This was our second time using this route; previously, we traveled from Budapest to Saudi Arabia. Each time, the plane was fully booked, indicating the popularity of this connection. Like before, we opted to travel with only carry-on luggage, which helped us avoid extra fees. We also didn\u2019t book seats next to each other because, given the short flight time\u2014just a little over an hour\u2014we didn\u2019t find it necessary. We didn\u2019t bother other passengers with requests to switch seats and managed to get through the flight comfortably separated.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The airport in Budapest did not leave the best impression on us. From our previous trip, we mainly remembered that during the night, when the airport was closed for several hours, it was hard to find a place to sit, let alone rest comfortably. The main hall does not offer enough seating, which can be a significant challenge for passengers with longer layovers. Fortunately, this time we didn\u2019t have to worry about that, as our journey was quick and uncomplicated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f16173 elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"7f16173\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--2 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--landscape\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-004-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-7\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-004-1300x650.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape\" alt=\"Wizz Air plane at Budapest airport gate, with cloudy sky and passenger steps visible\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-adf9173 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"adf9173\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Bus to the city center<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">To get from the airport to the center of Budapest, several transportation options are available:<\/p><ul><li class=\"p1\"><b>100E Line<\/b>: The bus provides a direct connection between Budapest Airport and De\u00e1k Ferenc t\u00e9r in the city center. It operates around the clock, with a travel time of approximately 40 minutes. Buses run every 6-10 minutes during the day and every 30-40 minutes at night. The ticket costs 2,200 HUF (about 28 PLN) and can be purchased at ticket machines or directly on the bus using a bank card through the Budapest Pay&amp;GO service. Note that this ticket does not allow transfers to other forms of public transportation.<\/li><li class=\"p1\"><b>200E Line<\/b>: The bus line connects Budapest Airport with the M3 metro line at K\u0151b\u00e1nya-Kispest station. It operates 24 hours a day, running every 6-10 minutes during the day. The ticket costs 450 HUF (approximately 5 PLN), and the bus ride takes about 20-25 minutes. After that, it takes an additional 15-20 minutes to reach the city center by metro. This makes the 200E a convenient option for travelers looking to access Budapest\u2019s public transport network.<\/li><li class=\"p1\"><b>Taxi<\/b>: Official cabs are available at terminals 2A and 2B. The starting fee is 450 HUF, and the cost of a ride to the center is about 7000 HUF (85 PLN).

It\u2019s important to ensure that the document is up to date. Electronic versions of the ID card are not accepted when crossing the border. And no, a discount card from Carrefour won\u2019t work either, unfortunately.<\/li><li class=\"p1\"><b>Driving License:<\/b> A Polish driving license is recognized in Hungary, so there is no need to obtain an international driving license. If you plan to rent a car, be sure to bring the physical driving license with you.<\/li><li class=\"p1\"><b>Traveling in a vehicle that is not yours:<\/b> If you plan to enter Hungary in a vehicle that is not your own (for example, one borrowed from a friend or a company car), you should have written authorization from the vehicle\u2019s owner. It is advisable for this authorization to be prepared in multiple languages, including Hungarian or English, to facilitate any potential checks. For leased vehicles, it is also wise to have the leasing agreement or appropriate authorization from the leasing company on hand.<\/li><li class=\"p1\"><b>Vehicle Insurance: <\/b> When traveling to Hungary in your own car, you must carry proof of the validity of your third-party liability insurance (OC). Although Hungary is a member of the European Union and the Schengen Area, having a physical insurance document may be required during traffic checks.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8353dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"e8353dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--3 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--square\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-009-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-10\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-009-650x650.jpg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_square size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_square\" alt=\"Red Hungarian mail box in Budapest with a mailbox slot and decorative metal emblem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-009-650x650.jpg 650w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-009-148x148.jpg 148w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-009-296x296.jpg 296w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-009-1300x1300.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--landscape\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-010-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-10\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-010-1300x650.jpg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape\" alt=\"Budapest, Hungary: neoclassical building with a central statue in a landscaped garden and blooming flower beds\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01162ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"01162ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Traffic conditions<\/h2><p class=\"p1\">When traveling to Budapest by car, there are a few important points to note regarding road conditions and parking:<\/p><h3><strong>Road tolls<\/strong><\/h3><p class=\"p1\">Traveling on Highways in Hungary: Using highways and some express roads in Hungary is subject to tolls. To legally drive on these routes, you must purchase an electronic vignette (e-vignette) before entering the toll section. Vignettes are available in various time options: 10-day, monthly, and annual. The prices of the vignettes depend on the vehicle category and the selected validity period. For example, for passenger cars (category D1), a 10-day vignette costs approximately 56 PLN, while an annual one costs around 665 PLN.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Purchasing a vignette in Hungary is best done through the official website <a href=\"https:\/\/ematrica.nemzetiutdij.hu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ematrica.nemzetiutdij.hu<\/a>. The process is straightforward: you select the type of vignette, enter your vehicle\u2019s registration number, and pay online. You will receive confirmation immediately, and there is no need to print the document, as checks are conducted electronically.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Avoid resellers when purchasing your vignette, as they often add commissions, which can increase the price by up to 50%. By buying directly from the official website, you save money and ensure the accuracy of the transaction. Remember to carefully check your vehicle\u2019s details before finalizing your purchase. This will help prevent any issues during your travels on Hungary\u2019s toll roads.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07e7d5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"07e7d5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--2 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--landscape\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-011-mfrh-original-scaled.jpeg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-11\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-011-1300x650.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape\" alt=\"View from inside a car driving on a road in Budapest, Hungary, with the dashboard and navigation screen visible\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fac08ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fac08ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Car parking<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">In Budapest, parking is paid and depends on the zone.

Highways, marked with the letter \u201cM\u201d followed by a number, connect Budapest with major cities and neighboring countries. For example, the M1 highway leads to Austria, the M3 heads eastward, and the M5 connects to Serbia. (<a href=\"https:\/\/pl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Autostrady_na_W%C4%99grzech\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a>)<\/p><p class=\"p1\">National and local roads are generally in good condition, although their quality may vary depending on the region. In some rural areas, you may encounter narrower roads with poorer surfaces, so it\u2019s advisable to exercise caution.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">In cities, especially in Budapest, the road infrastructure is modern, but one should be prepared for the possibility of traffic jams during peak hours. The public transportation system is well-developed, providing an alternative to driving a car in the city.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f670bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f670bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Public transport<\/h2><h3>Public transportation<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">Budapest offers a comprehensive and efficient urban transport network, with buses playing a key role.

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Ticket fare<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">A standard single ticket costs 450 HUF (approximately 5.25 PLN) and is valid for one trip without transfers. There are also time-based tickets available, such as a 30-minute ticket for 530 HUF (about 6.20 PLN) and a 90-minute ticket for 750 HUF (around 8.80 PLN), which allow for transfers within the specified time frame. Tickets can be purchased at ticket machines, kiosks, through the BudapestGO mobile app, or from the driver (though higher prices may apply in this case).<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Recently, the Budapest Pay&amp;GO system was introduced, allowing passengers to purchase and validate tickets using their bank cards. This system is currently available on the 100E bus line (Airport Express) and the M1 metro line. Passengers can simply tap their bank card on the validator to pay for their fare, streamlining the ticketing process and eliminating the need for prior registration or paper tickets. This innovation represents a significant step in enhancing the efficiency of public transport in Budapest. (<a href=\"https:\/\/bkk.hu\/en\/tickets-and-passes\/pay-and-go\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BKK<\/a>)<\/p><ul><li class=\"p1\"><b>On the 100E line<\/b>, buses are equipped with Pay&amp;GO devices at each entrance. To purchase and validate a ticket, you simply need to tap your payment card or mobile device on the reader. The system defaults to offering one ticket for purchase, but you can increase the number of tickets up to five by using the \u201c+\u201d button on the device\u2019s screen. This streamlined process enhances convenience for passengers, allowing for quick and easy access to public transport services.<\/li><li class=\"p1\"><b>On the M1 line<\/b>, Pay&amp;GO devices are located at the entrances of metro stations. The process of purchasing and validating a ticket is similar to that on buses\u2014simply tap your card or mobile device on the reader to complete both actions simultaneously. This integration streamlines the fare payment process, allowing passengers to board quickly without the need for a separate ticket purchase.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35ef02b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"35ef02b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Is there an Uber or Bolt here?<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">Uber has not been available in Budapest since 2016, when the company withdrew from the Hungarian market due to regulatory challenges. The local authorities implemented strict regulations requiring Uber drivers to obtain taxi licenses and comply with the same rules that govern traditional taxi services. In response to protests from Hungarian taxi drivers and the introduction of these new regulations, Uber decided to cease operations in the country.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">An alternative is Bolt, but here, too, drivers must possess licenses, making this service similar to traditional taxis. Prices are regulated, so rides may seem more expensive. We had an interesting experience with Bolt\u2014when we tried to order a ride for a short distance (about 3 km), drivers initially accepted the trip but then canceled the order upon learning about the short distance. This somewhat resembles situations with Polish taxi drivers who are reluctant to take short fares. It was only on our fourth attempt that we successfully completed a ride from the airport.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f31ea4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"f31ea4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--3 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--landscape\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-018-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-14\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-018-1300x650.jpg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape\" alt=\"Budapest street scene in Hungary with yellow taxi, pedestrians, and flowering lavender along the sidewalk\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-14\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"Budapest Article photos: cyclists ride past historic buildings on a sunny street in Budapest, Hungary.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-920x690.jpg 920w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-3200x2400.jpg 3200w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/hungary-019-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-871fc28 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"871fc28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Accommodation<\/h2><p class=\"p1\">We stayed at Hotel Bencz\u00far in Budapest, but we definitely do not recommend this place.

Additionally, the hotel incorrectly charged us a tax fee that should have been included according to the reservation description. After filing a complaint with the bank, we recovered our money, but the situation left a bad feeling.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The rooms were in a deplorable state. We chose the hotel for budget reasons, but the standard was far below expectations. The decor and furnishings seemed to be from the communist era, and the mattresses were uncomfortable. The bathroom looked like it was taken from a rural cottage from several decades ago.

Polish numbers worked without additional roaming charges. As always, we remind travelers that in EU countries, including Hungary, using the internet, making calls, or sending messages incurs no extra costs. This is due to the EU\u2019s \u201croam like at home\u201d policy, which allows users to utilize their domestic allowances for calls, texts, and data while traveling within EU member states.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">However, it is worth checking the terms of your tariff, as although roaming is free under EU regulations, there are usually limits on data usage. This limit depends on the specific operator and the tariff plan. It\u2019s a good idea to confirm how much data you have available to avoid unexpected charges for exceeding the limit. If you anticipate needing more data, consider purchasing a local SIM card, especially for longer stays. This can provide you with more flexibility and potentially better rates for data usage while in Hungary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f80f04b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f80f04b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Food<\/h2><p class=\"p1\">During our stay in Budapest, we couldn\u2019t resist trying the local specialties.

In Budapest, there are particularly many Euronet ATMs, but it\u2019s important to be cautious with them.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Local bank ATMs<\/b>, such as those from OTP Bank and K&amp;H Bank, typically do not charge additional fees for cash withdrawals, especially if you are using Mastercard or Visa cards. However, it\u2019s always wise to check whether your bank imposes any fees for international withdrawals.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>Euronet ATMs<\/b> often charge higher fees, and their Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) feature offers currency conversion that can be unfavorable.

Summer (June-August) is warm and sunny, with temperatures often exceeding 25\u00b0C, and on the hottest days, reaching even 35\u00b0C. Autumn (September-November) initially is pleasantly warm, but gradually becomes cooler, with temperatures dropping to 5-10\u00b0C in November, along with more frequent rainfall. Winter (December-February) is cold, with temperatures often falling below zero, although snow is rare.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">During our March trip to Budapest, we experienced typical spring weather\u2014cool mornings and warmer afternoons.

to. For me, as a lover of the Middle East, it was somewhat less exciting, but I admit that Budapest has its charm. It\u2019s peaceful, a piece of Central Europe at its best, and another cup from Starbucks added to our collection.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Budapest serves another important role for us\u2014it is an excellent base for travel due to the affordable flight prices with Wizz Air. This city will certainly appear on our itinerary again, even if just as a stopover. For this reason alone, it\u2019s worth keeping it in mind when planning our trips.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From the Danube River to historic landmarks \u2013 see how to enjoy Budapest in just a few days with our practical tips and impressions.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3431,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[105],"tags":[174,155,175,173,171,170],"class_list":{"0":"post-3593","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-europe","8":"tag-culture-and-habits","9":"tag-hungary","10":"tag-travel-planning","11":"tag-travel-safety","12":"tag-urban-tourism","13":"tag-visas-and-documents","14":"cs-entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3593"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3593\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
