In an unusual move, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had himself photographed with a mug of beer on a public terrace, as life returned to bar, café and restaurant patios on Saturday afternoon.
Crowds filled terraces in the mild afternoon weather until the 9:30 p.m. closing time and 11 p.m. curfew approached.

The cabinet eased restrictions, as the number of people who have had at least one inoculation against the coronavirus reached 3.5 million on Friday.
The government’s communication says Hungary will be safe by the end of May once six to seven million people have been inoculated.
