1 Month Living in Budapest| 7 Things I've Noticed

[@erikas974]

I grew up in Budapest. I miss everything about it. It was so nice to see my hometown. Thank you for sharing your experience also the perfect pronunciation of Budapest. Hope one day I can return and see it all and hug my family. I have watched your visit in Szentendre where my Mum lives. Brought tears in my eyes.

[@Iusuallydontcommentbut...]

Nice review on my city, but about the affordability: it's only affordable for certain forigners or if you have a highly payed profession. The average salary is around 800-900 $. Now that rent is not so affordable.

[@Tyler_Teacher]

Hey, thanks for reaching out! Good point about the affordability of Budapest. As in most places, for people earning a local wage, most places tend to even out. However, for expats, digital nomads, or tourists, Budapest definitely offers some financial advantage to other European cities.

[@kcsnew]

I agree. Just been there in Budapest from May 13th to June 2nd stayed in two properties in the 5th and 7th Dist. Main plusses not touristy, excellent public transport hardly any waiting , I used buses, trams and metro. Lot of cafes and lot of grocery stores. Loved the thermal baths. Only downside and shocker most of the people either does not know English nor willing to talk to English. I felt locals not so welcoming of visitors, more like a land locked place. Hopefully they become more open minded in the years to come, but does not take away the city’s charm and the historic sites. I would love to visit again for a much more longer stay. Cheers 😀

Thanks for watching Michael! I found my place on Airbnb. It came at a bit of a premium compared to what you can get for a year long lease, but still a fraction of what you'd pay in the states.

[@eszterk8394]

it sure is affordable to foreigners and foreigners only - the prices you mentioned for renting a flat are pretty bad if you compare it to the typical hungarian salary, unfortunately

I am planning on visiting Budapest in May 2024 . I really would appreciate if you could share with me about wheelchair accessibility such as public transportation, if there is a wheelchair accessible taxis, hotels. Please any tips would be helpful to make my visit easier

[@attilasipos2968]

Bus 291 takes you to the chairlift from Nyugati railway station. The bus station is next to it. You have to go to the end station. You can buy a public transport pass at Terminal 2b of the airport for the duration of your stay. All Public Transport can be used. Except airport bus and chair lift. I always look for accommodation by using Google map and typing in Accommodation Budapest. Write the prices immediately. I don't recommend the chairlift area because it's far away, I'd rather recommend the city center. You have a question, I can answer it.

[@RUHappyATM]

How do you manage to get monthly rent of US$500? AirBnB shows 675 in Nov/Dec.

[@Tyler_Teacher]

Thanks for reaching out. I left Budapest in May of last year, which was tough to do on the cusp of summer. Although there were always plenty of things to do (indie cinemas, pubs, museums, etc) when the weather improved, the city became a lot more vibrant. The size of every cafe doubled with outdoor seating, the parks were filled with fragrant flowers, lush trees, and hammocks. Late Spring and summer is a wonderful time to be in Budapest.

[@Tyler_Teacher]

Hey Jordan, thanks for watching! While I’ve never been to Oslo, I’m sure you’ll find Budapest to be far more affordable. From February through May I witnessed the city come to life more each day. By the time I left in late may, the parks were full as were the many squares, and I’d totally fallen for the city. Budapest seems to me to be one of the most underrated options for expats not just in Europe, but worldwide. It’s a vibrant capitol city with easy access to nature and the rest of Europe. Of course your life at will vary wildly based on what type of work opportunities you have, but no matter what you’re looking for I feel confident that you’ll be able to find it in Budapest!

I thought about living there, I have been 3 times.. Its actually hard after awhile the language barrier, you would think a lot of the young people know English well.. that wasn't my experience, it drop me crazy after awhile.. Even if they knew English it was limited.. and who is going to actually learn Hungarian?!? I am still keeping it as an option to figure out how I can stay there permanently as an American..

[@malmurphy7636]

I am an American living in Budapest for just over a year now and my experience with people and speaking English has not been good. Even if they are young and can speak it, they prefer not to and will just turn to my partner who is Hungarian. It drives me crazy as well, there is not a lot of effort.

[@Tyler_Teacher]

Hey John, thanks for reaching out. You bring up a very interesting and often overlooked point. Language barriers can be a massive challenge as an expat. I now live in Prague, where the language barrier makes it difficult to do simple everyday tasks. Through my years of travel, I've learned to prioritize places in which I'm at least interested and open to learning a bit of the language. For this reason, I find I often consider moving back to Spain.

[@Tyler_Teacher]

I experience this very thing on a daily basis with my Czech partner here in Prague. On the one hand, I understand the desire for efficiency of communication, but on the other, having to rely on anyone, let alone a partner to do simple tasks can be rather dehumanizing.

[@stephenschuit7880]

It's interesting how folks do this: 1-month in a place and here are my reactions. You made this in February, so as you say, it is not possible way to assess the "normal" tourist flow that inundates the city beginning in April, or so. The cost of riding public transportation has already increased- it's now $1.32. After living (and loving) Budapest for 2-years, my experience is, yes, you can get by using only English, but it's case-by-case whether you run into people who can speak English. Lastly, you did not mention the nearly pervasive "dourness" that culturally exists in Hungary. It's easier to sense this objectively, once you travel to adjacent countries where the cultural tone is "happier," "more hopeful," and in a customer-service sense, simply "friendlier." I am referring to Slovakia, Slovenia and Croatia, where people are generally more welcoming.
