%B%CB%S4The Danube: Take a night-stroll along the Danube
  • Tip Rating:
  • Budapest - walking along the Danube
  • walking along the Danube

  • Nightlife Spot: The Danube

    Take a night-stroll along the Danube and you will pass by plenty of restaurant-ships even in wintertime.
    All the pics that you see on this page were made in January 2005.
    In the back of my picture you may see the castle of Budapest, the Fisher-bastion and the famous Chainbridge.
    All of these sights are lighted until late after midnight and it is best to explore them at night, when all of the tourists have left ...

    Dress Code: Make sure you are dressed warmly in wintertime, walking along the river might be windy and a lot colder than in the centre of town.
    Directions: The part of the Danube between Elisabeth-bridge and the Chainbridge is the best regarding the views !

    Budapest at night: Vigadó / Pester Redoute
  • Tip Rating:
  • Budapest Budapest at night
  • Vigadó / Pester Redoute
  • by globetrott
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Nightlife Spot: Budapest at night

    Vigadó / Pester Redoute is a beautiful old palace and music-hall, where you may still attend concerts at special times.
    It seems to be at least partly under reconstruction now, but it looks great already from outside and might be worth to take a closer look at the lovely Romantik facade.
    In this music-hall Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner had a concert in the year 1885.

    Dress Code: In general you would not need to be dressed formally for such a concert.
    Address: Vigadó tér
    Directions: Take tram #2 or leave the metro at the station Vörösmarty tér.
    The buses #2 and #15 go there as well and even the cruise-ships have their own landing-stage there, called "Vigadó"

    %B%CB%S4 Budapest Operett Színház: how about Operettas & Musicals ?
  • Tip Rating:

  • Nightlife Spot: Budapest Operett Színház

    Just opposite of the "House of Photography" you will see this lovely building with a nice Art Nouveau-entrance and a beautiful entree. Click on my picture and you will see the lovely facade of that building obviously dating back also to the end of the 19th centrury.
    They had a performance called "Mozart 100" - just a pity I did not have enough time to go there !

    Theme: Theater
    Dress Code: Budapest Operett Színház is certainly NO place, where you need to dress up formally.
    Address: Nagymezö utca
    Directions: The house of Photography and Budapest Operett Színház are about 200 meters from the Opera to the north. Just walk along Andrassy utca, it is just 1 or 2 blocks.

    Budapest at night: Fisher Bastion - totally empty at night
  • Tip Rating:
  • Budapest Budapest at night
  • the Parliament seen from Fisher
  • Bastion
  • by globetrott
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Nightlife Spot: Budapest at night

    Fisher Bastion is a really romantic place at night and especially photomaniacs will realize, that all of the tourists are somewhere else and taking pictures is really easy then.
    Everything is beautifully lighted -also in wintertime - and all of the places that you may enter freely during the day will be also open all night.

    Dress Code: NObody cares about that, but in winter it might be the best to have good shoes and be maybe extra careful because of eventual icy spots.
    Directions: This picture of the parliament was taken from Fisher Bastion.

    Budapest at night: Take a nightwalk around the castle of Buda
  • Tip Rating:
  • Budapest Budapest at night
  • the castle of Buda at night
  • by globetrott
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Nightlife Spot: Budapest at night

    The castle of Buda is beautifully lighted at night and walking through its park is easy and offers great panorama-views over the Danube, Buda and Pest.
    This picture was taken in january 2005 at 09.00p.m. and almost nobody else was to be seen in the garden.
    Some places of the castle-hill seem to be sensitive regarding terrorist attacks maybe, because you will see some policemen on the watch - BUT somehow this fact also adds some more security for ordinary tourists.

    Dress Code: Good shoes are best when you intend to WALK down afterwards over the steps ( the funicular will stop running down at 10.00p.m.)
    Directions: This picture was taken inside the park of the castle in Buda - it is open all night.

    Budapest at night: Restaurant ships along the Danube
  • Tip Rating:
  • Budapest Budapest at night
  • dining on the Danube
  • by globetrott
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Nightlife Spot: The spoon

    Between the Chain bridge and Elisabeth-bridge you may find a lot of great restaurant-ships docked and waiting there for guests - even in winter 3 of them were opened and in summer there will be more of them, including a Casino-ship.
    The view on the castle is stunning, although some tourists might prefer to go on a Dinner-cruise instead of staying at the same spot all the time.
    On the other hand, a restaurant-ship like "the spoon" on my picture is certainly the better choice for a perfect dining-atmosphere.

    Theme: Eating and Drinking
    Dress Code: The spoon seems to be the most formal of all these restaurant-ships.
    Phone: +36 (1) 411-0933
    Directions: Take a walk along the Danube and you will see them close to the Chain-bridge.
