I realise I need to eat better so I am up early and treat myself to a proper breakfast. It's delicious but I am a little stressed about catching my flight.
Fortunately I get back to Berlin airport very quickly and catch it fine.
I arrive at Budapest Ferenc Liszt airport in the afternoon. I debate getting some local currency at the airport but decide not to. I usually try to take the local currency with me on a trip but since the pandemic I have found it's harder to pay by cash and most places want card only. If I'm going to a country that doesn't take the euro then I don't want to end up with leftover currency that I do not use because it is wasteful. The currency in Budapest is the Hungarian Forint. Buy Hungarian forint (HUF) | GBP to HUF
I take the Airport shuttle bus to my hostel. I usually try to get a return but you can only get a single. It costs 2,200 FORINT for a shuttle bus single.
So here we are in Budapest!
For this trip I am staying at the Maverick Central Market. I have a room for three nights and I go back to Scotland on Monday.
Please see information on this hostel here- Maverick Lodges Central Market Budapest | Best Price Beds I would stay here again but it was very expensive so I would book more in advance. I like that I can cook here but the vibe was quite dead/quiet.
I chose this location as it was close to to the Budapest Danube and I like being near water.
That evening I go a language exchange event at Paris Texas Kavehaz and meet a few locals and have a drink. You can find this venue on instagram here; instagram.com/explore/locations/682447478564845/paris-texas-kavehaz/
