Practical tips for Hungary
- Hungary uses the Hungarian Forint (HUF), not the Euro; cards are widely accepted, but always choose to be charged in HUF rather than EUR to avoid unfavorable conversion rates.
- Always validate single public transit tickets before boarding buses, trams, or the metro, as plainclothes inspectors frequently check tickets and levy instant fines.
- Tipping 10-15% in sit-down restaurants is customary, but check your bill first since a service charge (szervizdíj) is often already included.
Fun fact about Hungary
Hungary has invented an astounding number of world-changing items, including the Rubik's Cube, the ballpoint pen (Bíró), holography, and the theory behind the hydrogen bomb!
