"Threatening to overtake the thermal baths as the city’s best-known attraction, ruin bars are low-priced pubs housed inside the vast, dilapidated prewar buildings of the city’s old Jewish Quarter. Szimpla Kert — opened in 2003 and furnished with an array of flea-market bric-a-brac — was the genre’s pioneer. Despite its current status as a major tourist destination, it’s worth stopping in for a drink to see the impressive space for yourself. On Sunday mornings, the place transforms into a lively farmers market." - Tas Tobias
