Pub Crawl

About the Budapest pub crawl

If you only have a couple of nights in Budapest, make them count by visiting some of the city’s best bars.

Your local guide will introduce your group to Budapest’s legendary nightlife. Whether you prefer fashionable venues, ruin bars or an underground atmosphere, the evening can be adapted to suit your group.

After four hours of bar-hopping, you’ll receive queue-free entry to one of Budapest’s top nightclubs, where you can continue partying for as long as you like.

It is the ideal introduction to Budapest nightlife and an easy way to avoid wasting time searching for the right venues.

How the pub crawl works

1. Your guide will meet the group at your accommodation or an agreed meeting point in central Budapest.
2. From there, you’ll begin a four-hour tour of bars selected according to your preferences, the season and what is happening in the city that evening.
3. At the end of the pub crawl, your guide will take you to a popular city-centre nightclub. Queue-free entry is included in the package.
4. Your guide will make sure the group is happy with the venue before leaving you to continue the night independently.

Transport is not included. Most venues will be within walking distance where possible, and your guide can help arrange taxis if required.
