I am Hungarian and I found this video very useful and informative. 😊 Thanks for sharing useful information about my home land ❤️
I would like to give an additional sightseeing idea: There are yellow electric train lines on both side of the Danube river in downtown. Traveling on them You can have a cheap sightseing - in case You have a seat facing to the river banks and there are not too many people inside the tram. I always enjoyed travelling on these trains. The view was worth to wait for an emptier train in the rash hours. I hope You'll enjoy staying in Hungary. 😊
I went to Budapest a few months ago, it was awesome. Beautiful architecture, thriving streets and markets and truly amazing cuisine.
Thanks, really happy to hear you had a good time here 😊

Will be going to Budapest this weekend. Thank you
This was suuuuper useful, thanks for making this!!
Koszonom szepen Akos... you are very helpful
will be going to Budapest next month! HUGE thanks for the tips!!!
Happy to hear you found the tips useful and I really hope you'll enjoy your stay in Budapest when you come :)
Köszönöm for your videos! I will visit Budapest for the first time in three weeks, and many of your tips will be very helpful, among others to visit Klauzal market as an alternative to the central market, since my apartment I booked will be close to that location.
Thanks man, great great video
Thank you! Looking forward to coming.
Literally in Budapest when this video came out. The timing could not have been better!
Enjoy your time here! 😊
Many thanks, very helpful!
Soooooo interesting. Thank you 😊
A legjobb videók ! Részletes, lényegre törő! Megtisztelő, hogy milyen szépen kimond magyar szavakat! Mentalitásával, kitűnő hangulatot teremt. Mint a szél úgy eladja ,népszerűsíti Budapestet! Thank you!
Köszönöm szépen a kedves üzenetet :)
To feel the Budapest atmosphere even more, it's a good idea to take bus number 7 and visit the Market Hall at Bosnyak ter in the Zugló district. An unusual idea (for those who have a lot of time) may also be a walk through... the Kerepesi Cemetery, which is the Hungarian equivalent of Pere Lachaise in Paris.
Thanks for another interesting episode. 👍
To save money on attractions or transport to grab an extra beer in the evening is the best advice one can get!
Thanks! Indeed the Fiumei Road Cemetery (Kerepesi Cemetery) is a unique place to visit, especially on the "Day to remember those who passed away" when many candles light up the place.
Sf😊😊
how and where I can take bus 7 please?
Bus 7 is a major line going through most of Budapest all the way from the outskirts in Pest and Down in Buda, through the center of the city stopping at Keleti railway station, Blaha Lujza square and Astoria. Sitting through the whole line is like getting a crash course in Budapest from the Panel Buildings from Socialist times, through the peaceful suburbs with houses and gardens, through the city center with older and more crumbling buildings but also the refurbished areas too.
Very informative video!
Great tips. Thanks for sharing.👍🌻
Great video ❤ Thanks
Love your video and love Budapest. Been there sooo many times and always had a great time.

Nice content. I saw plenty of videos for planning my 3 weeks Europe trip, but found your content to be most helpful!
Thank you! I hope you'll have a great 3 weeks in Europe and perhaps Budapest can be a highlight of your trip 😊
All stuffed Cabbage's videos are clear, informative and accurate. The best I've found on Budapest! I have subscribed!
Thank you so much for the kind comment! :)
This is one of the most helpful videos I've seen. Not just for Budapest but in general. I'll definitely use all these tips when I go to Budapest in a couple of months. Thank you
Thank you so much, happy to hear you found it useful 😊 I hope your visit to Budapest will be full of fun times 😊
Fantastic
I’m coming to Budapest in a few days, and this video is a life saver. Thanks a lot for sharing this video with us ❤
Glad to hear! :) Hope you'll enjoy your time here! :)
Szia Akos, Your videos are pretty helpful even for international people who live in Budapest currently :)) Keep it up, and let us know more about this gorgeous city. Koszonjuk Szepen.
Hey, thanks! Happy to hear you find these useful! 😃 gives us more motivation to keep going! 😊
This video is amazing thank you for all the tips,we will go in april and definetly we will save some money with your tips.
April is very nice time for a visit, I hope you'll have pleasant weather and will enjoy your time here :)
This is excellent! We will be in Budapest in June or July, this Vlog is exactly what we need. Subscribed.
Thank you! I hope you will have a great time in Budapest when you visit in June! 😊
9:55 I'll counter you there by walking a mile to the railway station at Veces and getting a dirt cheap single to Nyugati
3:10 I'd also recommend the Fehérvári úti Market hall in Újbuda, it is right next to the southern Terminus of Tram 4. My grandma always used to go shopping there in the early morning for fresh vegetables or other ad hoc things she needed for cooking that day.
Oh yes, and there are some really nice food places on the top floor there 😍 not "fancy nice" of course but "simply yummy" :)
That was a lot of REALLY useful information. I wish you'd made this video before my trip! Oh, well. I'll save it for next time :D
Hehhe, thanks! There is always a good reason to come back to Budapest 😊
We got the 15 day and it was awesome so easy and cheap
Your videos are fantastic! They make me feel like I'm already in Budapest, experiencing the beauty and culture of the beautiful city. I'm going there in a couple of weeks with my friends and I'm using your tips and recommendations to plan our trip. Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge with us. By the way, I have decided to respect your opinion and make sure my friends and I get the chimney cake but without the ice cream! 😂 I can’t wait for langos and
You have made me so ready for the trip and hungry too. goulash, too! There is a Hungarian restaurant by my home in the US and I am excited to try the wonderful food in Budapest now. Köszönöm szépen! 😊
Thank you so much for the detailed and nice message :) I hope when you visit with your friends you'll have a great time here and can enjoy many of the dishes you may have tried in that Hungarian restaurant near your home :) Nice to hear our cuisine can be available in places far away from our country too :)
Love your videos, they are always so helpful :) I just went to Budapest last month but I'm considering coming back for the New Year. Is it possible for you to make a video about that at one point? Because until now I haven't been able to find any useful videos about where to stay, where to eat and where to go on New Years Eve.
Thank you! Glad you find them useful! :) Regarding New Years eve, we'll probably won't be making a video about that any time soon. What I can tell you is that there are two kinds of people when it comes to new years: Those who either spend the eve with their friends/family, or those who go out to bars, clubs or roam the streets for fun. There will still be a lot of people in the city center :) Places like bars and restaurants don't become "better or special" for new years, so essentially, there isn't any particular place to recommend for the evening. If you wish to have a nice dinner at a restaurant, you should book a table in advance, and for some clubs and bars, there may be a queue to get in. Of course people are a bit more upbeat and energetic, so that is what really defines the new years, and not the places themselves :) Regarding where to stay, during the night, the night service buses operate, and of course it's a prime day for taxi drivers (just don't use freelancers, only use taxis via apps, like Bolt). Since it's a popular time to visit Budapest, prices for Hotels may be a bit higher, and availability may be less. I hope these notes help a bit :)
Great help for my planning. I'm about to go in four days ahead.
It will be a 6 days / 5 evenings stay, right in the center, for our family (5 persons). Thanks for your tips.
Glad to hear you found this useful! I hope you'll enjoy your time here in Budapest 😊
Will be there with our 5 month old baby as a family at the end of this month and cannot wait! It will be my second time in Budapest! Hope it won’t be rainy and cold so we can explore more!
Hey there! Hope you'll have a good time! End of October can be tricky, it certainly won't be too warm, but not too cold either and may be ideal for touring the city. Unfortunately rain can occur randomly any time during autumn, but I hope you'll have good weather when here 😊
¡Gracias!
Thank you so much for the support! :)
OMG this is exactly what I need thank you so muchhh 😭🙏🥰 +1 sub and like 👍
Koszi szepen , vegre talaltam valakit aki nem allandoan a Szechenyi-furdot es a hulye fagyis kurtoskalacsot ajanlja, biztosan elkuldom ezt a videot ismeroseimnek aki Bp-re utazik!
Nagyon köszönjük a támogatást :)
Good informations
Thanks, glad you found it informative 😊
❤❤❤😊 thanks
thanx
Hi Akos 👋 I'm so grateful for your videos. I will be visiting Budapest next year and I I'm not familiar with the city at all. I think I have bookmarked almost all of your videos! I was wondering if you also do private tours? Please let me know. Thank you so much!
Hey there! Glad to hear these videos can help with your planning :) Regarding guided tours, at this stage we don't do such activities, maybe in the future, but for now it's not something we can fit into our schedule 😊
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures ok, thank you for the information! I'll keep watching your videos to plan my trip!
Want to visit your gorgeous city soon, plz make a detailed vlog on Budapest Card
I hope when you'll visit, you'll enjoy your time here! :) I believe we covered as much as we could about the Budapest travel card in this video, but we may try to explain it further next year :)
I came on girls trip to Budapest last month, we went to gillbert hill from one of your suggestions, and the view was better than the one from buda Castle. We also tried langos and loved it, also lovely Italian food at okay Italia near marmara hotel. thank you for awesome suggestions.
Happy to hear you had a good time here in Budapest! And I agree, The views from Gellért hill are indeed better because you can also see the castle too 😊
This was greatt! Thanks for all the info!
One question, what would be the closest (safe) hostel to Puskas stadium?!
Hey there! Unfortunately I am not too familiar with hostels and hotels near Puskás Stadium, but I would say try to look for one on the northern side of Kerepesi road (running on the south side of the stadium) that area is more convenient, south of the road there is a large historic cemetery and lots of train tracks 😊 Budapest is generally safe, so you should be fine if you remain on the northern side of the road I mentioned 😊
Great video! Just want to share another money saving tip. My family and I spent a week in Budapest last month. We bought 24-hour group travel cards that can be used for a family of 5 pax.The travel card cost 5000 HUF each day. The BKK staff only needed to scan 1 travel card for my whole family. We saved time and money with the 24-hour group travel card! New York Cafe is a very beautiful cafe! We enjoyed Budapest very much. köszönöm a videóidat!
Thank you so much! Also for sharing this useful tip, there are so many tickets and passes of the local public transport sometimes even for a us living here it may be overwhelming 😊 good to know now there is this useful pass for families!
Szia Akos! I visited Budapest twice long ago (1996 and 2001) and found very affordable food at little stand up places to eat called, I think, "Buffe". They had lots of open faced sandwiches, whole fried fish on sticks, small salads, etc. Do those still exist in Budapest or are they all long gone? Your videos are great and keep making them and I am sure more followers will come!
There are still a few Büfé style places but not too many in the center, few in some markets, indeed those are also a cheap alternative but have less local flavours, more like standard stuff, however I do enjoy a schnitzel sandwich from Büfés sometimes 😊
Thanks for letting me know! Planning to visit in the next 1-2 years.@@StuffedCabbageAdventures
Hello, I really love your videos! What place do you recommend to visit now in winter but outside budapest?
Hey there! Szentendre is generally a nice place to visit all year. Hiking in the Buda Mountains can be fun, going to Visegrad castle is also a good idea. Or going to Hollókő where besides enjoying the nice traditional village you can also hike some in the nearby mountains :) (although it's the furthest from all options.)
Great video,
Is 7 days in Budapest a lot?
Cheers
Perhaps for Budapest only: yes it may be more than enough, but 7 days gives you opportunity to do some day trips like going to Szentendre, hike in the Buda mountains, visit Esztergom or Visegrád, or spend an evening in Eger to have some wine, or spend a day at Balaton (during summer). So even a 7 day itinerary can get easily full if you expand your scope beyond Budapest :)
Great videos!! I’m going to Budapest next month staying in district 6. I want authentic, hole in the wall small restaurants. Non touristy!! Where is the best district for that?
Thanks, glad you enjoy the content 😊 to be honest, there aren't many non touristy restaurants in the central area. Not a hole in the wall but closer to authentic may be Regős Vendéglő. A place that I recently found and is more of an authentic rusty place was Cibere Étkezde, but that's not a restaurant it's more of a buffet style restaurant, but I enjoyed the simple food and the atmosphere, definately not a tourist spot 😊
thank you for the video :) can you use the 72h ticket to the E100?
Nope, as noted the Special Service bus 100E needs a special ticket costing 2200 HUF 😊
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures Sorry i meant 200E 🥲
@@eatsmylife_ hehhe, I know it's confusing 😅 the answer is yes the pass works on the 200E bus, it will take you to a suburban subway station and from there the same pass works to take the metro 😊
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures thank you so much 😁 i'm going to "study" more your videos as my trip to Budapest approaching 📖and if you have an recommendation for a place that i can try vegetarian traditional dishes i'm all ears 😁
hey pal i am watching yr channel the last 2 days as me and my photography community we are coming end of january.we are photographers around the world and i really found yr channel very helpful.we are looking for bar and restaurants if you can recommend any? also i am looking for photographers to join us as we like to share knowledge fun and experience with locals photographers. Well done pal
Hey there! Glad to hear you enjoy our content! 😊 I hope you and your friends will have an excellent time here! Regarding Bars, Szimpla Kert is one of the most popular ruin bars. I would suggest visiting it perhaps in the afternoon as during the evening it can get packed, but on a Saturday afternoon it can be a very fun experience :) For restaurants, a few places to grab Hungarian food is Retek Bisztro or Gettó Gulyás, but for more contemporary food I really like Vakvarjú and Vígvarjú restaurants. There are many other excellent restaurants out there, but these came to my mind right now 😊
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures respect you are the man keep going
Would you please recommend some sightseeing in winter ( January) ??
Hey there! There aren't many things that are specific to Winter time in Budapest (except for the Christmas markets but those are not open in January any more). If there is snow, than going to Buda Mountains or at least to Normafa for a hike. If you enjoy ice skating then the Városligeti Outdoor Icerink is a historic place, one of the largest outdoor rinks in Europe. Other than these, you can pretty much enjoy the City almost the same way as any time of the year :)
Hi Sir Very Great Video Can You make Video On Hungarian Stipeduim I'm Applying This And Hope We Will Meet In Hungary, Thank You
Hey there! Nice to hear you have such plans, good luck with your application! Unfortunately I am not that well versed with the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship, but I'm sure there is sufficient into on their site and I see many videos about the topic on RUclips :)
Excellent tips. Thank you very much. Could I please know - Does the airport express 100E accept Master Card? To buy public transport tickets, metro, buses etc. is it possible to use the same Master Card at the booths? Can the Budapest Go App, be used for this please? Thanks for your reply :)
Hey there! Mastercard and Visa are the two most common accepted cards here, you won't have an issue using those anywhere :)
It won thu wonderi mhis near truabel.
What’s the first hotel you show in the background in the accommodations part.
Where you say “probably not this one”
It's the Four Seasons Gresham Palace. Definately not the place where one can go on a budget 😅
I’m currently in Budapest . Will you be my guide ? Haha
Hehhe, hope you enjoy your stay here :) at the moment we only do this "virtual" guiding via the RUclips Videos 😊
10:45 where can I purchase the Budapest travel card? Do they sell it at the train station? I will be travelling to BUD from PRG using the train
The Budapest Card can be purchased at a few locations in the city like at Deák tér in the center there is a large booth with large signs, hard to miss, or at BKK customer service centers, like at Keleti or Kelenföld railway station (I don't see one at Nyugati railway station). If you are looking for the regular public transport pass, most stations have vending machines, or the Budapest Go app can be used for digital tickets 😊
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures amazing reply and explanation. Will be going to BUD in May would be good if we can meet and you do a review of BUD from the perspective of Malaysian tourist 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Dear Ákos, Can you still buy a QUATERLY PASS at the airport? The BKK page is always down so I can't see the price. Do you know how much it is now?
Hey there, yep the Quarter Year pass still exists and costs 28,500 HUF 😊
Many thanks ! I have a question please , is it mandatory to validate 24 jours transport tickets ?
Hey there, for the pass you set the time of validity start, that is enogh no need to validate it afterwards. For front boarding Buses just need to show the driver the paper based pass, or when inspectors ask for it. If you use the Budapest Go app, you'll need to read the QR code if it's a Front Boarding bus, or there are inspectors at the Subway entrance :)
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures very clear , thank you so much! I like your videos ❤, I'am planning to visite Budapest in January it will ne my second visit 😊
where is your last scene? that shot of the parliament building!!
It's right across the Danube River at Batthyány tér 😊
Hello, I would like to know if, when you buy a 24-hour ticket for public transport, is it valid for the entire public transport or does it have to be bought separately for each public transport?
Hey there! Within the boundaries of Budapest all public transport vehicles can be used, but from tourism perspective, the Blue Buses, red trolley buses, yellow trams and green Hév (suburban railway) are all usable under the 24h travel pass. Just note that the special service bus from Airport to city center is excluded, it requires its own special ticket. We have a video where we explain the most important information about public transport, you can check that out too 😊
Is it allowed to bring food and drinks into the thermal baths or will they check the bags for it?
Hey there! No bag checks for food and drinks at entry, you can bring in those :) However you are not allowed to have items stored in glass containers.
👍🌹❤️
On BKK website, it lists 24 hr and 72 hr "Travelcard" and 15 days "Pass". Are "Travelcard" and "Pass" same? It reads like "Pass" requires ID cards. If it's true, are foreign tourists allowed to buy the 15 days Pass? Also, do both "Travelcard" and "Pass" need to be validated? Thank you.
Hey there! The difference in the words used mainly refers to the target audience but anyone can buy these. The 15 day pass is mainly focusing on Commuters, but you can still buy that as a tourist 😊 these are valid from purchase or time you set as validity start. You don't need to separately validate them, but with front boarding vehicles you'll need to scan a qr code and show your display to the driver to prove you have a valid pass/travelcard.
Can you use the 15 day ticket from the airport with the 200E bus?
Hey there! Yep, the 200E is a regular service bus and the pass works with it. Only the 100E is a special service bus with its own type of ticket 😊
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures Köszönöm
Hello, I'm going to Budapest with my family for a few days and I was wondering if public transport is paid for children? Thank you
Hey there Children under the age of 6 can travel free on the public transport 😊
I am planning on going next year, but I want to rent a car. How is the parking situation?
In Budapest itself driving around with a car may be a nightmare at times, and parking can get expensive in the center. Honestly, getting around is easier with public transport. Going to other cities and areas in Hungary is a different story: While trains and long distance buses are okay, sometimes it's faster to go by car, and parking is easier vs in Budapest. 🙂
I tried to do the calculation on the minibud service website, no matter what I do, I cannot have the 6 euro offer, the minimum amount I have to pay of a one-way transfer for 8 ppl is 8.8 euro, even return trip will be 7.2 euro/ppl
Yeah, there must be some strange calculation on their site because if I look at their Hungarian site they say the lowest price will be 2490 HUF per person, which comes out in the calculator with 8 people and return to me. But 2490 huf is around 6.39 euro today... strange...
Budapest used to be nice and cheap. I just returned from Budapest and things have changed a lot!!! The single ticket rule where you spend 1,25 euros for a single ride is just ridiculous. Now, almost everyone is rude and doesn't speak English and clearly they don't want tourists. On the other hand they completely overcharge them. For example a normal Langos should cost 2,50 euros but in most places they charge you around 10 euros. The same goes with the chimney cakes. The simplest one is 5 euros where it should be 2. If you add ice cream the price goes up to 10 euros. Furthermore they now charge the entrance to the Basilica for almost 7 euros. Ridiculous. They even charge the view from the Buda castle to Pest. I couldn't find a place that didn't want to rip me off and eat at normal prices. Every dish was highly overpriced. They charge 15% service even if you take it away. Not to mention the water. It costs 1 euro even at super markets like Spar. Cappuccino for 4,5 euros take away and simple ice creams for 5 euros. They think they are actually Paris. I talked with a lot of locals on the roads (mainly young people) and everybody agreed with me on these topics. All these combined with the rudeness. I am never going back. Never.
Sad to hear the city has let you down... honestly I think that Overcharging tourists is not specific to Budapest, a lot of cities that are popular with visitors unfortunately do similar things :( However as this and other of our videos show, there are ways to avoid the "tourist tax". But yes, in general over the last few years prices have gone up, and salaries didn't follow :(
Do they accept euros in Budapest?
Hey there! While there are places that accept Euros, please note that the exchange rate will be terrible. You can exchange Euros to Forint in the city center at some of the chain exchange places, but in general almost all places accept cards, so not much of cash is needed :)
How much is the liquor in budapest
Hey there. That depends on many things, the type of alcohol (Beer, Wine, Hard liqeur etc.) and also the place. A beer can be anything from 800 huf to 1800 huf or even more. 1 dl of wine will start from around same but can go sky high depending on quality. Whiskey, Pálinka etc can be from 1000 huf to 2000 huf or even more.... in outer districts you'll get the cheaper prices while in the center and at popular areas it will be expensive (like a beer in Szimpla kert is more 1800-2000 huf, Pálinka around 2500 huf etc.)
yeah, the Budapest Card sucks. I also found the Central Synagogue much too expensive. Best value as far as I'm concerned was Aquincum. Don't miss it if you are interested in Ancient Rome. It was like a miniature Pompeii.
Aquincum is definately off the beaten path and can be interesting for those who enjoy ancient history. 😊
