Everyone has stories – the ones we only tell over dinner, among friends. On the evening of June 10th, these stories will be brought to life on the terrace of Smúz Café.
What is True Stories – and why is it a unique cultural program in Budapest?
If you like that kind of thing Budapest programs, where you don't just sit passively, but actually experience something, this evening is for you. The True Stories podcast brings you in a live format the feeling you only experience at a dinner table, among friends - when someone tells you what really happened to them.
Six people – both well-known faces and ordinary people – take to the „stage” of the Smúz Café terrace to share their stories live for the first time. Some of them are funny, some heartbreaking, and some thought-provoking. Just like life.
Cultural experience and gastronomy in one – the Smúz Café way
It is no coincidence that Smúz Café is one of the most popular cultural venue in Budapest. The terrace located at Kossuth Lajos Square 18, right next to the Parliament, provides the perfect backdrop for such a special evening: the evening lights of the Parliament and the castle, the proximity of the Danube, and the characteristic atmosphere of Smúz together make the evening of June 10 unforgettable.
Of course, you can order food and drinks during the show – and here comes the best part:
