What are you planning for your next city break?

I have my trip rebooked for the 4th time because of the e pandemic, but I book for my Bday for 3 nigths 9th to 12nd January 2022. It’s safe to travel?!

Bit of correction. The Széchenyi bath IS in an easy place to access. The Metro 1, our oldest, and nicest metro line goes from the very center of the city and terminates right at the steps of the bath. So it would be silly to take a taxi or Bolt. There are also bus lines. In fact, I think taking a taxi might be slower due to traffic. And definitely much more expensive. The 24h ticket you can buy at any BKK terminal is 5$ and you can use every single public transport within the city with it.

[@jacklawsontravel]

Hi Adam, yes you're right I missed the Metro when I was in the city and people have since corrected me on this. Thanks for sharing this information in the comments 🙂

[@simonpilk]

Totally agreed. I often stay around the Opera area and part of the charm is to take M1 with the lovely little trains to the thermal baths. So so easy!

Hey, very excellent video, great job. Just had a question about where you can find the boat cruise with dinner and drinks, also would you reserve the ride?

[@jacklawsontravel]

Thank you! If you go down to Szechenyi bridge and go down to the river bank and walk in the direction of the parliament building you can find a few stalls a long here. They seemed nice but for me I just did a simple one hour river cruise, but just because of how the timings worked out.

You must choose public transport in Budapest (especially metro)-cheaper and faster too.

[@jacklawsontravel]

Yea the metro system in Budapest is great!

Can I travel from the Budapest Airport to city centre?

Great video. Do you still need a negative test ion entry from U.K. even if fully vaccinated? Many thanks

I believe you can enter Hungary from the UK as long as you can provide results of a negative PCR test from the last 72 hours.

[@paulasanford1228]

Ive been researching my trip months, but you gave me more insight than anyone or site, how many days do you recommend? I have 18 days for all Europe

[@jacklawsontravel]

Oh thanks for the kind words! Oh wow that's not a lot of time for all of europe. I would say for most cities you can spend around 3/4 days in each. What other cities/places are you planning on seeing??

[@tombombadil9123]

if you really knew Budapest you wouldn't recommend taking a cab. there's a top-notch public transport system that will take you wherever you want - cheaper and in many cases faster then a cab especially if you go to Szechenyi furdo where there is a metro station right outside the entrance

[@jacklawsontravel]

Well this is just my experience, the pubic transport system is great in Budapest but when I was there I found the cabs to be really cheap and a fast way of travelling around major a European city. If you know the city well, maybe you should create a video and let people know what you think is best to do.

[@MrGyulaBudai]

Bolt is just 1 of around 15 taxi companies. All yellow taxis have the same price set by government. Gellert spa is more historical and beautiful than Szechenyi better to visit for tourist.

[@jacklawsontravel]

Yea I like that it helps to stop tourists from being ripped off. Yea i liked both, such a great thing to do after a day of sight seeing.

Yea that's true when you come from the UK drinks seems super cheap aha. Especailly when compared to London haha

[@JS-wk4vf]

Hi mate I’m from UK myself I am travelling to Budapest in March , what did you do about currency did you use euros or local currency while there what did you find best

[@jacklawsontravel]

I used the Hungarian forint, it's best to use, the pound is super strong against the Hungarian forint so it's far cheaper to use this.

[@tombombadil9123]

BTW prices, especially tickets for baths and other attractions, keep getting higher and higher. so if you plan to visit Budapest - you already missed the best time to do it 😆

[@jacklawsontravel]

I mean the prices listed in the video are still accurate and if a city becomes popular inflation always follows, but even so it's still very cheap to visit. Especially when compared to other European cities.

[@tombombadil9123]

@@jacklawsontravel agreed. it's just that Budapest was dirt cheap comparatively 10 years ago. now they are catching up, but are still cheaper then most big tourist cities. BTW after seeing some of your other vids I think I misjudged you, basing my opinion solely on this Budapest video. you are in fact a good egg

[@jacklawsontravel]

[@jacklawsontravel]

That's no problem, you can find super cheap Air Bnb's right in the centre of the city, the Jewish quarter is a great place to stay. Hostelworld.com is a great website to use for Hostels, you can use a map view when booking to make sure you're where you want to be.

HOW DO I GET FROM AIRPORT TO GELLERT HOTEL ON THE BUDA SIDE?

[@jacklawsontravel]

From the airport you can either get a cab for the most direct route but but cheapest is to get the airport shuttle bus called 100e to Kálvin tér M then it's a 14 min walk to the hotel. But if you don't want to walk you can take a tram from this bus stop to the Hotel Gellert.

[@curvydiver]

Why use taxi when the public transport is amazing!!

[@GreatCityAttractions]

Agreed most European cities have great public transport options.
