You absolutely slayed the suggestions and prices. I just came back yesterday and wanted to check out if I missed something. I've tried everything you've mentioned and the prices are straight on. Is spend roughly 100 EUR per day. I am impressed, thank you for the good content and greetings from Bulgaria!

Thanks for great video! I booked a week long vacation to Budapest to watch formula 1 and enjoy the wonderful city. I'm looking forward to the trip.

BUY THE DAY PASS OPTIONS IN THE AIRPORT. BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 100E TICKET, SO USE THE 200E BUS+ METRO M3 FROM KOBANYA KISPEST STATION IN ORDER TO GET TO THE CITY . ALL OF THOSE ARE INCLUDED IN THE DAY OPTIONS TICKETS.

Came back from Budapešť yesterday after a 3 day trip. We had lunch and dinner in two different restaurants. Its worth mentioning, that tips (+/-15%) is often already included in the final bill. On both ocasions we paid 80+€ for 2 persons. Watch out for drink prices, as they simply doubled the final sum. If you are not carefull enough, you can end up paying 10€ for a single lungo.

[diegoluna]

I was there last January, I find the prices still OK. I find the Hungarians friendly people too. xoxo from Philippines

[markdeafmcguire]

Based on our experience during the winter of 2022 - 2023, I can confirm Budapest is more expensive than Greece, but less expensive than the UK or Germany.

[calm]

Not long back from Budapest.
Less expensive than London but bloody close.
Service charge often included but, as others have said, keep an eye on drink prices.

[MENSA.lady]

Compared to where ? by London standards it's cheap. from personal experience it's a nice place to visit.

[ralfrude]

You forgot the cheapest version of the river cruise. That with the BKK ships.

[tazmwl]

do you have any travel tips for tourist attending the F1 races later this summer? Is it possible to get the Hungaroring track by public transportation? What facilities can we expect at the track?

[barwithm]

One important thing to know is the price of tickets to major attractions such as the parlament, matthias church, dohany synagogue, etc are super expensive. More than we spent in western Europe.
