Oh my god, best night life ever! Be prepared, it's gonna rock! First, the open bars close to the Danube are fu**** amazing during summer. Then, you have the Kozgaz cafe (university disco) which is quite good to meet other erasmus. My favorite bar was the Trafo (ferenc korut metro) good drum and bass on tuesdays...the you have the old man (american style not that good), the Piaf, etc...do not forget the Turkish bath party once per month (tickets available at the Chachacha...the best party EVER!!!!!
