💱 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 and then you will find
exchange office
⁠
in KÖKI which is a supermarket close to the airport or there are ATMs close to the venue as well.
⁠

💱 EXTRA FEE

The reason for extra costs is because the host (Élménytár Tanoda) do not have enough resources to cover all the costs and they ask for a little contribution to carry on with this projects. This 45 EUR will be used to cover during your stay the meals (food).

🧳 WEATHER

June is a pleasant time in Hungary even with its hot temperatures and lots of warm sunshine. It is a continental climate, cold nights and possible rainings are not unheard of so make sure you pack your umbrella. However, this is rare and you’re more likely to experience mild temperatures with cool evenings. The average daily temperature is around 18-21°C, which is very pleasant but tends to drop to 11-16°C at night. At the warmest time of the day, temperatures are known to rise as high as 25°C.

⁠
⁠

It is advised to have your EHIC card before you travel to your project, if you are an EU resident.

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.

The European Health Insurance Card makes it easier for people from the European Union’s 28 Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland to access health care services during temporary visits abroad.
