The prices listed are the most average, but I must mention that in the hospitality industry, prices have increased significantly in the last 3-4 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/price-4-1024x625.jpg\" alt=\"restaurants prices in budapest\" class=\"wp-image-230\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">On Budapest&#8217;s main market, you&#8217;ll find plenty of eateries catering to tourists, offering sizable portions but also higher prices. For instance, the plate of food on the right costs 12,000 Forints, which is approximately 32 euros. However, there are many places where you can dine more affordably.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Dish<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price in Euros<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Soup (goulash, halaszle)<\/td><td>5 &#8211; 8<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Meat with side dish<\/td><td>from 10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Set lunch<\/td><td>5 &#8211; 6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Salad<\/td><td>6 &#8211; 7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Draft beer<\/td><td>3 &#8211; 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Palinka, Unicum (40ml)<\/td><td>from 2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dinner for two (2 main dishes + 2 beers + tip)<\/td><td>~ 30 &#8211; 40<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Langos (Hungarian fast food)<\/td><td>3 &#8211; 6<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Doner kebab<\/td><td>3 &#8211; 5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Restaurants Prices in Hungary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the situation in Hungary is as follows: if you want to have a hearty dinner in a reasonably priced restaurant in the center of any beautiful city in the country, you might order one soup for two, one salad, and two main dishes. With a bottle of wine and a tip, the bill will easily come to 80 &#8211; 100 euros, but it&#8217;s unlikely to be less than 50 euros.

You can practically reach any part of Hungary by train. On the other hand, if you&#8217;re traveling with a family, it might not be the most budget-friendly option. If you have 3-4 people, renting a car might be more cost-effective than using public transport across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For a detailed article on <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/public-transport-in-hungary\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2311\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the intercity public transport in Hungary<\/a>, including how to check schedules and buy tickets, you can follow the provided link.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/price-7-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"public transportation cost in hungary\" class=\"wp-image-233\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Public transport in Hungary, both in the country and in Budapest, is modern, efficient, and comfortable.

Many tourists are surprised to learn that Sz\u00e9chenyi Thermal Baths in Budapest are not the only option. They are simply the most popular among tourists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s worth noting that this form of entertainment is not the most budget-friendly, especially for larger families. However, this is the case across Europe; prices for water parks, thermal baths, saunas, and all water-related entertainment are generally high. Nevertheless, it&#8217;s worth every penny.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a table with prices for some of the thermal baths and water parks in the country. These prices are per person and include access to the full range of facilities: swimming pools, saunas, and thermal baths for the entire day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/hungary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/price-9.jpg\" alt=\"thermal bath prices in hungary\" class=\"wp-image-235\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Me in the Anna Thermal Baths in Szeged<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Baths, City<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price in Euros per Person<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sz\u00e9chenyi Thermal Baths, Budapest<\/td><td>30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gell\u00e9rt Baths, Budapest<\/td><td>30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aquaticum Spa, Debrecen<\/td><td>30<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thermal Baths, Eger<\/td><td>10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cave Baths, Miskolc-Tapolca<\/td><td>18<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lake H\u00e9v\u00edz, the world&#8217;s largest thermal lake<\/td><td>20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Anna Thermal Baths, Szeged<\/td><td>10<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prices for Thermal Baths in Hungary.

Yes, the country has become more expensive over the last five years. Some expense items, such as dining in cafes and restaurants, have caught up with prices in neighboring Austria. However, some things are still relatively inexpensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But let&#8217;s be honest, Hungary is at the heart of Europe and a full member of the European Union. It&#8217;s beautiful, delicious, and safe. The increase in prices to Central European levels was only a matter of time. It doesn&#8217;t detract from the joy of traveling in the country, and you&#8217;ll have a wonderful time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come to Hungary, it&#8217;s awesome!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT: Below are useful links that will help organize your trip to Hungary and Budapest:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"background-color:#f9f9fe\" class=\"has-background wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flight<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/wayaway.tp.st\/QTMqa33n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WayAway <\/a>&#8211; compares prices for flights among 30+ airlines flying to Budapest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tours and excursions:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/viator.tp.st\/oxrq9MSy\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/viator.tp.st\/oxrq9MSy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Viator<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/getyourguide.tp.st\/qMdO9yko\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/getyourguide.tp.st\/qMdO9yko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GetYourGuide<\/a> &#8211; the best services for finding tours in Budapest and Hungary with the largest database of activities in Hungary.
