Tourist Trap: Evil taxi drivers!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Be careful of which taxis you get into when you are in Budapest. They will try to rip you off whenever they have the chance. I got into an unmarked taxi--it was the next one in line at the train station--and he took the long way to my destination. Then he asked for double what he told me the price was going to be. I started arguing with the guy, but I realized it was useless because I do not speak Hungarian and the police would probably side with him. This experience really tainted my memories of Budapest and I really don't care to go there ever again.
