Need advice!

Hi!

No idea about nightlife.

Always call cabs by phone, never hail them on the street. Probably this thing alone makes it worth to get a pre-paid GSM card assuming you have a GSM capable cell phone.

15th of March is a national holiday, should provide entertaining :-)
You'll probably get warnings about nationalist protesters, and you can't be too careful of course, but IMHO the only people you should avoid during celebrations/demonstrations are the same people you would avoid after sports events or biker's pubs.

Nobody minds tourists, really.

Hi Paco31 and welcome to Budapest. I do not know about clubs,but I can tell you that people are going to clubs even Thursday night,not only in weekend.

CityTaxi is a reliable taxi company ,I always use it to the airport or even in the city.

It is good to buy a pre-paid card to call from your cell the taxi company you want to colect you where ever you are in the city ,so it is quite easy to order a taxi.

Have an umbrella with you or apropiate clothes since May might be rainy.

All the best
Girlie

What is the most popular place/pub/club?
What are the club where studients like to go out?
Where to listen live music?
Do Budapest people go out on thursday night or only during the week-end?
Is it easy to find taxi cab to come back at home?


Many thanks.

All the best!

Check out the internet magazinee Funzine.hu and XPatLoop.com, both of which have a wealth of information re: nightlife, transportation, etc. Budapest is a lively city, and every night there is something happening. Other advice re: taxis is good - always call first. City taxi is best. Come and have a wonderful time.
