Traveler reviews
Discounts, not free.
This card should be a great convenience, getting you into everything for free. Ok, having all public transportation accessible is great. On the other hand, too many attractions are not free, but only offer discounts. So I'm not sure that I got my money's worth out of it. Also, unlike in other cities like Prague, the card is not an app but has to be physically picked up. True, they can deliver it, but if like me your tardy and you want to have it Right Now, you have to go downtown to pick it up.
DO NOT BUY THIS CARD.
Do NOT buy this - it is very expensive and does not give you what you think for the money. Just buy a pass for the public transport from public transport not this one. Plus sometimes when they scan your card, they say you haven't paid. Even thought you bought a 72 hour card and you are only 1 day in. You will save money by avoiding this.
Budapest Card out of date & too expensive
I purchased a Budapest card for 4 days last week. I received a guide book dated 2025/2026 with the card. The prices I paid were either 20% more or the reduction was reduced from 20% to 10%. The hop-on-hop-off sightseeing bus listed in the book is no longer included. Save your money and pay as you go for attractions and services.
False advsertising.: 2025/2026 Budapest Guide prices and free services out-of-date.
Last Monday the 9.3.26 I bought a Budapest Card for 35`000 Forints for 4 days in the baggage claim terminal of the Budapest Airport. I was given a 2025/2026 Guide book. Soon afterwards we learned that the (discounted) prices in the book that said what we would pay with the Budapest Card were about 20% more expensive than printed- for i.e., the Synagogues and thermal baths and airport transportation. In addition, the On-Off Tour that I was looking forward to using was not free anymore . I find this false advertising and I certainly cannot recommend this card to others because of that. Hint: for unlimited public transit tickets, one can buy tickets at any ticket booth for a fraction of the Budapest Card rates. However, I can say that I very much enjoyed the Buda and Pest walking tours that were organized by the BKK, especially with Zoli, who spoke fantastic English and was very interesting and entertaining. I learned that I could have booked the same directly through another source for only 14 Euros.
Attention
Using the Budapest card is very convenient for public transport, because they are included, but for attractions you have to be careful what is included and what is not. You also have to consider how long you plan to stay in Budapest, as the card is valid in hours, depending on how long you choose to make it last. We did the 72 hours plus, but going back is not worth it, because for 50 euros more each, it included a wine tasting in one place, a langos in another and the entrance to the Matthias church (only church because the Tower is paid separately). So yes, very convenient, but be careful to evaluate which one is worth buying.
