Hungary – General Travel Tips

1. DM supermarket is present here as it is in Croatia. For big shopping, there are hypermarkets by Tesco located around the city.

2. Public Transportation: Convenient as the subway is (it’s hits all the major tourist spots, there are no lifts to take the pram down to the trains. That being said, it’s a short flight of stairs to the platform. Cabs are also available and reasonable. No car seats though.

3. Locals like kids: The people seem to like kids and there is that air of patience that surrounds smaller European towns. Beware that it’s a real tourist fest in the summers and that might affect general sentiment.

4. Cute toys and decor: In Budapest we found the most imaginative collection of wooden and ceramic toys for kids. Look out for five finger puppets and ceramic clocks.

5. Budapest airport has free wireless internet.

6. Useful words in Hungarian:

* Doctor : orvos
* Taxi : taxi
* Emergency : vészhelyzet
* Bathroom : fürdőszoba
