Has anyone been to Hungary recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there last year and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Best time of year to visit Hungary?

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.
