Elevated security level in Budapest party district
According to infostart.hu, Márton Nagy, Hungary’s National Economy Minister, talked about a new police station in Elizabethtown, Budapest’s 7th district, in a press conference of the Hungarian Tourism Agency this Monday. According to him, the government will increase the police presence in Budapest’s “party district”, raising the number of officers on patrol from 48 to 58.
Furthermore, they would like to establish an independent police station there. The aim is to guarantee the safety of the tourists and the locals in the so-called party district, a small area of Budapest’s 6th and 7th districts between the Small Ring Road (“Kiskörút”) and the Grand Boulevard (“Nagykörút”).
Péter Niedermüller, the district’s mayor, said they did not receive details about how many police officers the government plans to redirect there or where the new station will be.

Szimpla Kert and Ko Leves are my two favourites. Party at Szimpla and relax at Ko Leves. I have written off the Gozsdu Passage as a tourist trap and particularly the Blue Bird Karaoke place there.
