The premises of the well-known Prága Café are available for long-term rent from January 2027 in Budapest’s District VIII, at the gateway to the historic Palace Quarter, just steps from Kálvin tér and directly in the pedestrian area in front of the Szabó Ervin Library.

This distinctive property offers an excellent opportunity for Hungarian and international operators seeking a central, accessible Budapest location for their own business concept.

LOCATION

Situated on the pedestrianised section of Baross utca by Szabó Ervin tér, the property combines the convenience of a major city-centre transport hub with the atmosphere of a historic, terrace-lined pedestrian area.

The immediate surroundings include the magnificent Wenckheim Palace, home to the Metropolitan Szabó Ervin Library. The Hungarian National Museum, Museum Garden, Ráday utca and the cultural and university venues of the Palace Quarter are all within easy walking distance.

Local residents, nearby office workers, university students, library and museum visitors, and international tourists offer a varied potential customer base.

EXCELLENT TRANSPORT CONNECTIONS

– Metro lines M3 and M4: Kálvin tér station, a short walk away.
– Tram lines 47 and 49: convenient connections to both Pest and Buda.
– Central location with easy pedestrian access from the surrounding city centre.

THE PROPERTY

The total rental area is 137 m², comprising two separate units:

– Approximately 95 m² of below-street-level hospitality premises with high ceilings.
– A separate 42 m² storage unit.

The premises have been fitted out for restaurant use with hot-food preparation. Existing technical features include:

– Multi-duct ventilation.
– Extraction ducting extending to the building’s roof.
– A lined chimney.
– Installed air conditioning.

An existing terrace operates in the pedestrian area in front of the library, adding to the property’s appeal. Detailed terms for terrace use can be discussed during negotiations.

YOUR CONCEPT, YOUR LONG-TERM BUSINESS LOCATION

Prága Café has been a recognised local meeting place for more than two decades. However, the new tenant is not required to retain the current name, interior style or café concept.

Potential uses include a café, breakfast venue, bistro, restaurant, wine bar, cultural meeting space or another business suited to the property and its surroundings.

The owner welcomes new ideas. For a long-term tenancy, the interior layout, design and use can be adapted to the tenant’s concept, subject to prior agreement and any necessary approvals.

We are seeking a tenant with a long-term vision who sees this property as an established Budapest base for their business.
