Budapest’s most famous ruin bar is on tons of tourists’ must-visit lists, and it can get packed — but I believe it’s something you should see at least once. The eclectic decor, which has been layered over the decades, makes each room feel different from the last. Exploring the whole complex feels like an adventure.
