Has anyone been to Hungary recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips

I was there in 2024 and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.

Any recent trip reports would be helpful.

Cheers

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Been going for years. Scene has shifted a bit but still good.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $150/day all-in.

Did you use local sites or find girls at bars?

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.
