Everyday Costs in in Hungary

How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.

Currency Guide for Hungary (ISO Code: HU)

For travelers planning a week-long mid-range stay in Hungary, a good budget would be around 200,000 HUF (approximately 550 USD), which will allow you to enjoy a comfortable visit. Here’s a quick breakdown of typical daily expenses in Hungarian Forints (HUF):

  • 🍽️ Meal at a local restaurant: 3,000 HUF
  • ☕ Coffee: 800 HUF
  • 🚍 Public transport fare: 350 HUF
  • 📱 Prepaid SIM card: 5,000 HUF
  • 🏨 Budget hotel or Airbnb: 15,000 HUF

Overall, Hungary is considered an affordable destination compared to locations such as the United States or the UK. While a meal out or transport fares might touch the higher end of your budget, they still represent excellent value. Compared to the US, where a similar meal could average around 15 USD, and in the UK, where about 12 GBP could be expected, Hungary offers travelers significant cost savings without sacrificing quality.

Expat Living Costs and Banking Tips in Hungary

For expats living in Hungary, the typical monthly living costs hover around 330,000 HUF (approximately 925 USD), which includes rent, utilities, groceries, and leisure activities. When it comes to banking, while credit and debit cards are widely accepted, it's crucial to ensure your card provider has low foreign transaction fees. Many expats find it's beneficial to keep a local bank account for everyday expenses, as ATM withdrawals or purchases in HUF often provide better rates than converting cash abroad.

When considering how to handle money, using online transfer services like Wise or OFX can often provide better exchange rates than exchanging cash locally, primarily for larger amounts. For daily expenses, withdrawing cash from ATMs can also be a smart strategy, but be aware of the withdrawal limits and potential fees. In summary, for expats intending to settle in Hungary, understanding local banking practices and managing cash effectively can lead to significant savings.
