Nightlife of Budapest has shown such an explosive growth in the last 5 years that it’s impossible to track changes of the latest and greatest places. Much less to choose among them. The residents have the possibility to try out all of the bars and clubs, week after week, but if you spend only a few days in the Hungarian capital, we’re sure you would be happy to hear some tips.

Thanks to the first Budapest Nightlife Awards now you get a pretty good hint. City dwellers voted for their favorite bars and pubs and here comes the results. More than 100 registrants attended to the contest, more than 12 000 votes were cast, and more than 5,000 people voted. The best places according to the youth of Budapest are the following:
