Things to do during wintertime in Budapest

In this blog article, The Free Budapest Walking Tours Team would like to recommend you a few things that you can do before or after taking a free tour with us during these cold days in the Hungarian capital city!

• Try some Hungarian Wine in a wine bar! Hungary is traditionally a wine making country. Our wines are not very well known world-wide (except for the Tokaj wine which is a sweet white wine), but believe us, you can find some pretty nice ones for not too expensive. Alcohol can heat you up as well after spending some time wondering around the streets of Budapest in the cold 😉 Let us mention a few wine bars for you: Eazy Wine Bar on Hold street, Drop Shop on on Balassi Bálint street, Di Vino next to the Saint Stephen’s Basilica.
• Have a hot coffee/drink or brunch/breakfast! Take a walk on Bartók Béla road on the Buda side from the green Liberty bridge and from the Gellért bath and discover its many cafés, there are pretty cool places over there, for example Szatyor, Mitzi, Kelet. A couple of brunch spots: Mindenem on Múzeum ringroad, Á la Maison on Szervita square, Czakó kert on the Buda side, on Czakó street.
• Go Ice-skating! Europes largest open-air ice-skating rink is waiting for you next to the iconic Heroes’ square in the City Park. You can rent ice-skates in case you left yours at home… 🙂 Here are their opening hours! You can also find a few smaller ice-skating rinks for example next to the Bálna market hall (Fővám square 11-12.) with great views to the Gellért hill on the Buda side of the city until the end of February (if the weather allows).

Hope we can keep you warm during these freezing winter days with these recommendations, see you soon on our Free Tours in Budapest!
