Public transport in Hungary, especially in Budapest, is highly efficient. The system includes the metro, trams, and buses, which are punctual and cover the entire city. For intercity travel, trains are the best option, offering comfort and good connections to places like Debrecen and Pécs. Consider buying a transport pass to save money if you plan to use it frequently. Renting a car is useful for exploring rural areas, but in Budapest, it is unnecessary due to traffic and the ease of public transport. Taxis are common, but make sure they use the meter or agree on the price before getting in.

Hungary offers a wide range of accommodations, from luxury hotels in central Budapest to budget hostels and rental apartments. In the capital, the Pest areas (near the Parliament) are ideal if you are looking for nightlife and main attractions, while Buda offers more tranquility and panoramic views. For a more local experience, consider staying in an apartment outside the main tourist areas. In smaller cities, you will find cozy guesthouses and family-run hotels. Booking in advance, especially during high season, will help you get better prices and locations.

Hungary is generally a safe country, but as in any tourist destination, you should be vigilant. Be careful of pickpockets in crowded areas such as the metro, trams, and around major tourist attractions. Taxi scams are common; use travel apps or taxis from known companies. In restaurants, check the bill carefully to avoid unrequested extra charges. Never accept offers of help from strangers at ATMs. Keep your valuables secure and use common sense, especially at night. Remember that the currency is the Hungarian Forint (HUF), not the Euro, and some scams involve confusion with change.

Hungarians are reserved but hospitable people. It is customary to greet with a handshake. When entering shops or restaurants, a simple 'Jó napot' (good day) is appreciated. Tipping is expected in restaurants and taxis (around 10%). In thermal baths, follow the rules of hygiene and dress code. Avoid talking about politics or history unless invited by a local. Unlike Peru, where punctuality can be flexible, in Hungary, being punctual for appointments is highly valued. Showing respect for the elderly and traditions is important. Do not clink beer glasses, as this tradition dates back to a historical military defeat.

Hungarian cuisine is rich and spicy, highlighting the use of paprika. You cannot leave without trying Goulash, a meat and vegetable stew. Other essential dishes include Halászlé (fish soup) and Lángos (fried bread with sour cream and cheese). In Budapest, explore the central markets to sample authentic street food or visit a traditional 'etterem' (restaurant). The national drink is Palinka, a strong fruit brandy; drink it in moderation. Try Tokaji wines, famous worldwide. Meal times are similar to those in Peru, with lunch being the main meal of the day.

The official currency is the Hungarian Forint (HUF). Although some tourist places accept Euros, it is always better to pay in HUF to avoid poor exchange rates. You can exchange money at banks or ATMs. Peruvian citizens do not need a visa for short stays (up to 90 days) within the Schengen area, to which Hungary belongs. However, you will need ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) starting in 2025. Make sure you have travel insurance that covers medical emergencies. Connectivity is excellent, with Wi-Fi available in most hotels and cafes, and local SIM cards at reasonable prices.
