CHANGING MONEY IN BUDAPEST The Hungarian national currency is Forint. The rate fluctuates from 280 to 320 to the Euro. You can check the daily rate on many websites before you come here. Do not change too much money at the airport. Every airport money changer has bad rates, not just in Budapest. Change the necessary amount for your journey to the city centre, then you can find better money changers (a little harder late at night though). In the city centre avoid the change bureaus of Interchange, they have very tricky rates. Their shop's design is usually orange. Make sure the difference between the buying and selling rate is less than 2% (e.g. buying Euros at 302, selling at 306), this means they are fair. Banks are ok for money changing, but the best rates are given by small money changers, such as Gold Change, Correct Change, etc. |
