Carpe Diem Night Club

I was in Budapest a couple of days ago and unfortunately a short weekend was enough for me to have some pretty bad experiences in the centre, on Váci street to be exact. The first evening I came across two girls who started talking to me on the street, saying they were tourists and needed directions. Of course I told them it was my first time there too and so we started chatting. They suggested getting something to drink now that we’d become such good friends, because they knew a nice place nearby where we could go. I said yes and that cost me exactly 200 Euros. The girls turned out to be employees of the bar and their job is to chat up tourists and take them there for drinks. The prices are so high that after only a few rounds you’re already at 2-300 Euros. Of course by distracting you all the time, they make sure you don’t have a moment to take a glance at the price list. So that was that. My other negative experience was at a club called Carpe Diem, also found on Váci street. Here all these drinks I never had ended up being included on my bill. A girl joined me at my table, bringing a drink with her, after which she soon received another one, definitely not ordered by me. They made me pay for both of these drinks at the end, even though I never invited her for anything. So if you travel to Budapest, be very careful in the Váci street area, because you can easily get tricked. Allegedly there are several places like this there with a proper squad of girls hunting for tourists..

Everybody be careful with this one! The catch is that it’s right in the middle of downtown Budapest, on Váci Street, and because of this many tourists fall victim to this place. Don’t let them fool you like we did, because even though the man outside who invites people in says a beer costs only HUF 1000 you’ll be lucky to end up paying less than 300 Euros. So stay away from this place. anyway, I’ve heard that because of many similar cases Budapest police had the place closed down many times, but somehow it keeps reopening.

you won’t see the locals coming here, that’s for sure. I met after hungarian people who told me this place is working only to ripp off foreign tourists. so be careful!

we got into a pretty messy argument, because they wanted us to pay for drinks we never ordered. wouldn’t recommend it to anyone…

As far as I know it was closed for a long time because they kept ripping people off.

when this bouncer guy got us in here I felt like I was in Istanbul, and afterwards we ended up paying the double of what our bill should have been :(
