TIPS

  • English or Spanish aren’t common languages in this region, so it’s useful to learn some Hungarian phrases to communicate with locals.
  • The Hungarian forint and the euro are the currencies most commonly used. You will find ATMs and exchange shops available throughout the country.
  • We recommend that visitors travel with plug adapters, as Hungary uses the standard European plug. Voltage in Hungary is 220-240 / 50Hz.
  • Acquiring a local SIM card is the best way to stay connected. Coverage is excellent and there are many mobile companies offering various prepaid plans. Make sure you choose the one that covers your travel needs.
  • Tipping isn’t mandatory in Hungary, but it’s customary to tip the waiter directly instead of leaving the money on the table.
  • Make sure to book hotels, restaurants and tours in advance; during high season it can be difficult to find available spots.
  • If you plan to visit rural Hungary, we recommend renting a car. Driving is more efficient outside the city and for covering long distances. You will need an international driver’s license and be at least 21 years old.
  • Public transport is a good option to visit Budapest and between cities. The train network service is efficient and reliable.
