What €100 Gets You
Budapest is one of Europe's best-value capitals. Here's a realistic day on €100.
€100 = ~41,000 HUF. Budapest uses the Hungarian Forint (HUF), not the Euro. Most tourist places accept cards, but carry some cash for markets and small shops. Prices below reflect mid-range spending, not backpacker or luxury extremes.
