i have been in budapest for four days with a couple of friends and it was great! we also stayed at atlantis, it's pretty nice and, as was said before (is that right? sorry for my english!), close to a public transport station. we were staying in budapest from monday-thursday, and although it is a big city we at first had some trouble finding a club that was actually open (or maybe we just asked the wrong people). since we didn't want to take a cab (for obvious reasons)and had plenty of time, we walked (!), all the way over to buda where we finally found a nice club, i think it was called 'Rio' or something, i don't quite remember. as i said it was a nice elegant club, but on that day there were more 'older' people there (i'm 18, so older is relative ) so after one cocktail we decided to move on and we found a place called 'Pardon', an outdoor club with different areas and hot guys .
the prices for the drinks seem to be very cheap at first sight (150 forinth for wodka-orange ->great), but they are PER CL!! so in the end you have to pay a lot more.
if you have trouble finding something, just ask people on the streets, they're all really friendly!

i didnt find budapest dodgy...or unsafe...to me it was just like any other city.

however i noticed a lot of people in budapest have dull faces, never smile, not so friendly and i know why...FORMER COMMUNIST COUNTRY! and not out of that era for that long either!

More about Hungary

Most people agree that as far as eastern European travel destinations go, Hungary tops the list. The nation is most definitely geared towards tourism, with classy resorts and hotels at all the important spots, but it has wisely averted the destruction of its traditional culture. Budapest draws most of the crowds, for obvious reasons.
