Budapest is one of those cities that just captivates. It’s small enough to walk everywhere, packed with thousands of years of history, and full of great food. It’s one of my favorite places in Central Europe!

General things to know:

Even though Hungary is part of the EU, it doesn’t use the Euro! Hungary’s national currency is the florint. Occasionally places accept Euros, but it’s a bad exchange rate and your change will be in Florint. That being said, most places do take card, so get a little cash but you won’t need a ton. In three days, the only place we needed cash was for parking.

Nearly everyone spoke excellent English, even down to the night shift parking attendant. That being said, it’s always respectful to try and learn a few works in the local language! (Phonetic in parentheses)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Available for hire

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
