Work off that duck by heading
across Erzsébet Bridge and
up Gellért Hill, where you’ll
find an outstanding view
of the city. It’s particularly
magical at sunset, when locals
and visitors alike flock there
to admire Budapest in all its
glory. The walled area at the
top is known as the Citadella;
after the failed revolution
of 1848, it was built by the
Habsburgs to keep watch over
the restless Hungarians.
As evening falls, head to the
city’s up-and-coming 8th
district for drinks, which is
rapidly transforming into one
of its most dynamic areas.
Once there, let the welcoming
and knowledgeable staff
at Cintanyeros guide you
through the wide world of
Hungarian wines. Somewhat
neglected during the
communist era in favor of
mass production, Hungarian
wine is back in a big way. Try
a dry white Furmint from the
Tokaj region in northeastern
Hungary or a red from the
volcanic plains of Villány.
6:31 PM
For dinner, there’s no
better way to experience
Hungary’s rich cuisine than
at Rosenstein’s, also in the
8th district. Tucked away on
a street near Keleti railway
station, the food is classic
Hungarian-Jewish and an
absolute treat. The menu is
extensive and has something
for everyone (except, perhaps,
vegetarians), though one to aim
for would be its sólet, a tasty
Hungarian take on the Jewish
bean stew, cholent.
End the night back at your
hotel, the Párisi Udvar Hotel
Budapest, for a nightcap
at Párisi Passage Brasserie.
We recommend ordering
the “Midnight in Budapest,”
a special cocktail experience
made from a combination
of Martell VSOP cognac,
Márton és Lányai apple
palinka aged five years, pear,
honey, rosemary and caramel.
Egészségedre — to your health!
