DEC 6, 2017 | TRAVEL GUIDE

I am getting into the airport limousine: “What is the best place to stay in Budapest for the unforgettable nightlife experience?” — this is how I start the conversation with my driver while he is taking me to the lively and colorful, Budapest VII Erzsébetváros (The 7th). He couldn’t agree more that Erzsébetváros is the ultimate cultural hub of Budapest, and when in the capital of Hungary, it’s the best place to stay if you want lively nightlife, vibrancy, and lot of history!

Even though the area is rich in trendy cafés, wine bars, beautiful restaurants, and shops, there is one particular thing in Budapest’s VII district which is worth visiting at least once, and those are the ‘ruin pubs.’
