Some people might not agree, but I find this card quite useful. It offers free unlimited travel on all means of public transport, discounts and free admissions to bunch of museums and galleries, discounts for some stores, restaurants, baths …

You’ll get a booklet with all card’s services.

Oh yeah, 72 hour Budapest card costs 5900 Ft. Can buy it at Tour-inform offices and travel agencies, hotels, train bus and main metro stations.
