Smoke Free in Budapest

by Rita Revy on September 17, 2023

As the weather changes and we are forced to head inside, we remember that smoking isn’t banned here in Hungary yet. Luckily, there are more and more cafés and restaurants going the non-smoking route. And I don’t just mean a tiny, unventilated section by the toilets – entire venues are dedicated to being smoke-free. It’s great news for Budapest Moms!

There is a group on Facebook, created by Budapest Mom Andi Lustak, committed to finding these smoke-free places in Budapest. Below is a simplified list of these venues, which will keep expanding as new ones pop up. Please feel free to submit venues, or send additional info for existing ones on our contact page. Only completely smoke-free places have been kept on the list. Support smoke-free establishments in Budapest!
