  • Please take either your passport or any ID that contains photo with you.

    The heart of Budapest, most districts are very safe to walk even during the night (even though the lapms on the streets are not too strong somewhere), but avoid some parts of the VIII, IX districts.

  • A lot of old buildings are demolished instead of renovation in the heart of Budapest.
    There are more activities to stop this as ÓVÁS! and SzeretemBudapestet. I wish they could be louder and louder to stop this destruction.

    On the photo: an old house on pedestrian Vaci str under construction (I dont know if they just make a new shape for it, or will demolish this building, but I read it will be a new department-building)

    Warnings Or Dangers: Don't Act Interested!!

  • Anywhere there are tourists, there are aggressive vendors and beggars. In Vaci Str artists wanting to draw you in five minutes will follow you if you acknowledge them.
    Also this guy on the photo, collecting charity for their temple.

    Just keep walking!! Ignore them and keep walking.

    I have seen lot of people being followed and hounded if they spoke or made eye contact!

    Warnings Or Dangers: Travelling in the city

  • While you are walking be aware very much of cars! It is not the US or Germany, that drivers tend to be nice and polite! Dont suppose they would stop, and also when it is green (go) for you, and cars are turning in your direction, always watch out!

    While travelling by public transport, always validate your ticket, because the travel company hired bouncers to act against those who dont. It is a big issue in the papers and the internet lately in Budapest, but you dont want to have any bad experiences, so just validate. Usually tickets must be purchased before you get on the bus/metro/whatever. We have two kind of machines the new one is orange and automatic, while some cases you find old red machines with the slot on the top where you place the ticket and pull the black part in your direction. It will make holes on the ticket.
