Going Budapest before Dimensions. Anyone ever been? Where is good to go?

I´ve been there a couple of times. Really nice city! You should def check a couple of thermal baths (Széchenyi, Gellért, Lukács, Rudas, etc)

It's fucking wicked!

Buda is beautiful but a bit touristy! Pest is much more vibrant and you'll probably spend most of your time there.

They have some amazing tea bars, cool places to chill if you want a bit of an alternative to drinking beer in bars. They're kind of like Amsterdam coffee shops but instead with, er, amazing tea!

These two I particularly enjoyed (both in Pest)

1000 Tea - http://www.1000tea.hu/

Darjeeling Indian Teahouse - VII district 1077 Budapest, Wesselényi utca 4

yo Drizzt - Salvatore fan?: )

check out the a38 boat they have an afternoon thing from 4pm - 10pm. open air chilling + drinks on a boat while locals play - sound is pretty cool and theres usually something on the boat from 10pm - can range from techno to alternative but they will have flyers hanging around.

Every wednesday theres a night called "Rewind" which is like a mixed night, early on it's more chilled stuff then after midnight it's proper rinseout mixed genre crazyness but it's pretty much in the centre / cheap / and you can chill @ the roof of a building in case the music is not your thing. It's at the already mentioned 'Corvin Teto'

another popular place is Szimpla, it's one of those condemned bulding bar thingies which Budapest has loads of but this ones the most popular - http://www.szimpla.hu/budapest/home?Itemid=22

Akvarium - middle of the centre aswell, half open air / half club (but the club part sucks so I'd just stay outside) usually loads of people prices are decent

Cabs :

Max Taxi - http://maxtaxi.hu/
Taxi Plus - http://www.taxiplus.hu/

these are the cheapest and they usually have english speaking operators
I'd advice against getting random cabs on the street cause they usually go berzerk when they clock you're a tourist.. it's annoying.

Basically where ever you wan't to go, if you don't go too far from the centre you should never pay more than 3000 (thats less than 10 pounds) and even that's usually with a nice tip so watch that.

if you have any more questions drop 'em in here and i'll get back to you - nice1!

going 2moro. this thread interests me immensely.

edit: especially good taxi tips. that's the sort of shit I get caught out on!
