District VIII has an eclectic mix of styles and offerings. The Josefvaros area can feel gritty but the area has experienced renovations and gentrification to the point of becoming the hub for the city's emerging Avant-Garde café and restaurant scene. Josefvaros has an interesting collection of alternative art galleries, bars and nightlife venues which make the area particularly popular among young people and art aficionados. Toward the southern border of the neighborhood you'll find the Natural History and National Museums, both housed in beautiful 19th-century elegant buildings. Prices can vary greatly in this part of the city.
