What's Offbeat?

Parts of Budapest and Vienna have been transformed by mass tourism, making it difficult for visitors to discover the side of the city locals know, places they go to. Offbeat is a curated but not sanitized city guide, also featuring stories about food, wine, and culture. Enjoy your stay!

I've written also for Eater, the National Geographic, Condé Nast Traveller, and I've been featured in the New York Times. Some of my articles have appeared in Hungarian translation.
