The Budapest Card is a tourist pass that offers unlimited travel on public transportation and discounts or free entry to many attractions and services around the city. There are several versions of the card, including 24-hour, 48-hour, 72-hour, 96-hour, and 120-hour options.
The card provides free entry to popular attractions like Buda Castle, the Hungarian National Museum, and the Budapest History Museum, as well as discounts on guided tours, restaurants, and thermal baths. Additionally, the card includes a free walking tour of both Buda and Pest.
Whether the Budapest Card is worth it depends on how much sightseeing you plan to do. If you’re visiting multiple museums and using public transportation frequently, it can offer significant savings. However, if you plan to explore the city more leisurely or focus on free attractions, it may not be necessary.
For active travelers who want to experience a wide range of attractions, the Budapest Card can be a cost-effective way to see the city.
