Terraces from the coffe bars and restaurants opened in Budapest. Not all of them are opened or with visitors, but some of them welcomed their first quests today.

Bars and restaurants in the capital filled their terraces with eager customers after Hungary reported Friday that 3.5 million people in the country, or around 35% of the population, had received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, a benchmark the government had set for when it would further ease restrictions.

Before Saturday, food establishments had been limited to take-out and delivery service since November. They still are not permitted to seat people indoors.

Videos are made near the Parlament, near the Chain bridge and Meriot hotel, local coffee bars and in the Pandorf outlet.
