Activities

Board Games and Sport equipments to borrow at the reception for a deposit 🙂 For the Pub Crawl and other activites, you can buy the tickets at the reception 🙂 Check out the options below:

Board Games:

Spicy (2-6 players, 15 minutes)

Spicy is a bluffing card game for 2-6 players. The cards are played face down, so you can cheat when you announce your card. That said, this clever card game isn’t just about bluffing for you can almost always play a card that is at least half right if you cleverly play your hand. This means tactically deciding which card to use to get through: Do I play a “Pepper 10” or a color wild on a “Wasabi 9” and declare it a “Wasabi 10”? Or do I better pass because surely someone has noticed me thinking for so long now?

The Mind (2-6 players, 20 minutes)

The Mind is more than just a game. It’s an experiment, a journey, a team experience in which you can’t exchange information, yet will become one to defeat all the levels of the game.

In more detail, the deck contains cards numbered 1-100, and during the game you try to complete 12, 10, or 8 levels of play with 2, 3, or 4 players. In a level, each player receives a hand of cards equal to the number of the level: one card in level 1, two cards in level 2, etc. Collectively you must play these cards into the center of the table on a single discard pile in ascending order but you cannot communicate with one another in any way as to which cards you hold. You simply stare into one another’s eyes, and when you feel the time is right, you play your lowest card. If no one holds a card lower than what you played, great, the game continues! If someone did, all players discard face up all cards lower than what you played, and you lose one life.

Welcome To… You Perfect Home (1-100 players, 25 minutes)

As an architect in Welcome To…, you want to build the best new town in the United States of the 1950s by adding resources to a pool, hiring employees, and more.

Welcome To… plays like a roll-and-write dice game in which you mark results on a score-sheet…but without dice. Instead you flip cards from three piles to make three different action sets with both a house number and a corresponding action from which everyone chooses one. You use the number to fill in a house on your street in numerical order. Then you take the action to increase the point value of estates you build or score points at the end for building parks and pools. Players also have the option of taking actions to alter or duplicate their house numbers. And everyone is racing to be the first to complete public goals. There’s lots to do and many paths to becoming the best suburban architect in Welcome To…!

Kingdomino (2-4 players, 15-25 minutes)

In Kingdomino, you are a lord seeking new lands in which to expand your kingdom. You must explore all the lands, including wheat fields, lakes, and mountains, in order to spot the best plots, while competing with other lords to acquire them first.

The game uses tiles with two sections, similar to Dominoes. Each turn, each player will select a new domino to connect to their existing kingdom, making sure at least one of its sides connects to a matching terrain type already in play. The order of who picks first depends on which tile was previously chosen, with better tiles forcing players to pick later in the next round. The game ends when each player has completed a 5×5 grid (or failed to do so), and points are counted based on number of connecting tiles and valuable crown symbols.

Manual: https://www.gamesweb.dk/spilleregler/kingdomino_eng.pdf

Captain Sonar (2-8 players, 45 minutes)

In Captain Sonar, you and your teammates control a state-of-the-art submarine and are trying to locate an enemy submarine in order to blow it out of the water before they can do the same to you. Every role is important, and the confrontation is merciless. Be organized and communicate because a captain is nothing without his crew: the Chief Mate, the Radio Operator, and the Engineer.

All the members of a team sit on one side of the table, and they each take a particular role on the submarine, with the division of labor for these roles being dependent on the number of players in the game: One player might be the captain, who is responsible for moving the submarine and announcing some details of this movement; another player is manning the sonar in order to listen to the opposing captain’s orders and try to decipher where that sub might be in the water; a third player might be working in the munitions room to prepare torpedoes, mines and other devices that will allow for combat.

Captain Sonar can be played in two modes: turn-by-turn or simultaneous. In the latter set-up, all the members of a team take their actions simultaneously while trying to track what the opponents are doing, too. When a captain is ready to launch an attack, the action pauses for a moment to see whether a hit has been recorded — then play resumes with the target having snuck away while the attacker paused or with bits of metal now scattered across the ocean floor.

Manual: https://www.matagot.com/IMG/pdf/SONAR_RULES_EN_lr.pdf

Dixit Odyssey (3-12 players, 30 minutes)

Dixit Odyssey is both a standalone game and an expansion (Dixit: Odyssey (expansion) for Jean-Louis Roubira’s Dixit, which won Germany’s Spiel des Jahres award in 2010.

Game play in Dixit Odyssey matches that of Dixit: Each turn one player is the storyteller. This player secretly chooses one card in his hand, then gives a word or sentence to describe this card—but not too obviously. Each other player chooses a card in hand that matches this word/sentence and gives it to the storyteller. The storyteller then lays out the cards, and all other players vote on which card belongs to the storyteller. If no one or everyone guesses the storyteller’s card, the storyteller receives no points and all players receive two; otherwise the storyteller and the correct guesser(s) each receive three points. Players score one point for each vote their image receives. Players refill their hands, and the next player becomes the storyteller. When the deck runs out, the player with the most points wins.

Our Communist tour Budapest provides our guests with an interesting first-hand account of life before and after the Iron Curtain was present and it helps to understand the local way of living, you do not only see the city from a tourist’s viewpoint. The walk starts with a historical summary and then our local guides and the undercover stories reveal interesting facts about traveling, housing, religious life, education, media, propaganda, sport, healthcare, religion, economy under Communism and they compare this with the post-Communist era as well. The tour provides a clear picture about what everybody over 30 years lived through and how it affects current attitudes of locals. Not a lot of time has passed since Communism ended in Hungary, only one generation has grown up since the regime change which happened in 1989 peacefully and it takes a lot more time to change the thinking and attitude of people.

Budapest Must-Sees

On September 15, 2022 by flowspaces - Budapest Must-Sees

For a really cool guide we recommend this original article of Time Out Magazine that this selection is based on. Also, we can’t recommend enough our partner with their really fun and free walking tours. Don’t forget to grab their brochure that includes not just the tour options but a really handy map of the city at the reception!

Castle District

Buda Castle

Buda Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and contains the Hungarian National Gallery, the Castle Museum, and the National Széchenyi Library.

Fisherman’s Bastion

Built between 1895 and 1902 to celebrate the 1000th birthday of the Hungarian state, the Fisherman’s Bastion is an impressive neo-Gothic viewing terrace situated on the Buda bank of the Danube, on Castle Hill. For unforgettable views in a fairy-tale setting, there’s nowhere better. Climb the ornate turrets and peep at boats bobbing lazily down the Danube before popping into one of the city’s most famous patisseries, the 200-year-old Ruszwurm Confectionery, while you’re up there.

The Funicular

The funicular railway is a short cable car that links Adam Clark Square and the Széchenyi Chain Bridge at river level to Buda Castle above.

Jewish Quarter/Party Disctrict

Budapest’s buzzy Jewish Quarter (also known as the seventh district) is the city’s epicentre of cool, packed with all the edgiest bars, cafés and restaurants. Your nights out will start and end here, with popular clubbing spots like Szimpla Kert offering takeaway treats and techno till the early hours. The Jewish Quarter also boasts many of the city’s best food spots – for 24-hour snacks check out the Street Food Karavan or Kőleves, a Hungarian-Jewish spot with an eclectic menu.

Szimpla Kert

Take a huge, dilapidated building with an open courtyard and a labyrinth of rooms, adorn it with eclectic furniture, edgy artwork and mind-bending communist memorabilia, and you’ve got the city’s most famous (and most atmospheric) ‘ruin bar’, Szimpla Kert.

Dohány Street Synagogue

Opened in 1859, Budapest’s Great Synagogue is Europe’s largest place of Jewish worship (and the second biggest in the world. The stunning architecture and interior décor are worth the trip alone, but a visit to the Great Synagogue (aka Tabakgasse Synagogue) also aims to guide visitors through the history of Jews in Hungary. Inside you’ll find the Hungarian Jewish Museum & Archives and the Holocaust Tree of Life Memorial.

St Stephen’s Basilica

Basically at the edge of jewish quarter, the largest church in Budapest, it can hold up to 8,500 people and is one of Hungary’s most iconic structures.The mummified right hand of St Stephen, the patron saint of the church and first king of Hungary, is kept in a glass case to the left of the main altar. And if that doesn’t turn you on, just check out all that monumental neoclassical architecture. The Basilica’s star feature is the 96-metre-high dome, lined on the inside with ornate religious reliefs. Once you’ve had a little wander, why not take in the impressive views from the cupola?

The dark side of history

House of Terror

Number 60, Andrássy Avenue once inspired fear as the headquarters of the secret police, but since 2002 this ominous townhouse has housed a poignant museum commemorating the victims of the fascist and communist regimes. The museum spans four floors and contains a curious collection that blends installations with interactive screens that allow you to listen to first-hand accounts from survivors. The most fascinating part is the basement, where the fascist Arrow Cross Party once interned political prisoners. That’s a fairly liberal use of the word ‘fascinating’, but you get the point.

Memento Park

An open-air park that displays statues, plaques and memorabilia from Hungary’s Communist period. See some enormous statues of Communist leaders like Lenin, Marx and Engels and learn about Hungary under Stalin’s dictatorship, all while soaking up the sun. There’s also a cinema where you can watch very unsettling old propaganda films.

Some other iconic places

Szechenyi Spa Baths

By day, the Szechenyi Baths are an oasis of calm in bustling Budapest, with luxury spa treatments, saunas, and massages in the grandeur of a sprawling 20th-century Turkish building. But on a weekend night? Well, it turns into something altogether more debauched: the Sparty. If you want to be pampered and preened, head to Szechenyi during the day. If it’s a wet and wild night you’re after, wait until night falls for the Sparties. The brainchild of a famed Hungarian party producer, these night-time raves offer unlimited alcohol, live electronic music, and an anything-goes atmosphere in the water. The choice is yours.

Margaret Island

Budapest’s most impressive green space, Margaret Island is a 2.5km-long island of quiet parkland on the Danube, linked to Buda and Pest by bridges at either end. It’s tranquil, secluded and mainly free to explore. Grab a book and chill in the rose garden, or sun yourself by the waterfall in the Japanese garden. There’s also a spectacular musical fountain near Margaret Bridge, which comes alive four times a day, plus a small zoo and a few cafes.

Great Market Hall

The Great Market Hall is a restored neo-Gothic tunnel where you can pick up the best local produce and handicrafts. For the superb architecture and a total sensory overload, or to source some one-of-a-kind souvenirs and sample unfamiliar Hungarian delicacies. From pickles and fresh veg to meat, seafood and more, just thinking about it is making us hungry.

Parliament House

The 691-room building is famed for its Gothic Revival architecture, ornate statues and gorgeous paintings. Learn about the political history of Budapest with insight and anecdotes from an expert tour guide.

Flipper Museum

Budapest’s pinball museum features a collection of 115 pinball machines and 30 other old-school arcade games. Set in a windowless Budapest basement and illuminated only by the bright light of the machines, this pinball parlour is hella hipster, and unlike any other museum you’ll ever visit. It’s also Europe’s largest interactive pinball exhibition.
