Budapest, the capital city of Hungary, has become more and more famous for its amazing nightlife and pub culture. The ruin bar phenomenon is well-known, however, there is a special form of pubs emerging from the nightlife scene, the rooftop bars. These open air bars provide you with an amazing view while drinking your favourite beverages.
The A38 boat used to be a Soviet stone-carrier ship, now a cultural centre, is located on the Buda side of the Danube river at the Southern part of the city center. It might seem to be far from the centre, but it can easily be reached by trams nr. 4 or 6, that run 24 hours. Voted the best bar in the world by Lonely Planet in 2011, the boat clearly keeps up with the expectations. Its main area can host up to 600 visitors and has had world-famous acts performed upon its stage. The other areas include a restaurant and two bars upon the deck and the roof. From the rooftop terrace, you can get a beautiful view of both the Buda and the Pest side of the city, including the Citadel, the National Theatre, and the Palace of Arts.
The prices of draught beers range between 2 and 3 Euros, wines can be bought by the bottle or in glasses, costing 1-2 Euros/dl.
