SPARTY parties in the Szechenyi Baths

While European pensioners and tourists with children visit the famous Szechenyi Thermal Baths during the day, young people book seats at Sparty parties, which take place weekly from February to December. The name came from the word fusion of Spa + Party (from the English “spa treatments + party”), when they decided in Budapest to combine the bathing culture with dance music and began to organize parties in open-air swimming pools in the Szechenyi Baths in 1994.

Sparty parties are a perfect entertainment for fans of bright and unusual events that takes place every Saturday from 22:30 to 03:00. Tickets are best booked in advance, but you can also purchase them at the entrance by choosing the appropriate fare.

Budapest Ruin Bars

Bars in abandoned buildings have long been not just Budapest's highlight, but a real city attraction described in guidebooks, and an example of modern Budapest culture, making the nightlife of the city unique and special.

The history of ruin bars began with the appearance of Szimpla Kert in 2004. The bar opened in one of the abandoned buildings in the city center, and the unusual concept and interior, assembled from rubbish and old furniture, made such an impression on visitors that it became one of the most famous bars in the world very quickly.

The main idea of Szimpla Kert ruin bar is to provide an open space for for one and all, so the platform is open for musicians who want to perform on a small stage, and the space turns into a farmer's market every Sunday morning.
