About Us

Hidden gems team

We are a 5 person girl team, trying to make travelling to Budapest the adventure of your lifetime. This whole website started as a university project, where we had to create a website, for something we were interested in. At first we did not know where we would end up, but we all knew, that travelling was a passion we all shared. After discussing the main purpose of our website, we realized, that there is no website, on earth, that lists and gives short descriptions, about such places in cities, that are not overpacked by tourists. This is why we fell in love with this project. Our main goal is to help travelers make the best out of their stay in Budapest. We guarantee, that the Hidden gems website will be your best companion every step of the way!

Our team has put together an itinerary with carefully selected items, that will help you wonder around this beautiful city, just like a local. On our site you can find cozy coffee shops, lively bars and delightful restaurants, embodying the unique spirit of this city. Each place was carefully picked, they are true local favourites. Hidden Gems opens the door for authentic experiences and lifetime memories. Enjoy your journey through Budapest’s hidden treasures.

"The perfect website for wanderers, people looking for the unknown and travellers!"

Hidden Gems: Your Local Guide to Budapest’s Best-Kept Secrets

Our goal with Hidden Gems was not only to compile the best places of Budapest, but also to offer a unique opportunity to those who want to get to know the city more deeply.

The bars, coffee shops, restaurants, cultural places and local shops are all selected with this perspective in mind:

The carefully curated lists are based on how understated these places are. Not tourist traps or spots where there are no tables at lunch time or locations with unimaginable prices. We want our users to experience the city like a local, casually but throughly.

Our average customer rating is 4.8 / 5

Turbina was the highlight of my Budapest trip, all thanks to Hidden Gems Budapest! Coming from Barcelona, I love discovering underground music scenes, and Turbina delivered on every level. The venue had an edgy, industrial vibe with a mix of live bands and DJs playing everything from indie rock to electronic beats. The crowd was a mix of locals and travelers, all connected by the love of great music. The affordable drinks and friendly bartenders made it even better. Hidden Gems pointed me to this perfect night spot, and I can’t wait to return on my next visit!
