The urban buzz is especially strong in downtown Pest’s District VII, home of the now-world-famous "ruin pub" along with offbeat design stores, specialty street food, and modern-art galleries – but this area is also revered as Budapest’s historic Jewish Quarter, featuring Europe’s biggest synagogue.
Vittula is an underground place – both literally and figuratively. Found behind a nondescript doorway leading to steep stairs down into the cellar, Vittula has graffiti-covered walls, experimental DJs, and cheap drinks that attract all kinds of folks, from students to artsy hipsters to tattooed rockabilly aficionados. This cherished dive bar is all about fun and enjoying life to the fullest, so to get a unique Budapest nightlife experience, don’t be afraid to descend into Vittula.
