Money Matters
|
| The currency in Hungary is the forint. Check current exchange rates before traveling. Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards, and travelers checks are widely accepted throughout the country, however cash is always easier outside the large cities, so plan accordingly.
Currency exchange agents are located in the major cities and tourist areas (American Express, Thomas Cook). ATM machines are located at almost all major banks, but may be limited to bank hours and possibly closed on weekends.
Be careful not to carry too much cash and keep your money in a safe place at all times.
Before you go, it's a good idea to write down the customer service phone numbers and actual card numbers of your credit cards, passport, other ID, and bank cards - in case of loss or theft this will come in handy.

| Although winter in Hungary can be quite cold, spring, summer and fall are all quite comfortable times to visit Hungary. Summers are warm, and light cottons and linens are rcommended. Spring and fall can be beautiful as well, although November tends to be on the rainier side.
Appropriate gear for outdoor adventures such as hiking, canoeing and cycling is suggested.
