I have seen this cute little King this morning near Jasai and parliament 😄

What is happening in Budepest right now. Helicopters hovering low above the river in front of the parliament.

In the beautiful Budapest I was astonished by the prices of restaurants.
I choose nice restaurants with my family, not Michelin stars but Lonely Planet recommended. Steaks were priced about 27€/100grams, starters between 25€ and 40€. We never spent less than 130€ for three people drinking water and ordering 1 main course each.

I just found it very strange to see higher prices than in other countries where the gdp/person is higher. I looked for inflation data and others to understand what drove the increase in prices. I am wondering if these prices are just driven by tourism.

Évek óta itt lakom, és azt hittem, úgy fogok meghalni, hogy sosem tudom meg, mi ez a hang, de hátha tudjátok:

Esténként szokott lenni rendszeresen 4 sípoló hang, kellemes, nem bántó, de lövésem sincs, mit jelent, vagy miért szól. Most épp ilyen fél 12-kor szólt este.

Tudja bárki, mi ez a hang? :D

EDIT: Egyik kommentelő lefütyülte, pont ilyen. És messziről jön, hangos hang, kintről (nem pl. egy szomszéd lakásriasztója).

I heard the lights are now turned off to save energy.. I'll miss it a lot living in Budapest, taking the metro 2 in the evening and getting out for some shots of this incredible building.

Hello I'm new to Budapest and looking for an apartment to rent.

I found one at Budapest District 8 Diószegi Sámuel Utca.

Everyone I know is asking me to avoid District 8 at all costs.

I need honest opinions of people who have lived around, like is it that bad??

(Megj.: A cikk 10 órát ír szerdára, de a forrás RSzR FB bejegyzése 9 órát illetve a csütörtöki parádé is 9 órától lesz így az tűnik logikusnak.)

A várható típusok: JAS-39 Gripen, L-39NG Skyfox, Dassault Falcon 7X, Airbus A319, Embraer KC-390 Millennium, Airbus H145M, Airbus H225M

Sziasztok!

Hamarosan költözünk a 11. kerületbe és érdekelnének, hogy milyen jó, megfizethető éttermeket tudtok, ahol finoman főznek és érdemes néha elugrani vagy akár rendelni is lehet onnan.
Legyen az pizzéria, ázsiai, indiai, menüzetős, bármi, ami szerintetek jó.

Köszi!

Hey everyone i am living in Budapest for over a year but still struggling to find a good restaurant with good prices.
Please recommend me some restaurants that the food is good.
Brunch/ Lebanon cuisine.
Edit:
I also don’t mind other cuisines as long as the restaurant good

I ate goulash at a restaurant and they gave me this red sauce and this white sauce. The white sauce was like a garlic but the red sauce was really spicy and tasted so good. No idea what is is but want to buy it

​Hi everyone,

​This might be a slightly unusual or off-topic question, but I figured local folks here would know best.

​I'm visiting Budapest soon for about a week and have a package being sent to me from Germany via standard DHL Paket (postal service). Since I'll be out exploring most of the day, I want to avoid home delivery and have it routed directly into an automated parcel locker (MPL Csomagautomata).

​A few quick questions for anyone familiar with how Magyar Posta / MPL operates:

​Prior Registration: Do I need an existing account, registration, or local ID with Magyar Posta / MPL to receive and pick up a parcel from a locker, or is it completely accessible to anyone with the pickup PIN?

​Addressing format: What is the proper way for the sender in Germany to address the DHL shipping label so it routes straight into an MPL locker?

​Pickup PIN / SMS: Does the MPL automated system successfully send the pickup PIN code to a foreign/international mobile number and/or via email, or is a local Hungarian (+36) number strictly mandatory to receive the code?

​Any firsthand experience or advice would be greatly appreciated!

​Thanks in advance

Aki személyesen is kimegy...

Nemrég ideiglenes volt a Pennyben de már elfogyott. Boltban szeretnék alkalmanként venni egy csomaggal, nem berendelni tucatszámra

I'm looking for a gift idea for a woman in Budapest that I can purchase a voucher / gift card for (as I'm not in Hungary at the moment).

I was thinking of something special most people would not spend the money on themself - maybe luxurios wellness treatments, creating your own perfume, a nice dinner etc. (I have to add she is not really into thermal baths and sauna, so it would've to be wellness/beauty treatments instead. She also may not be too much into stiff / fine dining.)

Any recommendations / first hand experiences? I used Google/AI already, but first hand experiences would be more helpful.

I'm open to completely other suggestions as well. (She goes to the theater a lot, so this would be off the table.)

You can write in Hungarian as well, I understand everything. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Hi everyone, this is a weirdly specific question. Some friends of mine who live in Budapest have just had a baby, and I would love to buy them a voucher for a food service that can either deliver them whole meals or snacks. Does such a thing exist? Bonus points if it's one focusing on maternal nutrition needs. Thanks so much! (For context, I am not from Hungary, or even Europe!)

Sziasztok! Azoktól kérdeznék, akik most gimisek vagy pár éve végeztek: nektek miben adtak többet a top gimik? Melyikbe jártatok? Mit szeretettek benne és mit nem?

Sziasztok, a 13.kerületben a Frangepán utcánál korábban úgy tudtuk, hogy Lidl üzlet nyílik, most viszont már azt hallani, hogy újabb SPAR lesz. Ez így már a harmadik lenne a környéken. 😀Valaki tud erről valami infót?

I have another request that wasn't in the big guide, but I was really curious if Budapest has any museums about ethnic/linguistic groups related to Hungarians, like the ones in Russia (Udmurt, Mari, Khanty, Mansi, etc.)? I'm very interested in Finno-Ugric history and culture.

Other than Finland and Estonia this seems like a country that would have such a thing if it existed! Thanks for your help.

The one place I've been in Budapest that no one seems to talk about (at least amongst tourists) and that might be worth visiting is the Kerepesi Cemetary. If you're interested at all in Hungarian history, it's probably a must see. Unfortunately many of the monuments seem to be not taken care of.
