Hungary has quite cheap and well-developed public transport systems: metro, buses, trolleybuses, trams, and funiculars. The only drawback is that public transport is available only until eleven in the evening. Much as in many other countries, taxi services are widely used in Hungary and are a perfect choice when someone is in a hurry or needs to travel very late at night. There is also a possibility to rent and drive a car.

Official local currency is the Hungarian forint. Thousand forints equal approximately 3 euros and 19 cents. The standard of living in Hungary is similar to that in Lithuania, possibly somewhat on the lower side. However, Hungarian prices are varying. For example, a litre of petrol costs less than 300 forints, while ten public transport tickets will cost you as much as 1 100 forints.
