Good to know before you go
The currency is the Hungarian forint, not the euro, and Hungarian is the language, though English is common in the centre. Getting around is a breeze: the metro (including historic Line 1), trams, and buses are cheap, frequent, and efficient, so you won't need a car, and the centre is very walkable; Bolt is the handy ride-hailing app for late nights. Tipping around ten percent is customary in restaurants.
