How Bar Hopping to Go Sightseeing Will Change Your Life, Budapest, Hungary

Some might say that bar hopping is simply a way to drink or worse, get completely drunk while either at home or traveling. But I say that’s completely not true. If you plan things correctly, you can utilize bar hopping to go sightseeing as a way to see a new city like we did in Budapest. When you let an interesting bar or pub call to you, you let the road be your guide instead of a guidebook and everything changes. For someone as OCD as I am who usually has everything planned and mapped out in advance, going into a new city and not having a plan can be scary, but also kind of liberating.

How exactly do you use bar hopping to go sightseeing then? Instead of cramming 20 must see sights into one day, pick your top 2 or 3 that are in one centralized area and take your time exploring that specific area. Find a place to sit and have a drink or a cup of coffee and stop and chat with the locals. Stop rushing around and start exploring and remember why you’re traveling, which is to live in the moment and to enjoy the experience. Follow along and see why bar hopping to go sightseeing can change your life or at the very least, give you a day of sightseeing you won’t soon forget. ......
