Do in Hungary<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/hungaryguide1a.jpeg\" alt=\"A bright orange sunset over the Danube in beautiful Budapest, Hungary\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Explore Budapest<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>With its cheap accommodation, a multitude of thermal baths, and historic castles, Budapest is always a big hit with travelers. On a visit to Hungary\u2019s capital city, you can explore underground caves, marvel at the stunning architecture, and enjoy the incredible nightlife. Cruise the river Danube on a riverboat to check out the views during the day, and then dance the night away when the boats turn into some of the city\u2019s best late-night clubs. It has lots to do, cheap food, and a lively atmosphere. It&#8217;s one of my favorite cities in the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Visit the ruin bars<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>After World War II, many buildings in the city were left ruined and abandoned. Squatters, then artists, and now hipsters moved into them and have turned them into eclectic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/the-ruin-bars-of-budapest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;ruin bars&#8221;<\/a> that even the locals love. The atmosphere is grungy and unique with rundown exteriors that open into hip spaces for dancing, performance art, and theater. Decorated with reclaimed materials and quirky antiques, the ruin bars are an iconic part of Hungary\u2019s nightlife. Szimpla Kert and Fogash\u00e1z are among my favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Soak in the largest thermal lake in the world<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>H\u00e9v\u00edz is located near Lake Balaton and is home to the largest swimmable thermal lake in the world, Lake H\u00e9v\u00edz. Whatever the season, the lake remains a perfect temperature for taking a dip in the therapeutic waters which are rich in minerals like magnesium, calcium, sulfur, and hydrogen carbonate (Hungary\u2019s thermal waters have been used for thousands of years for their health benefits). In the early 1900s the area became a popular spa resort destination, with visitors flocking from all around Europe. There isn\u2019t much to the town beyond this, but it makes for a neat day trip if you\u2019re in the area. Single entry tickets are 4,500 HUF for three hours and there is a range of spa services available too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Hike Gul\u00e1cs Hill<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This inactive volcano stands around 400 meters (1,312 feet) high and makes for a wonderful hike. The path is rugged and often covered in dense forests or fallen trees, so it&#8217;s not ideal for children. Various trails snake up the mountain, and on the way, you can visit other landmarks like an old, abandoned quarry. Mysterious paths continuously intersect and lead to nowhere, so it\u2019s easy to get a little lost, and dense woods add to the mystique of the hike. From the first observation point, you can see all the way to Lake Balaton. You&#8217;ll get stunning views of the entire area and it&#8217;s only a 3-kilometer (2-mile) trek. It makes for an easy day trip from Budapest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Take a trip to Eger<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Tucked away in northern Hungary near the B\u00fckk Mountains, this town dates all the way back to the 10th century. It is known for its historic castle, which was originally a manor house and chapel that overlooked the valley. Throughout the 11th and 12th centuries, the castle suffered major damage and was rebuilt and fortified multiple times until the church began to demolish the structure in the late 1700s. Luckily, the demolition was stopped, and archeological digs and excavations began in the 20th century. Today, visitors can explore the remains of the medieval bishop\u2019s castle for 4,000 HUF. Eger is also famous for its stunning Baroque and architecture and Turkish ruins, thermal baths, and the best red wine in the country. You can buy wine directly from those who make it, so this is an excellent place for souvenirs \u2014 or to stock up for yourself!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id154601_2d1051-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id154601_2d1051-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id154601_2d1051-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id154601_2d1051-e8 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id154601_2d1051-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id154601_2d1051-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id154601_2d1051-e8 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"seedo\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column154601_65c8ca-05 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column154601_65c8ca-05 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column154601_65c8ca-05 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column154601_65c8ca-05 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column154601_65c8ca-05 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column154601_65c8ca-05 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column154601_65c8ca-05{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column154601_65c8ca-05 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column154601_65c8ca-05 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column154601_65c8ca-05\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7d671ee0 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading154601_d3fbdf-58, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading154601_d3fbdf-58[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading154601_d3fbdf-58\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading154601_d3fbdf-58 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading154601_d3fbdf-58[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading154601_d3fbdf-58\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading154601_d3fbdf-58 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading154601_d3fbdf-58\">Other Things to See and Do in Hungary<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Dance at the Sziget Music Festival<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sziget Music Festival is one of the largest music festivals in Europe. It takes place every August for one week on Margaret Island in Budapest, right on the Danube River. Because of its size and international popularity, tourists and locals alike flock to Budapest to take in the scene. The little island takes on a new look with inflatable sculptures and sci-fi tunnels of light leading festival goers from stage to stage. With over 1,000 performances, there is something for most musical tastes. There are also dance troupes, along with circus and theatrical performances. You can book tickets online. Prices start around 145,000 HUF for a full festival pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Relax at Lake Balaton<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Lake Balaton is the biggest freshwater lake in Central Europe and is known affectionately as the Hungarian inner sea. It&#8217;s a popular tourist destination both for visitors and nationals thanks to its beaches and volcanic hills. In Tihany, you can visit a Benedictine Abbey that dates to 1065 CE (admission is 2,200 HUF). Towards the north of the lake is a wine-growing region, wetlands, and some epic hiking trails. For those looking for more relaxation, you&#8217;ll find over 1,000 hot springs famed for their medicinal properties here. One of the most popular is H\u00e9viz Lake (mentioned above) which also offers visitors a whole range of different spa treatments. Treatments start from 3,700 HUF for a 35-minute massage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Cruise along the Danube<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Danube River is the second-longest river in Europe (the Volga is the longest). The river runs through the entire country and you can visit many of the small towns that line its coast by taking a boat cruise (you can even cruise into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/germany-travel-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Germany<\/a> if you have time). Expect to pay around 37,000 HUF for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/budapest-l29\/full-day-tour-of-the-danube-from-budapest-t15256\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a full-day cruise<\/a> that includes lunch. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/budapest-l29\/budapest-sightseeing-party-cruise-with-unlimited-drinks-t333211\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\">You can also take party cruises if you want<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Visit the Necropolis in P\u00e9cs<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Located just a couple hours from Budapest, this UNESCO World Heritage Site dates to the 4th century. The decorated tombs were created by Romans living in Sopianae (now P\u00e9cs). The murals inside the tombs depict various scenes from Christianity. It\u2019s the largest necropolis in Europe, with several burial chambers open to the public, including multi-level chambers. Admission is 3,400 HUF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Take a food tour<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Hungarian cuisine is both delicious and hearty. If you&#8217;re a foodie like me and want to sample the country&#8217;s most popular dishes (while learning about their cultural importance), take a food tour. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodtourbudapest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Food Tour Budapest<\/a> runs in-depth guided tours around Budapest that can introduce you to the region&#8217;s best dishes and teach you how they came to be. They offer tours that explore various neighborhoods, markets, and the caf\u00e9 culture. There\u2019s even one for a dinner cruise on the Danube. Tours last a few hours and start at 25,600 HUF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Admire the National Gallery<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Established in 1957 and located in the Royal Palace in Budapest, the National Gallery is home to works from prominent Hungarian and European artists. This was one of the most opulent royal residences in the 1300s and was updated in the 1700s with Baroque architecture. It was restored again in the 1960s after significant damage during WWII and turned into the National Gallery in the 1970s. There are a lot of paintings and sculptures here, as well as a collection of altarpieces from the 1400s. You can also tour the building\u2019s dome for views of the city. It\u2019s not a huge gallery, so you only need a few hours to take it in. Admission to the gallery is 3,400 HUF per person and an audio guide is 800 HUF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Go birdwatching<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Hungary is home to a surprising number of bird species. Hot spots for birding include Hortob\u00e1gy, Lake Ferto, Kiskuns\u00e1g, Lake Tisza, B\u00fckk, and the Zempl\u00e9n Mountains. In these places, you have a fair chance of seeing great bustards, sakers, imperial eagles, pygmy cormorants, woodpeckers, and even Ural owls. There are several companies that can arrange small group trips to these places (often combined with other activities, like wine tastings). Tours aren&#8217;t cheap, though \u2014 multi-day tours cost upwards of 350,000 HUF \u2014 so consider a self-guided trip if you&#8217;re on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Visit the House of Terror Museum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Hungary is infamous for the brutality of its leaders under the Nazi and Soviet regimes. This building is both a museum and a memorial paying homage to the thousands of people who were tortured and brutally killed here. You\u2019ll see exhibits that show deportation and resettlement that happened during these periods, which include an interrogation chamber. There are also reconstructed prison cells and displays showing the propaganda these regimes used up until the revolution in 1956. It&#8217;s not a light way to spend your afternoon, but you&#8217;ll get heaps of insight into Hungary&#8217;s complex history. Admission is 4,000 HUF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Cycle the countryside<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>There are over 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) of cycling paths in the Hungarian countryside (and 200 kilometers\/125 miles around Budapest). Lake Balaton has a popular cycling route that runs all the way around its perimeter. For those looking to go further afield on a multi-day excursion, the paths in Hungary also connect with routes in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/germany-travel-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Germany<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/austria-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Austria<\/a>. The routes are easy to navigate, though if you prefer to take a guided tour there are plenty available. A one-day guided tour costs between 22,220-55,550 HUF per person. If you are traveling with a bicycle, it can be transported by train within Hungary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Explore Tengerszem Nature Preserve<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This nature preserve is in an old stone mine, which closed in 1907. Nature has slowly reclaimed the area and water has filled the massive gorge. The site was turned into the country\u2019s first national park in 1985 and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. The park was declared the most beautiful area in all of Hungary in 2011. It&#8217;s a unique location to spend the day as its protected status means there are all kinds of incredible flora and fauna to be seen. The preserve is near Sarospatak in the northeast of the country (it&#8217;s just 20 minutes from the border with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/slovakia-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Slovakia<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Soak in the baths<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Thermal baths are a big part of Hungarian culture and date back hundreds of years. The waters in the thermal pools are rich in calcium, magnesium, and zinc and are believed to improve skin, relieve muscle soreness, and help with inflammation. Whether you\u2019re relaxing in the famous Szechenyi Baths in Budapest or checking out a small hot pool in the countryside, you can\u2019t leave Hungary without partaking in this local pastime (there are over 1,300 thermal baths in the entire country). Weekday admission is around 4,800 HUF per person, with prices rising slightly on the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Visit the Royal Palace (Buda Castle)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>They call it a castle, but the Royal Palace in Budapest is more of a palace complex than a proper &#8216;castle.&#8217; Though it was originally constructed in the 13th century, the huge Baroque complex you see today was built between 1749 and 1769. The palace\u2019s days of being a luxurious living space ended in World War II when Nazi (and then Russian) troops looted it. Today, it\u2019s home to a collection of museums including the House of Houdini, Hungarian National Gallery, Museum of Miliary History, Museum of Music, Budapest History Museum, Golden Eagle Pharmacy Museum, and Museum of Telephones. Beneath the castle, there is a spooky labyrinth that tourists can explore for 5,000 HUF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Wander the Great Market Hall<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>At the head of Budapest&#8217;s Vaci Utca, the kitschy shopping street in town, is the Great Market Hall. Built in 1897, this is the oldest and largest indoor market in the country. Its incredible exterior is covered in the same ceramic tiles as are on the roof of Matthias Church on the top of Buda Hill. Walk the aisles and check out local produce and artisanal crafts, buy local spices like paprika, and sample the tasty food stalls. This is the perfect place to people-watch, have lunch, and pick up souvenirs. Food tours are also available at 11am every Saturday and cost around 10,200 HUF for a two-hour tour. The market is open Monday-Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Soak in the Cave Bath<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy spas and are in need of some pampering, the Cave Bath at Miskolctapolca is a must. Located within a natural cave system two hours east of Budapest, here the water is rich in natural minerals and is said to contain healing properties. The water is a relaxing 30\u00b0C (86\u00b0F) and there are several different pools to enjoy as well as reasonably priced spa treatments available. The baths are open year-round (except January) and admission starts at 4,800 HUF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Attend the Bus\u00f3j\u00e1r\u00e1s Festival<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This slightly scary festival happens annually in the lead-up to Ash Wednesday in the town of Moh\u00e1cs. During this time, locals parade through the town dressed in traditional clothing and wearing demonic face masks. No one is 100% certain where the tradition comes from as there are two very different stories, so it really depends on who you ask. One story is that it stems from an attempt to frighten off the Ottoman invaders. The other is that it&#8217;s part of a pagan tradition to frighten away the winter. Either way, it&#8217;s an interesting festival to witness. The dates of the festival change each year to coincide with Easter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Tour the wine region<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a wine fan, the region of Eger in northern Hungary is where you&#8217;ll find the country&#8217;s best wines. There are many vineyards here where you can take a tour as well as sample and buy wine. A private wine tour and tasting costs upwards of 60,000 HUF so if you are on a tight budget keep an eye out for special wine-tasting evenings. Here you can tour the cellars and enjoy plenty of samples at a discount. Two of the most popular wineries to visit are the G\u00e1l Tibor winery and Bolyki Pinc\u00e9szet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. Explore the Caves of Aggtelek Karst<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Caves of Aggtelek Karst are part of Aggtelek National Park, one of the only UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the country. There are 712 caves spread out over 138,000 acres that run along the border of Hungary and Slovakia. The site is made up of seven areas with five in Hungary and two in neighboring Slovakia. Within the caves, you can see some of the largest stalactites and stalagmites in Europe. You can also book a tour that takes you across the border to see the caves in Slovakia. To enter the caves, you must be part of a guided tour. Admission is 2,600 HUF. For more information on tour times, check the <a href=\"http:\/\/regi.anp.hu\/en\/belepojegy-arak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18. Go hiking in Hortob\u00e1gy National Park<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the eastern part of Hungary, this is the largest protected landscape in the country. The park was created in the 1970s and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. The grassy plains (also known as a steppe) are home to all sorts of domestic animals, including cattle, horses, and water buffalo tended to by traditional herdsmen. Some of the rarest animal breeds can be found here, including great bustards, lesser white-fronted geese, white-tailed eagles, and falcons. The landscape is incredibly stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">19. See the Bokod Floating Houses<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Bokod and Oroszl\u00e1ny are two towns located outside Budapest. The towns are home to a collection of cottages and cabins on stilts that line the coast of Lake Bokodi. The cabins and cottages are popular with the locals in the summer months, though there are some fishermen who spend time here in the winter as well (the lake is famous for almost never freezing, even though Hungary has cold winters). The \u201clake\u201d is actually a cooling pond for the nearby powerplant so the water is continuously circulated which keeps it from freezing. It&#8217;s an off-the-beaten-path destination that few tourists visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">20. Visit the Hungarian Versailles<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Eszterh\u00e1za is a vast palace located near the border with Austria and is often considered the Hungarian version of France&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/the-palace-of-versailles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Versailles<\/a>. Constructed in the late Baroque style, the palace was built throughout the 18th century after being commissioned by Prince Nikolaus Esterh\u00e1zy, who wanted a palatial getaway for his hunting expeditions. There are 126 rooms in the palace and the library houses over 22,000 books. Daily tours are available in English if you want to see this decadent getaway with your own eyes. Admission is 7,500 HUF and guided tours are 8,650 HUF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id154601_958b8f-de > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id154601_958b8f-de > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id154601_958b8f-de > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id154601_958b8f-de > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id154601_958b8f-de > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id154601_958b8f-de > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id154601_958b8f-de alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"safe\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column154601_80c3c8-a8 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column154601_80c3c8-a8 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column154601_80c3c8-a8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column154601_80c3c8-a8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column154601_80c3c8-a8 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column154601_80c3c8-a8 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column154601_80c3c8-a8{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column154601_80c3c8-a8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column154601_80c3c8-a8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column154601_80c3c8-a8\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b68a4ab2 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading154601_164c77-a8, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading154601_164c77-a8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading154601_164c77-a8\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading154601_164c77-a8 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading154601_164c77-a8[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading154601_164c77-a8\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading154601_164c77-a8 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading154601_164c77-a8\">How to Stay Safe in Hungary<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hungary is a safe country and travelers shouldn&#8217;t worry about violent crimes here. However, in the tourist areas of Budapest (as well as on crowded public transportation), scams and pick-pocketing can occur. Avoid flashing your valuables around and always keep an eye on your things when on the bus or train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you head out to the ruin bars, only bring enough cash for the night. Take a taxi home if you&#8217;re intoxicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on potential scams in Hungary, here is my list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/avoid-travel-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common travel scams to avoid<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here. Make sure to follow standard safety precautions (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.). For specific information about a place, check out one of the many incredible solo female travel blogs on the web. They\u2019ll give you tips and advice that I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you rent a vehicle, don&#8217;t leave any valuables in it overnight. Break-ins are rare but it&#8217;s always better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the LGBTQ community will want to be mindful here as the government has been cracking down on the LGBTQ community in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience an emergency, dial 112 for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase quality travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It\u2019s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong.

It\u2019s hard to spend money here unless you&#8217;re out partying all the time or splashing out on spa visits and nice hotels. That said, it never hurts to save more money! Here are some tips to help you make the most of your budget in Hungary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bring a water bottle<\/strong> &#8211; The tap water here is safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestraw.xyibsh.net\/B0AY14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LifeStraw<\/a> is my go-to brand as their bottles have built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take a free walking tour<\/strong> &#8211; Free walking tours are available in Budapest and are the best way to get the lay of the land for cheap. You&#8217;ll learn a lot about the city and get access to an expert local guide who can answer your questions. <a href=\"https:\/\/free-budapest-tours.com\/tours\/free-original-budapest-walking-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Be Original Tours<\/a> runs an interesting tour to get you started. Just be sure to tip your guide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stay with a local<\/strong> &#8211; Staying with a local via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/how-to-crush-it-on-couchsurfing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Couchsurfing<\/a> is an easy way to save money and meet a knowledgeable local who can share their insider tips and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cook your own meals<\/strong> &#8211; While eating out isn\u2019t too expensive here, if you\u2019re on a budget it&#8217;s cheaper if you cook your own meals. Head to a local grocery store and save money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rideshare<\/strong> &#8211; Ridesharing apps like BlaBlaCar allow you to share rides with locals in order to get around the country (it&#8217;s best for medium and long distances). Everyone is registered and verified so it\u2019s quite safe, and while it isn\u2019t free it&#8217;s likely more interesting (and faster) than taking a train or bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Redeem hotel points<\/strong> &#8211; Be sure to sign up for hotel credit cards so you can use those points to pay for accommodation on your trip. You\u2019ll get at least 1-2 nights free with most cards, which can significantly lower your costs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/points-miles-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This post can help you understand the basics<\/a> so you can start earning points today and have plenty by the time you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Walk everywhere<\/strong> &#8211; Most cities in Hungary are quite walkable (even Budapest).

Most cities have buses and trams, and Budapest has an underground. Single-journey tickets vary by city but expect to pay around 450 HUF, while a day pass costs around 2,500 HUF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using the local public buses in Hungary, you need to validate your ticket when you board. Traveling without a ticket is a fineable offense so be sure to validate your ticket before you ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Train<\/strong> &#8211; Hungary&#8217;s train network is still being modernized and there is a big difference in comfort between local trains and long-distance and international trains. As the Hungarian rail network was built around Budapest, most long-distance journeys take you through one of the capital&#8217;s three train stations (Keleti, Nyugati, or Deli).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When traveling by rail in Hungary you can choose to take the cheaper and slower local trains, or pay extra for more modern and faster InterCity rail services (be sure to reserve a seat in advance if you&#8217;re taking the InterCity train).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Budapest to Lake Balaton, the train takes around 90 minutes and costs 6,000 HUF. From Budapest to P\u00e9cs, the journey takes around 2.5 hours and costs just 5,000 HUF. If you want to take the train into Slovakia, the train from Budapest to Bratislava takes around 2.5 hours and costs 12,500 HUF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find routes and prices for trains around Europe, use <a href=\"https:\/\/prf.hn\/click\/camref:1101l3HUwW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trainline<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bus<\/strong> &#8211; Vol\u00e1nbusz is the main bus company in Hungary. It&#8217;s cheap and is sometimes even faster than the train. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=16028&amp;awinaffid=509047&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fglobal.flixbus.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flixbus<\/a> also has routes that connect to nearby countries like Austria, Czechia, and Slovakia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ride from Budapest to P\u00e9cs takes around 4.5 hours and costs around 4,000 HUF. The 2.5-hour bus from Budapest to Bratislava costs around 5,800 HUF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find bus routes and prices, use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpbolvw.net\/click-3032045-13720039\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BusBud<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flying<\/strong> &#8211; Flying around Hungary will not save you any time or money compared to the train so I&#8217;d avoid it. You can fly to nearby countries though, such as Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, and Poland, for under 18,000 HUF with Ryanair or Wizz Air (if you book early).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Car rental<\/strong> &#8211; Car rentals can be found for as little as 6,500 HUF per day for a multi-day rental, though this isn&#8217;t necessarily the most economical way to get around as the buses and trains here are super affordable. If you&#8217;re driving, make sure to bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) \u2014 you&#8217;ll need one for any car rental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the best car rental prices, use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/?a_aid=nomadicmatt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover Cars<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hitchhiking<\/strong> &#8211; Hitchhiking is safe and relatively common in Hungary.

Temperatures in most areas hover around 23-29\u00b0C (73-84\u00b0F) and Hungary (especially Budapest) experiences an influx of visitors. Prices increase during this time as well, but the cities are lively and there are lots of events and festivals. In the mountainous areas around Eger, temperatures are a bit cooler in the summer with daily averages between 19-21\u00b0C (66-70\u00b0F). Summers are fairly rainy with 7-9 days of rain each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter stretches from November to March. Expect rain and snow, with many tourist attractions shutting down for the season. Temperatures drop below freezing so it&#8217;s too cold for hiking and exploring on foot. However, if you enjoy winter sports, you\u2019ll find places for skiing and sledding in the mountains. That said, November-December brings Christmas markets galore, so it&#8217;s a fun time for shorter city trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I think the best time to visit Hungary is the shoulder season in the spring and fall. Temperatures hover between 10-17\u00b0C (50-62\u00b0F) in the lower elevations so it&#8217;s still warm enough to hike and explore but prices are a little lower and there are fewer crowds. There\u2019s also less rain that in the summer, which makes it easier to enjoy outdoor activities. In the mountains temperatures are still pleasant, ranging between 11-16\u00b0 (52-60\u00b0F). It cools off significantly at night, so you\u2019ll definitely want to pack layers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"guide-block resources-block\"><h3 id=\"book\"><span>Hungary Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources<\/span><\/h3><p>These are my favorite companies to use when I travel.

You\u2019ll get suggested itineraries, budgets, even more ways to save money, my favorite restaurants, prices, practical information (i.e. phone numbers, websites, prices, safety advice, etc etc), and cultural tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll give the insider view of Europe that I got from years of traveling and living here!
