If you’re a fan of urban exploration, then the abandoned Duna Terasz (Danube Terrace), also known as Sajtház (Cheese House) in Rómaifürdő, Budapest is a must-see destination. The building, which sits along the banks of the Danube River, offers stunning views of the water and the city beyond.
Upon arriving at the Danube Terrace, we were immediately struck by the abundance of graffiti covering the walls. The artworks were colorful and varied and added a unique layer of interest to the already intriguing building. As we explored the interior, we were also pleasantly surprised to find a group of friendly homeless individuals living there. They were kind enough to invite us into one of their rooms, which offered a glimpse into the lives of those poor fellas who call this abandoned building home.
It’s a shame that this building is not in use and it’s abandoned because the location is outstanding and the view to the river Danube is spectacular. It’s clear that this building has a lot of potentials, and it would be great to see it restored and put to good use. The Danube Terrace is a fascinating destination for urban explorers and anyone interested in the history and culture of Budapest.
Overall, our visit to the Danube Terrace was a unique and memorable experience. The combination of graffiti, the friendly homeless people, and the incredible views made for a truly one-of-a-kind adventure. If you’re ever in Budapest and have an interest in urban exploration, be sure to check out the abandoned Danube Terrace, but be kind to the homeless guys there.

LOCATION
Finding and locating Urbex sites is a time-consuming task or we can call it a hobby.
First, try Google Search & Google Maps, a good search can do miracles 😉
But with the help of Google maps and Bing maps, google search urbex-related webpages, and delving into the comments of open/closed Facebook groups with abandoned topics, you can find almost every location if you really want it. That’s how we’ve made a Google Urbex World Map digging deep into the Internet, so now we have thousands of amazing new places to discover, only time and money limit us. If you are also an Urbex photographer, or if you have an Urbex Vlog/Blog please contact us, we are ready to share or change locations if we are sure you are a trusted Urbexer/Friend, not a metal dealer/thief or a destructive barbarian vandal.
We strictly condemn all forms of destruction of deserted places and damaging abandoned sites. We take nothing away, we do not move anything, don’t break locks, don’t break windows. Take photos, leave just footprints.
Please support us on Patreon, so with this support, we can visit better and better-abandoned places all over the world. You will be able to get the newest blog posts and pictures weeks before they will be published here and on our Facebook page. Also, we are doing live chat sessions with our supporters, so you can hear really interesting stories about how we find a hidden location, hor how is it possible to enter a place or how can we survive when we are cathed by security. This behind the scene information is only for the supporting Patreon users. Also, you will be the first to be able to buy a cheaper price for our future printed Urbex photo albums, so early heads up on any new print products just for you.
Maintaining a site like this, with a Facebook page with daily posts needs a lot of time and effort. We created this Club to share our adventures and photos with the world, to keep the memory of these abandoned buildings which might even disappear in the near future forever. Our hope is that visitors enjoy their time here and think about the past, and the stories behind the pictures, and maybe we will encourage someone to buy and restore a site.
If you don’t have enough money to support us on Patreon, there is another way: follow us on Facebook, Like and Comment frequently – we love interacting with people who like the topic, tell your friends/family/colleagues about our pages, share a link to our website with them so they can take a look, or share re-tweet our social media posts so that other interested people you know might see something they like!
We appreciate your feedback!

The background story of the Danube Terrace:
The Sajt ház, also known as the Duna Terasz, is a historic building located in the Rómaifürdő neighborhood of Budapest, Hungary. The building sits along the banks of the Danube River, offering stunning views of the water and the city beyond. It was also called “Zelewsky Csónakház” (Boathouse).
The Sajt ház was built in the early 20th century as a luxury apartment complex. The building was designed to appeal to the wealthy elite of Budapest and was outfitted with the latest amenities and technologies of the time. The building’s location, perched on the banks of the Danube River, made it a particularly desirable place to live.
During the Second World War, the building was requisitioned by the German army and used as a military base. After the war, the building was returned to its original purpose as a luxury apartment complex. However, in the years that followed, the building fell into disrepair and was eventually abandoned.
In recent years, the building has become a popular destination for urban explorers, who are drawn to its history and unique architectural features. The Sajt ház is a testament to the changing fortunes of the city of Budapest and serves as a reminder of the city’s rich cultural heritage.
Despite the neglect, the building still stands and the location and the view are still outstanding. The Sajt ház is an important piece of the city’s history and it would be great to see it restored and put to good use once again. It’s not only an interesting place for urban exploration but also a great opportunity for cultural and historic learning.
Overall, the Sajt ház is a fascinating destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of Budapest. The building’s unique architectural features, along with its rich history and location, make it a must-see destination for urban explorers, history buffs, and anyone interested in exploring the city’s past.
