ASÍ SON los RUIN BAR de BUDAPEST | BUDAPEST #1

Start a new journey this time we are in Budapest the capital of Hungary for Take a short two-day express trip to visit what is only the city If you watched the previous vlog were in Prague and have flown here from there This afternoon so we have already arrived since we left the things at the hotel and such It's getting dark so let's do a night visit today rough the city and then calmly discover all the most interesting spots tomorrow Do whatever we have time for so let's start our hotel is very close It is in the center so we won't waste much time on commuting it's close Andras and Utka which is like the main road the main street so we came here There's a little park that's really cool because now at the end of summer it's so nice There's like a fair there's a big Ferris wheel and there's like a market with different things Handicraft stalls food truck-style food and such so it's very good And there's a really cool atmosphere now even on weekdays as you can still see it's vacation time Well there are quite a few people around and now we're in a square that's all pretty busy commercial that is there is a shopping mall here there are luxury hotels like the Ritz The Ritz-Carton and the Four Seasons is also not far from here there are many shops many traditional cuisine restaurants but also these more globalized ones so That's great there's something for everyone around here and nothing else let's explore this area They are going to the river part to see what the Chain Bridge is like The most famous thing here is nothing just enjoy today maybe have dinner somewhere if possible We're hungry so let's see what we can find And this is our room it's a bit strange I mean I think they have here they are all super old buildings meaning everything is Soviet-era communist architecture so old buildings very gray all concrete and then inside like tha It's all happening now as they gradually renovate according to what comes up so by the way then For example these rooms are like very tall plants and have made different ones We are in a room with a low ceiling that's why And in fact it's hollow meaning they've improvised different rooms like barracks And this is our room here is the bed with the ceiling and here we have a piece of furniture With a couple of towels and that's it the ceilings are just a couple of meters high so they are quite low Little shoes so if they are very high well you might still bump into things or feel a bit claustrophobic The bathrooms are shared This is the bathroom and the shower and such the toilet everything is good it's strange I mean this is This is the third time I'm here in Budapest and the places are always like this I mean Don't book a fancy hotel they are much more lacking especially if You're coming now in summer which is the most popular time so you're sure to find what you're looking for See this or in other words everything is guided by codes and so on with super old elevators This is the entrance well this is the floor what's the portal what's the A room divided into six parts and here the elevator that works very well roll We have the stairs everything seems freshly painted everything just renovated what will happen next And here it says you are going to die In the end we've been walking around the area where were having restaurants So more commercial we had dinner at a place called Seven whatever it was one of those The burger place and the truth is that it's really good in the end well we ended up falling for the site The one that was closest and looked good and the prices weren't crazy either And the truth is that it's very good they were burgers that were a bit different because they're very good They were rich and on top of that they had mac and cheese they had macaroni and cheese inside So it's a burger bomb but we've filled up quite a bit and then we have Driven north and went to a dive bar called Simple Kurt and the dive bars ey are a series of places that have become trendy in recent years that started About 10 to 15 years ago they were simply places where young people would hang out In 2010 they were looking for places where they could drink quietly without having to go to crowded spots They would have to be very expensive or to clubs then to have places where they could They then took over places that had been abandoned after that era so they took one that was very abandoned Of these in this case the Simple Kurt which is the first of them and they started to decorate them At your taste or with very alternative themes all with paintings graffiti posters and such and then they would decorate it with everything they found because it was in the tras Whether second-hand or from flea markets and so they were collecting all that stuff and decorating with it So the place is like a ruin and that's why it's called "ruin bar" because it's like a ruin of a mixture Everyone at once the walls are badly painted and that's why it has that very alternative vibe The issue is that with so little time they started to become very popular and to this day they are There are already a lot of ruin bars in the city especially super touristy ones But this is the Simple Kurt as it was the first it remains the most popular And it's the most touristy place now we've been there at night and on a Tuesday and it's unbelievable The number of people inside there is a lot of space in general There are many places where you can order to drink and even to eat And if you find yourselves very overwhelmed because many people want to eat next to you as you come out there is a A place called Caravan which is like a market of small stalls like food trucks with a lot of food From different food stalls serving hamburgers hot dogs goulash and some more typical food From the area well you can have dinner or eat somewhere and then go to the ruin bar to drink You can just be there quietly if there aren't many people you can be there settled in Some place so nothing else we'll be closing for today as we need to rest and then tomorrow We kicked off the morning with a city tour Okay we're back on track soon visiting the city of Budapest this is the start This is the third time I am visiting this city and for me it is one of the most beautiful in Europe Above is from the old imperial era it has all that charm of the time especially in the par It is the oldest because today much of the city you are seeing comes from the past Soviet communist which is why many of the buildings are the typical ones that can be Also see Eastern Europe Russia and such old gray concrete buildings It has little detail and is good in the city of Budapest today it is one city but until recently More than 100 years until 1875 these were two cities divided by the Danube River The famous Danube River that divides the two parts of the city and until then was the city of Buda and the city of Pest is the part that is to the north where we are Staying where most hotels are is usually where the majority is Things to do restaurants shops commercial area party all that is in the area of The plague is on the part of Buddha which is also the residential area where the most historical part is located The Buda Castle the Fishermen's Bastion places we are going today Then it's highly recommended to visit both parts to get a more complete picture of everything it can offer so nothing are we already tha In the area of Buddha we have crossed the bridge there is a bridge that is very famous the Bridge of the Buddha The closed chain is the one that is most directly connected which is the bridge that is He built it in 1875 when the two parts of the city were joined for the first time but tha The bridge is closed right now because it is being renovated so it's a shame because it is a This is a very beautiful bridge so hopefully when you come it will already be open and you can visit it from the riverbank to climb up to the upper area where the Buddha castle is located where It is the fishermen's stronghold you can do it in several ways I think I don't know if there is a bus It reaches up there but I imagine there will be some public transportation that gets close If you can't come by foot or if that option isn't available anymore which is the one we chose It's quite hot and it's only like nine or ten in the morning so use the cable car if possible You'll see the bridge of the chains straight ahead going in a bit A funicular that costs about 3 000 florins person for a round trip so nothing else We are waiting for it to depart and now we will go up to the top
