You have different
opportunities
if you are browsing
for where to say good bye to the old year in the Budapest:
from an exclusive ball to elegant
restaurants
and elegant
bars,
or even a boat
on the Danube.
You have to book well ahead
of time, especially
in frequent
places; if you have no reservation,
go early and you could
get in with some good
luck. On the menu there's usually a hefty
dinner that includes
special international food and delicious
local dishes; champagne is quite
often included
in the price to clink glasses at midnight. Then the New Year will
begin with more eating: frankfurter sausages with horseradish and
mustard, lentil soup, roast pig and other traditional Hungarian New Year dishes
are offered
after midnight.
You can also say goodbye to the old year from a riverboat on the Danube where talented singers, dancers and music players of the Hungarian State Opera House and the Operetta House always perform classical masterpieces; programmes also include belly-dancing, step dance and Hungarian folk dances. A fine dinner and amazing panorama of lighted Budapest can make the night memorable - this is a truly classy way to celebrate the New Years in Budapest.
