Budapest Warnings Or Dangers Tips by shrimp56

There are two potential problems I will mention for Budapest.
.
First -- ALWAYS validate your metro/tram ticket in the little orange machine. And validate a new ticket for each leg of your journey. The ticket inspectors single out tourists and they are MEAN! They actually announce in Hungarian at some of the metro stations when they are present! Deak Ter is one of their favorite stations.
.
Second -- don't wave down a taxi on the street -- the rates are not set and they can be extortionate. I think City Taxi is still the best one or get your hotel to call you a taxi. It will be a little more expensive than the best rate, but you won't get ripped off.

Budapest is a wonderful place -- these warnings are just a 'heads-up' -- otherwise have a wonderful time!
