Peru is a wonderful and diverse country full of natural wonders, cultural heritage sites, amazing food and lovely people. If you are visiting for the first time, you might encounter a few surprises while traveling around the Land of the Incas. Here are the tips I found the most useful before my visit or the tips I wish I'd known before arriving.

Margaret island is located in the middle of the Danube in the center of Budapest. With its huge parks, sport centers, swimming pools and promenades, it is the one of the most beloved recreational areas in the Hungarian capital. You can come here to chill, have a picnic, take a nap in the shade, excercise or hang out in one of the restaurants and bars.

To truly experience the essence of Budapest, you shouldn't miss out on visiting the city's famous ruin bars. These are quirky, fun bars and cafés located in abandoned, old or ruined buildings. They have mismatched furniture mostly from yard sales or antique shops, random decorations and a very unique atmosphere. Ruin bars are not only places for drinks: they are institutions! Many of them organize live concert, exhibitions, farmer's markets, beer or wine tastings, flea markets, craft fairs, open-air cinema screenings and various events that are not only appealing for the tourists but also for locals. Basically, they have something to offer for everyone. They are perfect melting pots of fun, entertainment, underground culture and gastronomy. I highly recommend you visiting them during the evening AND also during the day as they have incredibly different vibes. During the day, they are great places for grabbing a cup of coffee or a light meal, a few people are even sitting there with their laptops, doing work! During the evening, the ruin bars become more and more lively, people start to have drinks and as the night progresses, many of these bars turn into clubs where you can dance the night away.
