Planning my first trip to Hungary. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.

My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Colombia?
5. Any apps to use before arriving?

Coming from Australia with experience in Latin America but first time in Hungary.

Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Been going for years. Scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.
