Someone moving to the city should know housing prices and the exact value of the money as I have seen many who are not aware and end up wasting. They should also be aware of how the people in the city view immigrants, and how transportation works as fines are applicable to those who use the transport system improperly.

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.

Watch out for the one-way roads, because they can confuse the person easily. Please, use public transport if using a car isn’t necessary. Using public transport much faster and greater than using cars, in Budapest, they are so many traffic jams because of the red lights. Watch out for the bridges, you can easily miss them. If you want to go to Margitsziget, you need to choose the Margit-bridge, but on the island, you can’t use cars, only bicycles. Make sure to see the famous buildings, like the Hungarian Parliament.

Budapest is a lovely city and the public transportation system is one of the best in the whole of Europe. There are always alternative transportation facilities available so that you are not stranded. A point to be made is that the majority of the population are old and they still carry the wounds from the past.
