In the midst of the beautiful Jewish quarter di Budapest you will find one of the many Ruin Pubs (literally "ruined pub“) Scattered around the city: I'm talking about the Szimpla Kert (Kazinczy utca 14), created inside an abandoned factory. Be ready to leave the outside world behind as you will enter a new dimension! On the surface it might seem like a social center, but in reality every single square centimeter of the place is thought out in the smallest detail.
The Lonley Planet put it in third place in the ranking of the best bars in the world and it really is an experience to do. Many rooms to get lost in spread over two floors and even one external courtyard, fully functional even in the middle of winter.
There are tables a little everywhere but many customers prefer to stay up to have their drink or listen to excellent live music, but the most characteristic thing is the truly imaginative setting: for example, it could happen that you drink your drink on a dentist chair or inside a real roofless car or open the bathroom door which has one instead of the handle telephone handset, you will find skis leaning against the wall, writings on the walls waiting for other writings from new customers, bicycles hanging and fully functional.
Also in these places, perfectly supervised by security at the entrance given the large turnout, you can also find important ones photographic exhibitions or cinematic as well as a great mix of races and cultures that find themselves in this place that I could almost define "the navel of Budapest".
I can certainly advise you to live the moment to the fullest, not letting any detail of the decor of the room escape you, same thing for the drinks, do not leave without having drunk one shot of palinka, typical drink of the Hungarian tradition, which here can be tasted in different flavors. I tried the classic one, the strongest, really a bomb, but considering the cold that awaits you outside, it is really a must.
