Don’t forget to buy Hungarian Forints before you leave for Hungary
Hungary’s charm, thermal baths and its resplendent capital make you want to book a ticket and travel to the country ?Be well prepared in order to have an unforgettable and ideal stay. We advise future travellers to make sure they are well informed before taking off to any destination, especially regarding the use of the local currency in different contexts. The currency used is the Hungarian forint (huf). In some situations, it is always convenient to carry forints, either to facilitate payment or as a simple gesture of generosity which could be offering a tip. It is also important to bear in mind that sometimes, when abroad, there may be problems with your bank card and it would be wise to exchange euro huf before leaving. By doing so, you will be able to get a better purchase rate.
