But first, let me give a brief information about the Budapest before you plan your travel. Even though, Hungary is one of the European Union countries, they have their own rules that may differ from common regulations of EU.
For instance, Currency is Hungarian Forint (HUF). Nevertheless, markets restaurants, cafes and touristic places accept payment by card in Euro, money will be automatically converted to Hungarian Forints.
If you are willing to visit Budapest during the winter period, be prepared for cold, windy and rainy weather, so don't forget to take you warm clothes especially when you go for a walk along the river side. IT IS FREEZING COLD, believe me.
Generally, Budapest is very safe, because the population of the city only 1,778 million people.

Also I have noticed that there are no homeless people on the streets which was shocking. Indeed, this fact made a really good impression on my as a experienced traveler.
So now it's time to start our journey.
