Visiting budapest early June, any tips to meet locals instead of going for tourism ?
Sziasztok ! French here, very interested by the Hungarian culture, trying to learn the language, I visited the main places of Budapest last year, and will go back soon, but I was wondering if you knew places to really chill and increasing chances to meet locals and/or French…

Budapest, heading out to budapest at the end of September, what nightlife recommendations or bar areas. Also any tips?
Districts 6 & 7 at night, I personally love Központ bar (underground and good vibes). Don’t visit Szimpla kert too late, it’s packed and basically a tourist trap. You can visit it in the afternoon, as the place is well worth a visit. Ignore the guys offering you drugs in…

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Központ is praised for its vibrant atmosphere, diverse crowd, and excellent gin tonics, making it a popular social hub. However, some visitors find the drink prices, particularly for wine, to be quite high, and the environment might be too loud or have an off-putting smell for those looking to work.
"They charged us almost €30 for 3 glasses of wine. The waitress told us she had poured us almost a whole bottle… who is she trying to fool? It’s a tiny glass of wine.
Disappointing."
Lucía Garrido
"The atmosphere is cool, a bunch of diverse cool people chitchatting….
Also a great gin tonic m, yet average rose wine.
The girl at the bar knew our order again only after the 1st one, even though it was crowded…
Worth of visiting… :)"
