Open-air Bars in Budapest

Budapest. Summer Bars

Budapest is blessed with excellent climate and streets wide enough to accommodate open-air terraces. From May to October many restaurants, cafes and bars offer outdoor eating and drinking for their guests.

There is Duna Corso with posh restaurants and great view of the Danube and Buda, there is Liszt Ferenc square with many tables in the shadow of old plane trees, there is more budget Ráday street with over twenty terraces.

Budapest is also famous for its kerts (Hungarian for “garden”). Usually, these are located in the courtyards of abandoned buildings in the downtown and known for their laid-back atmosphere, arty crowd and reasonable prices.

Here we offer you a selection of Budapest outdoor bars and kerts to visit this summer:
