What do you need to watch the World Cup Final carefree? A glass of cold beer? A good quality street food? Or a tremendous screen? I am now going to show you where to watch the biggest event of football, if you are in Budapest on Sunday. In case you are not fortunate enough to watch it in Moscow on site, but you will be in my country’s capital for some reasons on the big day, I would like to hand you a few tips on where to follow France vs Croatia in the heart of Europe. With a beer, wine or lemonade in your hand, and in a company of a tasty hamburger, you will be able to experience the encounter in the best possible way at these spots. So let’s not waste time, but let’s get it started!
Budapest Park/Nagyszünet
Although, Nagyszünet and Budapest Park are basically an open-air cinema and a prestigious place for concerts during the year, the scene is understandably also in the grip of a football fever. You can watch the match on the high-quality screens, while the cold beverages and street food are on hand. The broadcast is naturally free, and the two nearby places will get connected for the time of the Final to provide even bigger space for the big night.

Liberty (or Szabadság) Square has evolved into the Downtown Football Cinema for the session of the World Cup with two giant screens, family and child programs, games, special guests, e-sports and a foot tennis court.

If you have no time to contemplate where to support your team, it’s quite an obvious choice to go to one of Budapest’s biggest plaza’s roof terrace. It’s already a tradition that at the downtown plaza, called WestEnd City Center, you have a chance to follow the actual football tournament, and it’s not otherwise in the case of this year’s World Cup either. Up to 1,500 people can gather here and watch the game on a 7-times-4-meter screen.
