Planning a memorable New Year’s Eve in Budapest? You’re in good hands with the Budapest New Year’s Eve Party Pass. While I haven’t personally experienced it, based on reviews and detailed descriptions, this tour promises a lively and seamless way to ring in the new year in Hungary’s vibrant capital. It combines excellent drinks, great venues, and the chance to meet international party-goers — all in just three hours.
What really appeals to us are the all-inclusive drinks starting at KAZI and the skip-the-line access to Instant Fogas, two aspects that ensure you spend less time waiting and more time celebrating. However, it’s important to note that this isn’t suited for children under 18, and the night involves plenty of walking and dancing, so comfortable shoes and warm clothing are essential.
If your idea of a perfect New Year’s Eve involves socializing, dancing, and enjoying Budapest’s nightlife without stressing over logistics, this event could be just right. But if you’re more into a quiet celebration or a large festive dinner, you might want to explore other options.

The final stop is at Instant Fogas, one of Budapest’s best-known ruin bars. Thanks to skip-the-line access, you won’t waste time waiting in crowd jams. This bar is famed for its eclectic decor and buzzing dance floors. As midnight approaches, you’ll join the countdown, sharing the moment with fellow revelers in a truly electric atmosphere.
The value of the experience

When we look at this experience, its strengths are clear. The unlimited drinks (particularly the excellent wine selection) are a highlight, as they add significant value for the price. Being able to breeze past lines at a busy ruin bar is another huge perk, especially during a night as popular as New Year’s Eve.
The entire 3-hour schedule keeps things lively but not exhausting. It’s a more compact option compared to longer cruises or pub crawls, which makes it ideal if you prefer a shorter burst of fun or if you’re pressed for time.
However, keep in mind that this experience is quite energetic—expect lots of walking, dancing, and socializing. It’s best suited for those who are comfortable with a fast-paced night and don’t mind dressing warmly and wearing supportive shoes.
The practical details

The meeting point is inside KAZI, and staff are available to guide you if needed. The experience is hosted in English, and you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund, offering flexibility in case your plans change. The tour duration is exactly 3 hours, starting at various times depending on availability.
You’ll want to wear warm clothing and comfortable shoes since Budapest’s winter nights can be chilly, especially if you plan to be outside or walking between venues. Also, bring a valid ID for entry, especially at the final bar.
