Budapest is an ambient city in which many people reside for a long term. Transportation is extremely accessible and most people are helpful. However, one of the most important notes when moving to Budapest is to make sure that you have acquired a good amount of the native language, i.e., Hungarian. People in the capital are more familiar and comfortable with their mother tongue; therefore, it would cause difficulties if you communicate with them in a foreign language such as English or German. Additionally, researching and preparing for accommodation before are recommended. The capital city is geographically diverse, it would come in handy later on when there is location involved.

Budapest is a gorgeous city full of nice people. They call Budapest the Paris of the East and we certainly think it lives up to its reputation. It has elegant boulevards. It has so much beautiful architecture. But it has much more grit and edge due to its years under communist rule. Walking its streets you can quickly tell that Budapest is a dynamic and living city. Know how to use public transport, because the roads are always busy. Certain parts of the city may be dangerous. Budapest is a very affordable city. I highly recommend it.

Budapest is a fantastic city with a rich history and an exciting present. The cost of living is fairly low, and whether your are moving for work or to attend one of our prestigious universities there will always be something for you to do in your free time. Culture and history tours are available year-round, both guided or independent, where you can enjoy getting to know the city. If history is not for you, then there are any number of bars, restaurants, and nightclubs where you can have an evening out with old friends, or go alone and make some new ones!
