Atop the former Paris Department Store, once the height of elegance on Budapest’s showcase boulevard of Andrássy út, the 360 Bar has set up eight themed igloos, each suitable for a party of eight. Equipped with a translucent exterior, each allows drinkers scenic panoramic views while keeping cosy and warm over mulled wine or cocktails.

Each igloo comes with its own furnishings, rugs, blankets, furry pillows, atmospheric lights, a small fireplace-like heater, music and, last but not least, theme. One is vintage, another done out like a ski chalet and while one allows you to sit in a tropical greenhouse surrounded by exotic plants as the outside world shivers in sub-zero temperatures.

Proven to be a huge success when introduced in 2017, the Igloo Garden is now a popular fixture on Budapest’s winter drinking calendar. Seasonal cocktails and snacks should be available while the igloos remain in operation, until around the end of February.
