    Kioszk

    While visiting the cathedral or the museums along Káptalan utca, stop in for a drink or a coffee at the Kioszk in the little park between Káptalan utca and Janus Pannonius utca. It's probably the only chance you'll ever have to drink in what was once a baptistry.

    Kaptalani

    A lovely little borozó, with outdoor seating near the cathedral. Kaptalani is also a great spot to try the local wine - white Cirfandli, a speciality of the Mecsek Hills.
