Rooftop Bars

Sitting pretty on top of the Hotel President, this terrace gives you a front-row seat to the tiled rooftops of the National Treasury, with the Parliament dome photobombing in the background. Order a spritz, line up your sunset shot, and let Budapest do the rest.

Settle into a sofa, order a cocktail (or three), and watch the Danube light up while Buda Castle keeps an eye on you. It’s rooftop lounging done right.

Owned by the very man who caters for the Oscars every year, it has no shortage of breathtaking views or unannounced visits from Hollywood stars. The drinks are by no means cheap, but well worth a visit. As for all rooftop bars, book in advance!
