7 perfect date locations for winter in Budapest

It is winter: cold and often dark, and nothing warms one more than the time spent with their significant other. But what to do when you cannot go and stargaze under the moonlit sky at midnight? Fear not: there are still countless things to do with your partner during winter. Here is a list of places in Budapest you two can visit and have an amazing time.

1. Ice skating

One of the most obvious and most cliché, yet most exciting ways to spend a date in winter. Whether you are the most confident in the ice skating rink or the one who has never had a pair of ice skates on, you are guaranteed to have the time of your life with your date. At the Budapest Park Ice Rink, the “Night of the Ice Rinks” is coming. This is a wonderful opportunity to skate together at night surrounded by a very romantic atmosphere.

2. Pinball museum

Right in 2nd place comes a not-so-average date idea. If the only place you have ever played pinball was your huge PC back in 2008, and you loved it, this one is for you. You can find this special museum at 18 Radnóti Miklós Street in the 13th district. Find tickets on their official site.

3. Couple’s massage

A good massage is something everybody wants and needs, but only a few of us can actually get it. Take the opportunity and make your date not only fun but also relaxing. Recharge together in a massage centre, and if you want something plus: ask for champagne or some strawberries and chocolate that you can consume together at the end.

4. Zugliget Chairlift

This might not be the perfect choice if you are especially sensitive to the cold because this is not a programme that requires physical activity. But if you are not afraid of even subzero temperatures, and you want to see the beautiful scenery of the capital, do not hesitate. Share this amazing experience with your date and chairlift up to the János Hill together. Budapest’s highest point is waiting for you two with its height of 528 metres. Check the opening hours and the ticket prices here.

5. Budapest Eye

Another way to see the city from up above. Put on thick winter clothes, take a warm blanket with you, and enjoy the view with your date. No better place for a first kiss than above the city, right? Check the Ferris wheel’s site for tickets and opening hours.

6. Cereal Beast

Do you pour the milk or the cereal first? You can discuss your opinions in Hungary’s first cereal-themed place. You can also customise your own bowl of cereal: choose international, national or international+national cereal, ask for as many toppings as you like, and you can even get colourful milk. Check the menu or their official website and tell your date that you already know where you two will go next.

7. Budapest Makery

All you have to do is book a place for you two, choose the menu, and the staff of the Makery prepares everything for you. You may even learn a brand-new recipe that you can make at home with your significant other in the future.
