Whisky and Pálinka stores open to warm you up as long and cold winter nights approach.
One of the few tapas bars in Budapest
The Wikinger burger shop at Móricz Zsigmond körtér is one of those places that nightwalkers of Budapest cannot pass by without picking up something to eat. It is open all night long, offering delicious and substantial burgers at reasonable prices between Ft 560 and Ft 1,090.
I came across Csendes purely by accident. At first glance I was under the impression it was some sort of art gallery or bookstore. Confused and curious, I stepped inside to realize I had entered a bar.

If you have ever come across the international confectionery, bakery and delicatessen shop Ártosz, you were surely relieved to see that you don’t have to leave Budapest for a taste of the Mediterranean.

Adéle Eisenstein reviews the exhibition of contemporary photographer Thomas Ruff.
Russian-American violinist Alexander Markov performed the Sibelius Violin Concerto with the Budapest Concert Orchestra (MÁV) on December 12 to a full and enthusiastic house at the Academy of Music.
Another violin virtuoso who does, in fact, have the subtlety, refinement and good taste to make real music is the young Japanese woman Akiko Suwanai, who was the youngest-ever winner of the Tchaikovsky Violin Competition when she was only 18. She will play Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, conducted by Iván Fischer, at the Palace of Arts on Saturday, December 27 and twice on Sunday, December 28.
