get ready for an unforgettable night out!
