I have friends who spent years of expat time in Hungary. They used to call Hungarian the heavenly language. Because it takes an eternity to learn it.
Yeah 😅 it’s because in its own language “tree” but I’m not the one to complain since I’m from Bulgaria and we use Cyrillic 😂
That means a hell language if you can not learn it...is not heavenly...🤣
@SUGIPULABOULE no u didnt
Yep. I have 3 daughters and I am Hungarian. I speak English ,Dutch , Italian and they speak better english than Hungarian....
Szisztok én maygar vagyok szoval ja szetintem nehéz megtanulni magyarul mert hát magyar órákon lenni kész rémálom 😂
My great grandpa was born in Hungary and came to the US as a boy. I'd love to go back to the village where he was born. ♥️
Bikács in Tolna.
@@KMH6290 You can apply for a hungarian citizenship if you want if you descendance come from Hungary
@ He emigrated to the US before World War 1 when the country was still Austria-Hungary. May not apply to him.
Ohhh, you should totally go!! From where in Hungary was he? ☺️
Mine was too. I'm in the exact same situation as you. Istvan Matyas from Bereg, which I believe was incorporated into Ukraine after WW1, when it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Done a fair bit of travelling around Europe and I thought Budapest was the best city to visit. Can't wait to go back
Totally agree, my fav city in Europe!
It is an amazing city, no doubt, i enjoy the times i have been there. I also recommend Bratislava, thats not far from Budapest, and also a great city. Cheers
@@XkollapsX yesss! Visited Bratislava also, great little city for an overnight trip! Hope to visit the Baltic countries this year. Any European destinations on your list for 2021?
@@meganmorris6155 Not really at this moment, but I Hope i can visit Budapest in the fall. In 2019 i was 1 week in Krakow and then i took a flixbus to Budapest and spendt 2 weeks there. Krakow is also a great city. I Hope i can to to Warszawa soon, i should have been there in the summer 2020,but not possible. I have not been there since 1992,so was really looking forward to it, im sure it have changed alot. What about ur plans? Cheers.
It's because here it's safe and Hungarian so of course it's amazing.
Study at Budapest for 3 months. One of best moment of my life...👍😎
That must have been an incredible experience! I have also done different exchange programs and don’t regret at all😍
Hungary is Magyarorszag. Magyar is the word for Hungarian (both language and people).
Esztergom is a really cool place to visit. Cheap raill and really comfy trains. The Basilica there is beautiful. Spent two weeks in Budapest in 2018. River cruise at night and the tour of the Parliament building was memorable. Churches are beautfiful.
Oh that’s a great tip, thank you Larry ☺️ good to hear that trains are reliable! I prefer using public transport when traveling
If you see that line and words on some taxis: "private"... just ignore them. Dodge them like the plague. As a Hungarian It's just my very humble advise.
Budapest is one of my favorite cities, it’s soo beautiful 😍❤️
1:08 "köszönöm" is pronounced with a "k" sound!
My grandpa immigrated from Hungary as a little boy and served in the Marines during WWII. I'd love to take a trip and see the homeland.
Hungary welcomes you bro😉
@@ferenczoltan7901 thankyou 🙏
Beautiful city; had a fabulous time there
3:45 that is NOT palinka. You do NOT want to drink palinka AFTER eating. Palinka is in small shot glass and its very strong.
Go to spots like Esztergom, and Szob very nice places along the Danube. Get not only the Goulash but pay only in Forints.
My favorite composers are Hungarian. I'd love to do a composer tour of Europe.
Fabulous video! I really want to visit Budapest, it's really high on my list.
I'm Hungarian but have never been this was very helpful and just on time thx.
I pitched my wife on living in Budapest for a month on our digital nomad adventure because of your video series. Great stuff, love the format and can't wait to see more.
MAGYAR! Haha Always happy to see you talking about my home country. ☺️

You sure will Brother! Soon the Balkan borders will be redrawn. The Serbs get parts of "Bosnia" and Délvidék shall return to Mother Hungary. "Nem teremhet Bánát a rácnak kenyeret!
Magyar szél fog fúni a Kárpátok felett!"
@Maria Hewitt "While we shall all be glad to be homeward bound, yet we cannot but feel some regrets at leaving Hungary. Personally I came here rather inclined to condone or extenuate much of the Roumanian procedure, but their outrageous conduct in violation of all international law, decency, and humane considerations, has made me become an advocate of the Hungarian cause. Turning over portions of Hungary with its civilized and refined population will be like turning over Texas and California to the Mexicans. The great Powers of the Allies should hang their heads in shame for what they allowed to take place in this country after an armistice. It would be just as sensible to insist also that Switzerland, on account of her mixed French, German, and Italian population, be subdivided into three states, as to insist upon the illogical ethnographic subdivision and distribution of the territory and people of old Hungary. It is simply another case of the application of long-range theory as against actual conditions. The Hungarians certainly have many defects, at least from an American point of view, but they are so far superior to any of their neighbors that it is a crime against civilization to continue with the proposed dismemberment of this country."

Köszönöm - Thank you
I visited Budapest in 2019 it was a really good experience! I reccomend Hungary.
Thank you for your tips. Going to Budapest soon
Good video, lots of great info.
Thanks for these tips! We're hoping to visit Hungary soon 🇭🇺🤞🏼😄
Go. Went in 2019 and it's awesome. Make sure to get out of Budapest and visit places like the Danube Bend, Eger, and Lake Balaton among other places.
@@michaeltravelingtheworld4688 @Sarah & Marek Yes! The Danube Bend is particularly beautiful. I recommend visiting Visegrád, where one of our most famous castle located. We have a tradition centered summer festival here (Visegrádi Nemzetközi Palotajátékok), with costume parade, medieval weapon fights, market for hand crafted goods and of course delicious local barbecue food.
@@desertBoTP wow! That sounds amazing 😄
Add Pécs too wine+ it was the European cultural capital( a lot of Turkish and roman building in/ under the city), so a lot to see (and Szeged, because it has a beautiful and big city center , rebuilt in th 19 th century) so these two towns are worth to visit.
Sry I forgot Hévíz , it is a natural spa, but it is a lake, very unique. At least worth to google it if you are interested.
My grandparents emigrated to the USA from Hungary, so I always wanted to go visit the country they came from. I spent two weeks in Budapest, which was not nearly enough time. Such a beautiful and interesting city. I stayed near the Opera house in Pest. There was a metro station near the hotel, so that's how I got around (besides a ton of walking). And, yes, they do often check your validated fare, and I've been told you do NOT want to get a ticket. I guess they're pretty steep. Anyway, I'd love to go back again and spend at least two more weeks!
You can get the citizenship if you want to learn a bit of Hungarian. Free pass to any European country, you don’t have to wait in the long queues for immigration because you’re “one of us”.
:3 The Hungarian language is on my bucket list, but I already have already studied languages like Malayalam and Mongolian that have structural similarities (no historical relationship).
That fan that mentioned you the underground cave system was actually me :D
THanks again Gabor!
So cute thanks
The public transport is integrated to Google maps, so you can easily plan your route there
I am a big fan of your videos and I am frequent traveler ,I have always looked into your videos before any of my destinations. always helpful tips , so I would like to comment on one thing , I think it will be better when you are filming that you use wireless microphone so it will pick up your voice better or you can simply detach the audio with imovie or whatever program and use the new Adobe Audio software that purify the wind in your videos. other than that, I hope you will get soon to 1 M subscribers ,
looking forward to more videos of you .probably going to be to Saudi Arabia where I come ftom.
You're greats, and a good presenter, you choose one of the best views In Budapest to do your video :D
I've always wanted to visit Hungary! The country, people, food, and scenery look AMAZING! The history of the country fascinates me very much! I'm saving this video, so I can refer to it when I go out there. I can wait to visit there one day!
GO! Budapest is amazing. It's my favorite city in Europe.
@@chuckdraper7776 What did you like most about Budapest?
@@WanderlustAweSyndrome Everything. The people are friendly. The thermal baths. The architecture, and the House of Terror. Take a ride up the castle hill funicular.
@@chuckdraper7776 Thanks for the info! I'll keep this in mind when I go to Hungary!
I was supposed to go last summer, thanks for showing me around!
Good job
A bucket list country for me. Was supposed to go this October but we are pushing that to next year.
That was great ❤️
@7:00 Mark says the most dubious part of visiting Budapest is the taxi service. I guess he never encountered the *lost friendly girls.* 😆😆
Stop watching p0rn man. It's poison.
@@MrBasinator You’ve never visited Budapest or actually done any research I see. 😆
@@tosht2515 😂 correct
Such an informative video, you are really well prepared! If anyone needs some help with local things before visiting, you can write to me or if you are already in Hungary and have some questions, i'd recommend you to walk up to young people, there is a pretty high chance they will speak english... Hungary loves y'all
Hello, I'm a Mexican university student thinking of studying abroad next semester in Hungary, I've some questions regarding the current situation in Hungary and I can't seem to find much information in English.

Jó napot! Eger is great! It sits at the base of the Bükk mountains, surrounded by vineyards. I lived there one year and had the opportunity to travel all over the country. I particularly liked Szeged, Pécs and Kecskemét.
Learn more about how to get from Liszt Ferenc Airport 2 to the City Centre! 😇😊
just popped in to say hi, been following your channel for a while 👍🏻
ps: been to budapest and absolutely loved it
Would you go back, Adam☺️
@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon of course i would, it's only a two hour flight
Hungarian 4G network is in the top 10 in the world, you shouldn't have problem using data.
I've been living in Hungary for 6 years, still nem beszélek magyarul :(
It's alright brother, you'll get there eventually 😉 (a few more decades and ur good to go)🤣
The locals want to practice their English? 😁 Btw, the Mormons manage to get to a good intermediate level within a year, so it can't be that difficult.
I went to Budapest in 2019 and used Bolt (their Uber) and found it much simpler and more affordable to use than the taxis. I totally agree with you on the Air BNB rec, amazing the accommodations you can score there for very inexpensive.
That's interesting because they are (unfortunately) exactly the same price.
Awesome video
My internet bestie is from Hungary! I wanna Visit it :)))
I love paprika! 90% of my favorite dishes are made with paprika (Halászlé, pörkölt, gulyáslevesek, hortobágyi húsos palacsinta, lecsó, paprikás krumpli galuskával és kolbásszal..stb.)
One transport tip (note may have changed): If booking night trains, it’s easier & cheaper to book with Czech Railway / Austrian ÖBB than it is with MAV (Hungarian Railway). When I wanted to the “Metropolitan” night train between Prague and Budapest, it was also cheaper to go P>B instead of B>P.
-You can use a bank card to pay in most places. Visa and MC are both accepted. Contactless and NFC payment are becoming more popular.
-Lot of thermal baths in Budapest and in Hungary.
-Instead of Uber we have Bolt. Also all taxis in Budapest are required to be yellow and to have yellow number plates.
-Carsharing is available: Greengo, MOL Limo, Sharenow Budapest
-According to legend Hunor and Magor were two ancestors of the nation, therefore the words Hungarian and Magyar.
-The language depends on where you come from. If you speak turkish or some southern slavic language it will be easy to learn but for chinese or american english speakers it's usually blood and tears.
-It's pronounced "Budapesht" :)
The natural environment is very beautiful all over the country, we have probably the most thermal spas per sqaure km/mi. It is not all about Budapest. Ticket validation is not necessary if you buy a daily, 3-7 days public transportation pass.
I've only been to Budapest (Great city obviously) but would like to revisit the country.
Don't worry about the bad rates or commission when changing money. You can use your credit card at almost every vendor in Hungary.
Budapest is not equal to Hungary. It's an important fact.
I really like the way you present Budapest and Hungary. Thank you for that.
Just one thing I missed. I didn't hear you mention Margaret Island (Margit-sziget) in your videos. It is a beautiful park island in the middle of the Danube not too far off the Parliament, that is accessible from Margaret Bridge (Margit-híd) or Árpád Bridge. It is like a smaller equivalent of New Yorks Central park for the people of Budapest. It has two public baths, the "Sport" bath and Palatinus, also there are some ruins of a monastery, a small petting zoo, a big Fountain at the Margaret bridge side, and on the other end there is the "Music Fountain", and a nice flowergarden with a little pond. It is a perfect spot to chill when you had enough of the 'city'. You can also rent pedal carts if you want to. If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out.
You write: köszönöm = thank you, but say: nöszönöm. 🤭
What phone service do you use?
Here one for the books Magyarorszag translated into English does not mean Hungary , the word Hungary in Hungary language is ehes meaning I am hungry the meaning of Magyar is a member people who originated in the Urais and Orszag means County so as it seams I am hungry all the time lol hence saying this I think your videos on my homeland are cute
Im here and no its not cheap in budapest
Slow service is the best enjoy your coffee or beer/wine and people watch while you wait non issue when I visited Loved Budapest ready to go back
Most Hungarian food, not fast food, need time to cook .
Love it. Thanks! It looks like a reasonably priced way to see some castles, amazing architecture and such. I need to stop watching your videos. I keep adding places to my list. ;)
Which is the first place which you’d visit when you can travel? ☺️
@@VASIGTravelingLifeinLondon I am going to Italy with my daughter. She's never been there. :)
Should I do 3 or 4 days in Budapest?
Wolter, do you have plans to go to Estonia soon? I’ve heard it’s an up and coming big tech hub, so the WiFi might be phenomenal, plus it’s beautiful and cheap. Lots of ex-pats going to live there. Your opinion?
A piece of advice is that if you have several free days to go to the countryside, there is a lot of novelty and interesting things there as well.
Love the map at the beginning of this video!!
I agree, it makes it very informative! That’s why I love his videos and try to make similar ones on my channel 🤗
They have Bolt it's similar to Uber and cheaper than taxis
I like ur video! Thank u! (Im from Hungary) Please show the other parts of Hungary to the people, not always only Budapest! We have nice different larger cities, worth to visit ! Their square more cleaner, and colourfull than Budapest. And more green parks with lots of flowers! Please dont omit our spa! U can not imagine how much and so great spas and aqvapark u can have a good time! :) Come again! U re welcome always!
Hey Andrea, I agree about the spas! I’d go back to Hungary just because of that 😍
The baths in budapest, idk wtf they are called but they are amazing. Its a load of pools ranging from public to lazy river which are all heated to something like 30-40 degrees celsius and is just incredible. Im not sure how they operate now atm with covid they might not be available but if they ever do (or are already) accesible definitely go.
Some baths' water is not heated, but cooled down. The Széchenyi Thermal Baths' water is 74-76 degree Celsius. It has to be cooled down. 😊
The baths are open atm but you can only visit them if you are vaccinated and you have immunity certificate.
100 dlls is about 40000 huf meals here are about 7500-9000 huf per person.
Rent a car budget in city center i paid 397 with insurance for 5 days
They WILL accept the EURO and some menus at restaurants will have a menu with prices in Forints or EURO. Don't try to pay in dollars especially when using a credit card.
Wait, how did you enter Hungary?? I thought only Hungarian citizen were allowed to enter?
I want to know the same thing
On the language, here's a little history. According to legend there were 2 brothers, Magyor and Hunor. From Hunor came the Huns and from Magyor came the Magyars (Hungarians). The Huns under Atilla came from Central Asia conquered much of Europe in the 5th century until they were defeated. Then in 896, Árpad and his Magyars came to the Carpathian Basin and created Hungary. HUNgary. Also, everything else is spot on.
The money points you mentioned are awesome because I had this problem when I went to Hungary before Covid. I changed currency in Milan airport and I didn't notice that I almost lost 25% of the value as commission, in Budapest airport they took less and when I returned the money before I leave through an exchange house I guess I wasted even more. I need to know one point though, sometimes when we travel they ask us if we pay by card if we want to pay in my country's currency or in the visited country currency what option is best here?
So when you're at an atm or paying by card should you pay in your own currency like euros or should you pay in the local currency?
Always, always in local currency
@Maria Hewitt yes
I've noticed this in your past couple videos, there's a weird jittering, or shaking, in the B-roll shots. only happening w/these vids.
First
I’m Hungarian btw
Your country is GORGEOUS!
I l live in Budapest and Mark gives some great advice, the best place to change money if you need to is next to the Blaha Metro Sation at Arany Change on 5 Erzsebet Kerut, whatever you do NOT change it with someone you meet, you will more than likely get fake or old bills
I Like Your Wolters World Tours. A World Tour is on My Bucket List When I Win a Lottery. I Can Dream, Can't I? (smile)
I didn't know English was widely spoken in Hungary nowadays thank you
Widely spoken is an exaggeration. I am Hungarian, I've been living and working in the UK for 15 years, so If you bump into me or someone like me in Hungary when you're there, you'll have no problem. But most people don't speak foreign languages well in my country. People over the age of 40, people in their fifties and sixties and above don't speak a word of English or any foreign language for that matter.
Reason is that in the communist era they were only taught Russian in school, there were a few other options as well but not in small towns or country side villages and cities, mainly only in Budapest. I am 40 this year and only had the option to learn Russian until I was 13 years old, then I picked up German and English in school. Despite my parents learning Russian all their youth, they hardly remember it and still can't speak it.
So if you visit my country don't expect older people to speak English, even younger people's knowledge is quite basic because they only learnt it in school, majority of them never had to use it in every day life. I believe in the list of countries about foreign language proficiency, my country is in a very bad position, maybe only the UK is worse. 😁
@Maria Hewitt Yes, but I meant english people only, not foreigners. English people don't speak languages, they expect everyone else to understand english.
@Maria Hewitt Yes, it is but Hungarian ppl don't speak foreign languages. Obviously there are exceptions but in general if you stop someone on the street they won't speak english, about 8 out of 10 times roughly..
It is, by the youth and younger generation. Not necessarily by the older generation (there are some exceptions tho) so try to talk to kids and you'll be fine😂
I thought Budapest was closed to tourists??? Or was this recorded during pre-COVID?
i may be wrong but i believe Walter lives in Europe, however, from 15th June the EU is opening frontiers for tourists within the EU countries plus a very few non EU countries which are very much ahead with vaccinations, uses same vaccines (AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna etc) and have had consistently decreasing Covid cases, this includes Israel and the US
@@adamwnt yeah Israel and USA, Hungary and Serbia and UK are one of the highest in vaccination rates in Europe

You named the language. The name for the country is Magyarorszag.
Nice to know some stuff about traveling Hungary.
What I would have liked more is the exact prices from the things you describe. You often say how much something costs in this and that country but here I'd like to know more than "it's cheap"
I mean... People told me that Czech is cheap but when I was there it definetly wasn't as people told me
Local Here what do you exatly want to know?
@@Rowht Stuff like: How costs a one course meal with a beverage if I'm like 200m away from railway station. How much does cost an average beer in a small store or is 10€ a lot or small price to pay for entry tickets etc.

Love your videos..but what's up recently with that camera shift?
now that I read your comment I can see it. Thankxxxx
My maternal grandmother was born in Buda.
Budapest is a wonderful city. I love the yellow line I think it is with the little tune it plays before the doors close.
Ride a bike along the Danube.
The City has an authentic charm.
Too bad Orban and his dark suit chainsmoking security forces are so common.
Can't go back till he is gone.
4G is pretty much aver all in Hungary, even in smaller towns. If you're on a train or just walking in some really remote area you might not have it everywhere, but where you would reasonably need it, it's there.
Can you do New York State? Like Buffalo, Hudson Valley, and etc.
Don't take the regular taxis in Budapest. Use an App called Bolt. Bolt is like Uber/Lyft but works with taxis. It's much cheaper.
In Hungary Instead of Uber has an app called Oszkár telekocsi, butt its almost the same.
Also hungarian is one of the oldest language. Ancient languages doesn’t have a thing like he/she, hungarian has ő only.
Ez mondjuk pont úgy hülyeség, ahogy van, de nem baj. :)
Budapest is a fantastic city. One of Europe's most beautiful in my opinion. We stayed a few days near lake Balaton but I found that a bit lost glory. We also toured the countryside which is pretty poor but still a lot better than Albania or Romania. I would definitely visit Budapest again. About the rest of Hungary I am a bit less enthousiastic though there definitily some very nice places.
There are some beautiful cities like Sopron, Győr, Pécs.
Food takes long, because all restaurant make it fresh, at time you order it.
Look at the buttom of the menu(s), where stating all food made from scratch , takes 20-25 minutes to be served.
Unlike here in the U.S. all food is pre-made just warmed up when you ordered at any restaurant.
I don't understand how you got to visit the country. It's closed to tourists from the U.S. How did you pull that off?
It was recorded in may 2019.
@@gaborrab4785 Okay. I saw it was posted yesterday and thought he was there now. Darn, I thought he had a way around the rules. Perhaps it will open up for the vaccinated soon. I so much want to go there.
@@cashstore1 there will be a loophole soon, some matches of the football European championship will be held in Budapest, you can come in for those, but I’m not entirely sure about the details. Also, I was pretty sure about the time because that fan he mentions who gave him tips in the city was actually me, he posted a photo on Instagram about us, so the time stamp was pretty certain xD
Speaking of not taking the conversion rates that stores will offer (because you don’t have any foreign money on you):
We went to Canada just before the pandemic, and before we could find a place to convert our money, I saw a street vendor selling poutine, and we were starving, so he let us pay with American money FOR AN EVEN EXCHANGE. So we paid $5 US for something that cost $5 CAN. But it was worth it! 😂😂😂
Haha i run out of fuel(almost) at the Italian-Austrian border in the Alps, and their freakin fule station won't accept any of my credit cards. I didn't have euros on me just Swiss Frank so i i kindly asked the guy next to me if he could gimmie 10 EUR for 20 CHF. I was so happy! (In reality 20 CHF is worth 18 euros not 10 but i did not care)
@@Vismajor01 I’m surprised CHF aren’t worth more than EUR!
@@JPMJPM it's worth more, 1 chf is 0.9 euros. I guess it matters when you change millions
I would just like to add that do not use those ATMs shown in this video(Euronet) They charge a much higher fee. Use any other atm you can find.
And just install bolt which is a similar app to uber.
that's exactly true, they're all over europe and the interesting thing is that the company is from the silicon valley (california) so all that exorbitant commission goes there while they're using that misleading european name
The other day I had a freelance offer to take me from Keleti station to Deak Forenc for $30 US. Hahaha no thanks. That’s like 3 subway stops. Get the metro card, far better.
What is nüszünüm? :) it starts with a "k". My gf is asian and even she can say "k". :) its köszönöm, not nöszönöm. :P
I am confused.. hungarian borders are closed for international tourism. I do see people walking around with masks. How did you travel to hungary?
