Nos a Hely Budapest
The tiny treasure trove is back
Iulia from Budapest
They say all women sooner or later turn into their mothers, but I seem to be on a crash course to turn into my grandmother first: I have inexplicably fallen in love with porcelain trinkets. Nicknamed ‘nipp’ in Hungarian, small porcelain objects were long associated with the dust-smelling living rooms of little old ladies alongside knitted tablecloths and slightly mold-tasting biscuits. They are however currently making a spectacular comeback, being reappraised as a piece of vintage nostalgia by the hip crowd.
I was therefore heartbroken when my tiny treasure trove of antique porcelain, Nos by Beans, took a break, but was recently delighted to discover that they are back, in a new location, in the very scenic area of Víziváros. Just as before, they have a carefully curated selection of vintage porcelain, mainly from iconic Hungarian brand Hollóházi Porcelán, alongside tableware, clothing, posters and jewelry from contemporary local designers. For the colder months, you can arm yourself with warm knitted headbands from Éviköt - Franziska Nemeth also makes delicate jewelry, perfect for the holiday gift season. The men needn’t worry either; they can stock up on T-shirts from local brands, and there’s always a whiskey glass or two to be found.
For the time being, the store operates as a pop-up, so be sure to pay them a visit and help them, and the local artists they support, survive in the long run.

The secret garden
In the place of a former canteen, a tapas bar opened, with the cute name of Arquitecto Pitpit, recalling the birds that often chirp in this leafy court.

Csendes Vintage Bar & Café
Surrealist blast
"Csendes Vintage Bar & Café" in Budapest means 'quiet' but the name is a bit misleading - it's a buzzy ruin bar without the rains & a comfortable eatery...

Oasis in Buda
There's a myriad of urban legends; claiming that it managed to swallow tanks during WW2 or that after the system change '89 dead bodies were washed ashore.

The Magic
Tasty Harry Potter experience
It does not look like Hogwarts, but rather a medieval castle where each part has a reference to an event or a place from the books of J. K. Rowling...

Zoo Cafe
Meet the animals
One of the ideas behind the place is to give a possibility for those who want to adopt an animal to try spending some time with them at the café.

Medieval Wall of Pest
The memory of the past
The first wall was erected around Pest in the 13th century, but it was soon deconstructed. Another wall around Pest was built a century later...
