Counting down to beach season: FLAVA beach 🏖

A beach bar tucked into the city, with sand, refreshing cocktails, snacks and an open-air cinema. We scouted the season's first spot.

A full guide to Budapest and Hungary’s best beaches is coming soon — but first, we checked out the season’s opening spot.

FLAVA beach brings beach bar energy right into city life: sand, refreshing cocktails, snacks and an open-air cinema.
