If you are one of them, keep reading!
Just like a small festival – A 120-hour party in Instant
Instant never sleeps. At least it’s very rear that the most popular club in Budapest slams on the brakes, and this definitely not going to happen during the next couple of days. The ruin pub in Nagymező utca (Nagymező street) has already opened its doors for those who feel like spending the national holiday intoxicated and it’s only up to you if you miss out or not.

Szimpla kert organizes a farmers’ market on every Sunday in order to spread the word of healthy foods. However, every second Saturday in the oldest ruin pub of the city is dedicated to those who prefer to live their lives on two wheels. In Bikers’ market you can buy everything that is connected to your favorite activity and if you want, you can even sell your old gadgets. In this case, you have to contact Szimpla staff for more information.

Back in the days Erzsébet tér was called Vásártér (Market square). This weekend the parkin the middle of the city will be transformed into a real market, a must-attend for those who consider themselves treasure hunters, who want to sell something, who have nothing better to do and those who doesn’t want to go home after the party on Saturday.

This weekend is full of markets but this one is going to be different. Instead of mugs, paintings and books, this one is about pets and plants of every kind. The timing is perfect if you decide to buy or adopt a new family member, because during the long weekend you two will have plenty of time to get to know each other.

If you don’t want to be stuck in the crowd during one of the holiday’s official events, and staying home is definitely not an option either, you might want to consider hiding in one of the museums of Budapest. One of the advantages of this day is that on every national holiday (23rd of October, 20th of August and 15th of March) both the permanent and temporary exhibitions can be visited for free. This time, there are no excuses.
