Bloomberg: Budapest is a perfect place for Valentine’s Day

We’re not the only ones who think that Budapest is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway. Online magazine Bloomberg put together a list of The 26 best date spots around the world, which features Budapest.

Even the cover photo of the article depicts our capital.

The list is a global guide to romance, and covers everything from restaurants, boat rides to chartered flights. Regarding Budapest, they recommend booking a table in Borkonyha (Winekitchen). The Michelin-starred restaurant, few minutes away from Saint Stephen’s Basilica, specialise in local cuisine and Hungarian wines in the form of a bistro kitchen. “As for ordering, don’t be put off: Veal brains as a starter won’t ruin your evening.”

Before dinner, if it’s a weekday, they recommend walking through the Chain Bridge and going up to the Castle of Buda with the funicular. You can walk along the romantic streets of the Castle District, and then peer out from the Fisherman’s Bastion for one of the best views of Budapest. “Then get a predinner drink at the wine bar Divino, which has unbeatable views of the Basilica.”
