Things you already know in Budapest

Past patients tell about shopping, travel and foods in Hungary (part1)

Did you find the same brands like home?
Donna (50) Kent: Yes, there is TESCO, and Aldi, Lidl and also SPAR. There is DM which is like Boots. There is M&S clothes but not food. Near the clinic there is a shopping center called Westend, where you can find everything you need. Most shops are open longer, and some are open 24/7 which is very convenient.

Is food different?
Geoff (50) London: As I noticed Hungarians eat a lot of pastry. There are these small window shops where you can buy both sweet and savory cakes. There are many old style coffee houses with Austrian and Hungarian cakes and sweets. 

There is a huge market called Lehel very close to the clinic. I recommend you visit it at least once. Hungarians have many pickled vegetables, and dairy products that are somehow different to what we have home. We tried some raw milk which was the best I ever had. There are many kebab and gyros places, but not so many Indian restaurants. See more Hungarian foods>

 

How to get around in the city?

Jan (70) Dusseldorf: For the appointments the clinic arranged pickup but we discovered quite a bit of the city on our own. Above the age of 65 you can use public transport free of charge in Budapest, but you need to have your ID card or passport with you to verify your age. My wife bought a city pass for 3 days which was approx 15EUR. The city center is not so big, but if you want to cross the river and go up the castle you need to take a bus. See Budapest sights>
