If you love English tea served on antique porcelain while doing a spot of vintage shopping, then Cydonia is the place for you.

This hidden showroom just off Margit Körút is the perfect place to go vintage hunting. Located in a private ground floor apartment you’ll need to ring a doorbell to get into the flat, but once in you’ll find an Aladdin’s Cave of clothing, shoes, accessories and jewellery. You may even find some items as low as 500HUF (around 1,5 Euro). LoveBug Vintage feels more akin to a treasure trove of pre-loved items, and it’s an adventure to sift through the garments on the rack or peruse everything on display.

Location: LoveBug Vintage, II district, Margit krt. 62.
