One of the reason why Budapest got the nickname “the Paris of the East” was that at the turn of the century, similar to its Western cousin, the cultural life in cafés (kávéház in Hungarian literally meaning coffeehouse) flourished in every corner of the city. Would you have guessed that there were more than 400 cafés in Budapest during the Austro-Hungarian Empire?
The intellectuals, artists, writers and alike fancied to gather in their favourite coffeehouse and many important political and cultural ideas have been born next to a strong espresso. Nowadays, many of the most famous cafés have been restored to their original splendor and contemporary unique cafés are opening up in every district. We consider the ruin pub culture also a sort of revival of the same civil and cultural attitude.
