Fun stuff to do alone in Budapest – winter edition

The 2nd of January was World Introvert Day, so Funzine decided to share with you some useful tips that bored expats, locals, and solo travellers could all use.

An introvert is a person who generally prefers solitary activities to interacting with bigger groups of people, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that socializing isn’t on their agenda. Yes, they might need to mentally prepare for a night out, and yes, it is likely that they toy with the idea of cancelling until the very last minute. Still, even they know that in a beautiful city like Budapest there is so much to see and do that it’s actually worth leaving the comfort of their house. Escape to a calm and relaxing atmosphere, follow our tips!

Recharge your batteries

No matter if you are an introvert or simply enjoy traveling alone, put your favourite book in your bag, and head off to the city centre. To warm yourself up after a walk in the cold, have a cup of warm aromatic tea at the oriental Vörös Oroszlán Tea House, if only to look around and admire its cosy, oriental interior. It’s like discovering the island of peace in the bustling city. If you prefer to have a coffee in a modern environment, we recommend you to visit one of Budapest’s nicest brew bars, Madal Café.

Well-deserved fun

Watching a movie alone is fun, period. Imagine: you can pick any film you are interested in, choose the seats of your preference, and no one will keep poking you in the middle of a fun or exciting scene to distract your attention. Did you know that there are some cinemas in Budapest where movies are screened in their original language? Check out Allee Shopping Mall’s cinema, and enjoy a movie in the comfort of a fluffy chair while munching on nachos or popcorn.
