Travel Tips
Insider advice from our local guides
- 1Skip the street taxis. They'll rip you off. Use the Bolt app or call Főtaxi. A ride from the airport to the center should run you 11,000–14,000 HUF.
- 2The 100E airport bus is the best way to Deák Ferenc tér. It costs 2,500 HUF now. Buy the ticket on the BudapestGO app so you don't have to hunt for a machine.
- 3Forget the Euro. Hungary uses the Forint (HUF). Paying in Euros gets you a terrible exchange rate. Use a card or a bank ATM. Avoid any machine labeled Euronet.
