Holdudvar Budapest
Since 2006 Holdudvar in Budapest is located on Margit sziget instead of the university. If you enter Margit sziget from Margit bridge you have to walk about 500m into the island and you will see the lights of Holdudvar which they became famous for (See picture below).
The place is quiet cool as it is an old house renovated very good in the middle of the island. Actually the place is the same except from the nice university wall surounding the place. In my eyes Holdudvar in Budapest is a little bit too large so it is hard that some kind of party feeling gets up. In the old Holdudvar you were standing almost on your neighbours feet so you had to do what the people around you did… dance.
By now Holdudvar also offers a lot of different kind of food so it almost became a restaurant during the day time and the early evening. Nevertheless it is still one of the coolest open air places in Budapest and definetly worth a visit.
Adress: Margit sziget, entrance Margit island

Written in Open AirChaChaCha Terasz
Margit island party!
Cahchacha Terasz Budapest is the summer residence of Chachacha Underground Cafe which used to be on at Kalvin square and is near Nyugati now. The best way to reach Chachacha Terasz is to enter Margit island at Margit bridge. From there you walk approx. 200m and on the left side you will find the entrance. The Chachacha Terasz is an open air price with a very nice ambience and fantastic music. The party starts at around 1 at night when the club starts to get crowded. The prices for drinks are below average and the staff is very friendly.
We highly recommend Chachacha Terasz as well as Chachacha Underground Cafe in winter.
Retro Beach
Retro party at the danube shore!
Retro Beach Budapest opened in summer 2006. It is located right next to Buddha Beach. The two clubs are connected to each other and the entrance is free. Retro Beach is kept in retro style as the name tells already. The audience is the same as in Buddha Beach, mixed in age with a lot of beautiful women. There is a good reason for suspicion that Retro Beach and Buddha Beach belong together.

West Balkan in Budapest is different. It is an inside place to sit and drink a beer with friends at the same time it is a beergarden to drink a beer as well or you just go down in the basement and dance. The open air part is very nice at West Balkan. Formerly it used to be a backyard of some house in Budapest. Now chairs and tables offer plenty of places to sit, talk, drink.
Written in Mixed, Open AirBudapest Girl
Beautiful and friendly!
The typical Budapest girl stereotype is blond, tall, has plastic surgery breasts and dresses very well. Of course this type of girl runs around in Budapest but not every Budapest girl looks like that of course. What kind of girl you see depends on where you go. If you go in trendy clubs in Budapest, to the nightclubs in Budapest or to big events you will of course find exactly this type of Budapest girl everybody is talking about. Don’t think these pictures are something special in Budapest. This is how a girl in Budapest goes out, this is how they dress and this is how they behave. Additionally these girls look like typical Budapest escort girls. Of course there are others but the girls you see here you can find in nearly any club in Budapest. Sometimes you can also find them in Budapest hotels. Not just because of the girls Budapest is one of the nicest cities around the world. A trip to Budapest is always recommended. Now check the pictures of the beautiful Budapest Girls.

Relax, watch a movie and have a beer
The Szimpla kert or Szimpla kertmozi is a mixture of an open air place, a pub and a cinema.

Holdudvar on Margit Sziget
As you can read on the main page Holdudvar is on margit sziget now due to construction work at the old place. Has someone been there? I did not have the chance up to now to go there. Is it good? I heard it is not as good as it was before. I liked the flair of Holdudvar but honestly I cannot imagine that it is nearly as good as it was. At the moment I prefer West Balkan to go out. You have everything there, sit and drink, outside as well as inside, and a dancefloor. I guess as soon as it gets warmer I will try out the new Holdudvar but I need a plan B if it is shit. What else is on margit sziget. Chachacha terasz is OK but not as cool as the winter chachacha, Copacabbana… well not my style actually. We will see. First the weather has to change.
