New in Budapest, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Budapest — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Budapest is the capital of Hungary with around 1.78 million residents and, with over 100,000 students, one of the largest higher-education hubs in Central Europe. The Jewish quarter in the 7th district with its ruin pubs, the Danube island Margaret Island and the clubs around Erzsébet tér shape a dense, affordable student nightlife. Anyone studying here thinks not just of lecture halls, but of Szimpla nights, the Sziget Festival and summer evenings on the Danube.

Budapest has around 104,000 students at 4 universities — in theory the perfect setup to meet new people. And yet the start in a new city often feels lonely: the uni groups have long since formed, and spontaneous meetups die in endless WhatsApp groups where nobody ever commits.
