exchange
We suggest that you should change money after the arrival at a cashpoint machine or a bank. Changing money on the street is a bad idea! It's useful to bring your credit card but in Hungary you should always have cash with you because cards are not accepted at many places. The easiest way to get cash is from an ATM machine, however the best official rates for cash can be obtained inside banks. Exchange booths are also located throughout the city center, train stations and in most luxury hotels, but they offer less favourable rates than banks.
Banking hours in Hungary: Monday-Friday: 08:00 - 16:00 some of them are open on Saturdays too.
tips
Tip is the part of the business in Hungary. If you feel satisified with a service it’s expected to give a 10% extra at restaurants, bars, clubs or taxi drivers. But do it only if you feel that it’s deserved!
