Escape room date

Escape room date is a great way to see yourself and your partner in a whole new light — forced to think quickly and make decisions under stress, both of you will show new aspects of your personalities. You will have 60 minutes to figure out how to escape from the haunted house, mad scientist’s laboratory, spaceship, or even jail — the choice is up to you.

One of the most technologically advanced third-generation escape rooms in the city is Neverland Budapest. And if you and your loved one are fans of the Harry Potter universe, you should definitely visit the Wizard Trial room.

Fruit Picking

We are almost halfway through April — which means that fruit picking season is already approaching. Budapest area offers numerous farms, where visitors can pick fresh apples, cherries, strawberries, and even lavender. For instance, WeLoveBudapest recently featured the Törökbálint Almáskert — a “pick-your-own-apple farm”. The farm charges only 220 HUF per kilo (but keep in mind that you will have to pick at least 10 kg). At the end of the day, you and your partner get tons of fresh air, hand-picked fruits, and a “down-to-earth” experience.

Bike date

If you and your partner are fans of active and productive leisure, a bike date might be a great way to rediscover the city and share a new experience with your significant other. Cycling lanes on Margit Island, Danube bank, Varosliget City Park — there are plenty of options to choose from.

In case you don’t have a bike, there are numerous COVID19-friendly rental options — for example, the Donkey Republic rental service offers both single-time rentals and monthly memberships. All you need to do is download the app, choose a rental option and find the nearest bike station.

Coffee, walks, and talks

Finally, if you already had plenty of exciting dates, it’s always good to go back to the basics. A cup of good coffee, beautiful scenery, and your significant other sharing this moment with you — what could possibly beat that?
