Thanks to a new collection of amazing 360° photos freely available online, we can admire all of the wonderfully weird decorations that make Budapest’s beloved ruin pubs a true Magyar curiosity, all while simply sitting in front of our computer. Kolivri took the panoramic pictures of many ruin pubs in Budapest, inviting everyone on a voyage into virtual reality to check out every inch of these laid-back locales through their slowly spinning images, which you can speed up and control using the mouse of your computer, or even whirl in speedy circles for an authentically intoxicating experience.

As another step forward in the revolution of virtual reality, 360°pictures are becoming more and more popular, due to the wonderfully wide assortment of cutting-edge technologies available. The fresh website Kolivri specializes in taking 360° panorama pictures and videos, and now – as we found out from Digital Hungary – we can take a virtual tour at the world-famous ruin pubs of Budapest. These pictures are very useful for first-time visitors to Hungary’s capital, as it helps the process of picking out a perfect binging place – but discovering never-before-seen details of these one-of-a-kind hangouts provides an interesting experience even if you already had a few pints at these ruin pubs.

Kolivri shared the photos of ten ruin pubs, including Szimpla Kert, Fogas Ház, Liebling’s roof terrace, Mazel Tov, Anker’t, and Ellátó Kert. Upon clicking on the picture of a place, the image comes to life as the camera angle slowly starts to spin, but you can take control over the image with your mouse, and check out details that you wouldn’t ordinarily notice while sipping on drinks, such as the bicycle hanging from the ceiling at Ellátó Kert.
