Budapesteuropean beauty

This ultra-hip and somewhat hard-to-find nightclub is perched atop the Corvin Áruház, formerly a state-run department store during the socialist era, now home to an ugly ground-floor supermarket. Blocky and drab, the unremarkable building also serves as the ironic setting for live DJs and dancing 'til dawn. Head for the fourth floor, where you can flop on a sofa and relax with the arty young Budapesters. When the weather’s nice, climb to the club’s fifth floor for a prime view of the city. With the only rooftop deck in Budapest, Corvintető is by far the bar with best view.
