Last year, We Love Budapest first dabbled in occult practices beyond comprehension to prophesize what occasions would occur in Hungary’s capital during 2015… and while we ended up being wrong about almost everything, that won’t stop us from once again toying with forces we don’t understand in 2016! Drawing on the mystical omens of recent days and months, we predict events to come in Budapest during this new year:

1/6

The arrival of a new Ice Age

The early-January cold snap turns out to be only the first blast of a new Ice Age. Budapest city officials quickly change their bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics to instead host the 2018 Winter Olympics.

2/6

Budapest’s first luxury ruin pub opens

The first luxury ruin pub opens in spring of 2016, featuring valet bicycle parking, crumbling gold-brick walls, craft champagne on tap, and bathroom graffiti by Banksy, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring.

3/6

Michelin stars for Budapest street-food eateries

Budapest’s newest Michelin stars are awarded to street-food restaurants TöLTő, Buja Disznó(k), and BAOTIFUL. It becomes almost impossible to reserve a table at any of these eateries, mostly because none of them really have tables.

4/6

Beard grooming becomes a growth industry

As long facial hair becomes increasingly popular among Budapest’s hipsters, professional beard-grooming services quickly become one of the city’s fastest-growing industries.

5/6

Budapest’s first vegan butcher shop opens

The first-ever vegan butcher’s shop opens in downtown Pest, selling meat-free versions of assorted Hungarian delicacies like blood sausage, veal tongue, and pork brains.

6/6

Christmas fairs open earlier than ever

The city’s collection of outdoor Christmas fairs continues to expand dramatically, with more of them opening in new locations and earlier than ever before; one of the first takes place at the 2016 Sziget Festival.
