Транспорт

• Общественный транспорт

  BudapestGO

  Official BKK app for route planning and buying tickets and passes for metro, trams, buses and trolleybuses. Day and multi-day passes are usually cheaper than single tickets. EU citizens 65+ ride free.

• Приложение для вызова такси

  Bolt

  The main ride app in Budapest. Rides are done by licensed taxis at the regulated tariff, with the price shown before booking. Good way to avoid street taxi overcharging.

• Такси

  Fotaxi / City Taxi

  Use official yellow taxis with a meter and company name, or order by phone/app. Fotaxi is the official airport taxi. Budapest taxi fares are fixed by the city (base fee plus per km and per minute), so every licensed taxi charges the same rate.

• Приложение для вызова такси

  Uber

  Uber left Hungary in 2016. Reports say it returned in 2024 working with Fotaxi, but availability is patchy (varies). Bolt is the more reliable choice.

• Прокат велосипедов

  MOL Bubi

  City bike share with about 200 docking stations in Budapest, open 24 hours, rented through the MOL Bubi app.

• Электросамокаты

  Lime / Dott

  Dockless e-scooters in central Budapest, unlocked by app and charged per minute. Some zones have speed limits and no-parking areas.

• Поезда

  MAV (Hungarian State Railways)

  Trains from Budapest to Lake Balaton, Eger, Pecs and abroad. Buy tickets in the MAV app or at machines. Volanbusz runs the long-distance bus network.

Деньги и наличные

Валюта: HUF · Hungarian forint

Cards and phone payments are accepted almost everywhere in Budapest, including most taxis and markets. Keep some forint coins and small notes for tips, toilets and small stalls. Euros are sometimes accepted in tourist spots but at a poor rate. Use bank ATMs (not Euronet), always choose to be charged in HUF, and never change money on the street.

Чаевые

Tipping is customary in Hungary, usually around 10-15% when service is good. Many restaurants, especially in central Budapest, now add a service charge (szervizdij) of 10-15% to the bill. If a service charge is on the bill you do not need to tip on top of it.

Полезные фразы

• A számlát kérem. The bill, please.
• Benne van a szervízdíj? Is the service charge included?
• Kerekítse fel ... forintra, kérem. Please make it ... forints (round up to this total).

Этикет

• Greet shop and restaurant staff with 'Jó napot' (good day); a handshake is the normal greeting when meeting people.
• Old tradition: some Hungarians avoid clinking beer glasses (linked to the 1848-49 revolution). Clinking wine or palinka is fine.
• Say 'Egészségedre' (cheers) and make eye contact when toasting.
• In thermal baths, follow posted rules: swimwear required in most pools, swim caps in lap pools, shower first.
• Cover shoulders and avoid beachwear when visiting churches and the Great Synagogue (men cover heads in the synagogue; kippas provided).
• Validate paper tickets before travel or have a valid digital ticket; inspectors fine on the spot.
• Bargaining is not normal in shops; only light haggling at flea markets.

Схемы обмана и что с ними делать

• Overpriced bar or restaurant bill

  Где: Budapest centre, especially around Vaci utca and nightlife streets

  Как это работает: Bars and restaurants with no clear prices charge huge amounts for drinks or food, and staff may escort tourists to an ATM to pay.

  Как избежать: Check a menu with prices before ordering and check the bill carefully. If threatened, call 112 and do not go to an ATM with staff.

• Friendly women invite you to a bar

  Где: Central Pest, evenings

  Как это работает: Women approach men on the street, suggest a drink at a bar they choose, then the bill runs to hundreds of euros and security forces payment.

  Как избежать: Decline invitations to a specific bar from strangers; choose the venue yourself and see prices first.

• Taxi touts and fake taxis

  Где: Keleti and Nyugati stations, airport arrivals, tourist spots

  Как это работает: Unlicensed or rogue drivers quote high flat fares or use rigged meters. Some get commissions for taking tourists to rip-off bars.

  Как избежать: Use Bolt, the official Fotaxi stand at the airport, or phone a licensed company. Licensed Budapest taxis are yellow with a meter.

• Street money changers and bad exchange booths

  Где: Tourist streets and stations

  Как это работает: Street changers hand over fake or out-of-date notes; some booths advertise 'no commission' but give poor rates.

  Как избежать: Never change money on the street. Use bank ATMs or compare the real rate before exchanging.

• Dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals

  Где: Euronet ATMs, shops, restaurants

  Как это работает: The machine or terminal offers to charge you in your home currency at a bad rate, often with high ATM fees.

  Как избежать: Always choose to pay in HUF and prefer bank ATMs.

• Extra tip demand on top of service charge

  Где: Tourist-area restaurants

  Как это работает: Staff claim the service charge does not go to them and ask for an additional tip.

  Как избежать: By law the service charge goes to staff. Politely decline an extra tip if service charge is already on the bill.

• Pickpocketing teams

  Где: Metro line 2 and 3, tram 4/6, Keleti station, Christmas markets, ruin bars

  Как это работает: Groups jostle or distract in crowds and lift phones and wallets.

  Как избежать: Keep valuables in front pockets or a zipped bag, especially on crowded transport.

Безопасность

• Hungary has low violent crime; the main risk is pickpocketing and bag snatching, especially on busy public transport, at stations and markets.
• Pickpocket hotspots: metro stations, trams 4 and 6, Keleti and Nyugati stations, Vaci utca, Christmas markets, the ruin bar district (District VII) and Danube cruise boarding points.
• Drink spiking has been reported in Budapest bars: buy your own drinks and keep them in sight.
• Railway stations can be rough at night; take a Bolt or licensed taxi rather than walking long distances late.
• Use bank ATMs inside banks where possible and check for tampering.
• Carry ID (passport or ID card); police can ask for it.

Насколько распространён английский

Good in central Budapest hotels, restaurants and with younger people; limited among older people and outside the big cities. German is also fairly widely understood.
