The coolest community entertainment facilities in Budapest

According to vs.hu, the city is made up of small communities. Those who push pushchairs, who each other while running, people, who we seat the bus stop, at concerts each morning. Budapest is good because of these places. Some of them also chose names and try to organize themselves.

Obvious examples are Uber community service or Bubi bike rental operated by BKK. Both of them are community, but behind one of them are the millions of the American investors, and behind the other is a public company. But vs.hu was looking for other exciting initiatives.

Fairs from garments to jigsaws

Garazsvasarok (Garage fairs) Facebook group has 23 thousand members and the site engine shows us other useful sites. On such occasion, you can buy outgrown baby clothes, toys or redundant machine tools. Cloth fairs represent a separate category in the fairs. Facebook page of Gardrob (Wardrobe) has 11 thousand likes. They organize their events in front of the Godor (Pit). The weather can’t be so bad that Central Passage wouldn’t be crowded.

Not old, even better: a new

In addition to the WAMP, which has been working for a decade, the competitors appeared. Besides DIP Design – born as dizajnplacc (design square) – you can go to the Kulturzsibi, Gozsdu bazaar, moreover, Hungarian artists selling at Etsy craft fair site. The fairs provide a good excuse to spend our Saturday or Sunday morning, vs.hu says.

You can be farmer living in a block of flats

It is very hard to garden in a tenement in Budapest. But if someone wants to experiment, one can go to a community garden. You cannot really miss it: the Contemporary Architecture Center plans to develop three new gardens. In some of the districts of Budapest already has a place and community where you can go to learn. Not as easy as to jump to the grocery store back home, but it is much more exciting.

Do not just talk to the neighbors in the elevator!

A year ago, Miutcank.hu was the favorite of only the startup competitions, but now, the number of people who want to link local communities increased. After registration, you can get an own message board, if there are enough users in your area. Typically, the users in their twenties, thirties fill the board with questions and getting acquainted. Now, they even organize beer drinking. Miutcank is the first thing you need to register, if you move to a new location.

Do not get left out one toss

10 years passed since the first Hungarian edition of The Settlers of Catan. Until then, the number of the Hungarian fans grew enormously. If you do not have a stable team, you can find partners in the Jatszohaz (Playground) Facebook community. The group opened a player café, but they also come together several days a week.

To lay a cauldron

Restaurant Day – which is roughly the day of housing restaurants and amateur chefs – is onlye three times a day but it is always a party. On this day, anyone can open a restaurant if one can solve the cooking, food preparation, cooling, storage, washing up. The restaurant can be at home, at the park or at a pier set up to the Danube. The licenses must be obtained, of course, but pointing at the map of the earlier events, there is something to argue with.

Mass. Sport.

The Dagadt Kocsog (Fat Fag) movement – which organizes community runs – is a clear Budapest success story. Gergely Moos began doing sport regularly in 2010, when he was 124 kilos. A year later, he launched a blog about his lifestyle change. It was not a quick process, but in 2013, he could tell about losing weight as the leader of a 600-people team. Right now, DK-members are preparing for Vivicitta half marathon. Running events existed earlier and nor the sport club is a revolutionary idea. But do you know about a community which supports its members not to give up?
