💱 MONEY EXCHANGE

In Hungary the currency is Hungarian forint, but in general you can pay by bankcard almost everywhere.
At the moment the exchange rate is quite hectic it should be between 380 - 400 HUF = 1 €.
Do not exchange money at the airport because the rates are extremely bad! If there is no other chance only change around 4000 HUF for public transport tickets. You will find an
exchange office
⁠
in KÖKI, which is a supermarket close to the airport.
⁠

🧳 WEATHER

The average July temperature of Hungary is between 26-29°C, with lots of sunshine, but it is the second rainiest month after May. The country is in a continental climate belt, which means that it is unpredictable. The daily average temperature could reach 32°C, then two days later it’s all of a sudden raining, so make sure to pack a raincoat or umbrella for these occasions. During the night the temperature can drop significantly from 29°C to 17°C or even more, so make sure to have a warm jacket or sweater with you.

It gives you access to medically necessary, state-provided health care under the same conditions and at the same cost (free in some countries) as you are insured in your country.
