Bubi Budapest
Bikes all around the city
Wherever you walk in Budapest, there are Bubi bike stations everywhere! Isn't it wonderful?!
Anyone can rent a bike pretty much anywhere and anytime for only a little money. The distances in Budapest are not to be underestimated, and since I’m not a fan of cars or public transportation, I find it amazing that newly prepared Bubi bikes are all around the city, waiting to be taken for a ride. Their vivid green colour makes them easy to recognize.
The concept is simple: similar to many other cities' city bikes, first, you download the app, register, and hop on the bike. When you had enough, take it to a nearby Bubi spot from your destination. Cycling is a good way to avoid traffic jams in the inner city, and it saves time and money while getting to places very quickly. If, for instance, you buy a monthly ticket for less than 3 Euros, you can use the bike for an entire month. On each occasion, you need to put it back to any station within half an hour — after 30 minutes of continuous use, slight additional costs are incurred.
On sunny days, it's sometimes tricky to find bikes if you don’t check in advance.

GoodSpirit Whisky Bar
The perfect evening out
Their gin-based signature cocktail is my absolute number one. It's called “Ramos Gin Fizz” and it’s pure magic in a glass. It never, ever disappoints.
