Five cool places in Budapest to start your first day at after quarantine

As the restrictions have been eased Hungary and especially Budapest comes alive. Bars, cafés and confectioneries open alongside with many shops and malls in the city. As the good weather approaches, more and more people can be seen sitting on the terraces of these bars. Waiters and all the workers are obliged to wear face masks to take care of the guests, and at the same time, costumers need to keep the 1.5-meter distance to protect each other. Here are five places where you can spend some time safely in Budapest.

Shot Bar & Café

Let us start with one of the most popular bars of Budapest. Shot Bar is located on the Boulevard between Wesselényi and Király Street (tram line 4–6). The place is famous for its many cocktails and small shots made out of vodka with different kind of syrups added to it. The place also sells delicious mojitos and lemonades to cool you off in the upcoming summer season.

Bálna Terasz

Famous for its magnificent Danube view next to the Liberty Bridge, Bálna Terasz offers refreshing drinks, cocktails and several meals like hamburgers, pasta, cakes and has a wide variety of coffee selection. Currently, the place operates with a limited number of tables to avoid many people sitting too close to each other. Table reservation, therefore, is temporarily out of the options, and the place welcomes guests on a first-come-first-served basis.
