From the 6th of December you can skate and party on the Savoy Terrace. Buda will have an amazing winter venue soon: a new ice rink opens on one of the most beautiful terraces in the city, with the best panoramic views in town. The grand opening of the brand new ice rink will take place on the 6th of December on the Savoy Terrace in Buda Castle. Skating and dancing will be a must at the free party, with top DJs spinning records throughout the evening while we skate, dance or sip our drinks while enjoying the view of the Parliament and the Chain Bridge.

The 10 Best Fall Date Ideas in Buda that Will Make You Feel All the Seasonal Vibes

Indoor and outdoor venues, a nice café, a spa or a climbing gym where you’re guaranteed to have a memorable experience. In autumn, the Buda side has a special atmosphere, with the sun shining through the falling leaves and the parks change their colours from green to yellow, brown and red. During this time, whether you’re sitting in a park or on the terrace of a café, the city is beautiful.

A foreigner friend of mine – who recently chose Budapest as his temporary headquarters – asked me which places I would recommend him where he can take his girlfriend, what places to choose for a date. So here’s a list…

Hot Chocolate Season Is Here and We Know Where You Should Try the Best In Town

Hot chocolate is one of the simple pleasures that turns the cold weather more enjoyable. We found a hidden gem on the Buda side, a little cafe with wide selection of hot chocolate where you can also try the popular pumpkin spice latte and many other specialties. The leaves are already falling, turning brilliant shades of red and gold, and the air is getting cooler in the early hours, so we’ll be taking our morning coffee indoors rather than out on the café terrace. There is one wonderful drink that also signals the arrival of autumn and winter, and that is hot chocolate. Whether sipping it from a paper cup after an outdoor adventure or sitting in an elegant café, it’s all about creamy, rich flavour, the kind of hot chocolate we imagine based on Willy Wonka movies. The history of hot chocolate goes back to ancient Central American civilisations:…
