Most people have to wait in long lines and pay cover charges when visiting Budapest’s best nightclubs, but anyone carrying the new CityCard no longer needs to worry about these hassles – every cardholder and their partner can just walk right into hotspots like Ötkert, Trafiq, and Hello Baby, and also enjoy deep discounts at several popular local restaurants. Check out how CityCard can change your nightlife!

Designed to provide maximum access and savings for visitors who want to go out on the town in Hungary’s capital, CityCard Budapest literally opens many doors that can be difficult to enter otherwise, even for locals. The CityCard is available in three versions – Bronze, Silver, and Gold – and each of them provide the cardholder and a partner with priority entrance for no entry fee to every nightspot participating in the program (including Budapest’s premier gentlemen’s clubs, P1 and P2), saving considerable time and money before the partying even begins.

Having a CityCard entitles its holder to several VIP-caliber privileges, and it almost immediately pays for itself while offering the potential for saving hundreds of euros. When someone purchases a CityCard they receive drink coupons at participating clubs that are worth almost the entire price of the card – a Bronze card costs 55 euros and gives holders 50 euros’ worth of drinks, a Silver card costs 105 euros while providing 100 euros in drink coupons, and the Gold card costs 205 euros and grants its users with 200 euros in drink vouchers. Those with Silver cards also receive free welcome shots and table reservations at most clubs, while those with Gold cards receive a free bottle of Prosecco and VIP table reservations at most clubs.

Providing even more value, anyone showing their CityCard receives a 20% discount for themselves and a partner at several popular restaurants and hangouts of Hungary’s capital, including Buda’s historic Hadik coffeehouse (a favorite of many legendary Magyar writers and artists) and the funky Szatyor bar and gallery next door, or visit cool culinary destinations in Pest like the colorful Ráday Street eatery Púder, the authentic Italian-food hotspot Trattoria Gusto, and the warmly welcoming Doblo Wine Bar. Between the restaurant discounts and the VIP-entry privileges, anyone who wants to plan a perfect date in Budapest will find that easy to do with a CityCard in hand.

CityCards are available at many hotels across Budapest, and also at participating clubs and restaurants. Check out the CityCard Budapest website for complete details and affiliated destinations.
