16/09/2024

Congratulations! You’ve made it to Budapest – one of the most vibrant cities in Europe. Now, how do you survive your first semester like a pro? Here’s the ultimate guide to make your student life in Budapest as epic as the city itself.

 

  1. Master the Art of Hungarian Phrases

Want to win some local hearts or at least get extra smiles at the market? Learn a few key phrases! Start with “Jó napot” (Good day), “Köszönöm” (Thank you), and “Hol van a legjobb lángos?” (Where’s the best lángos?). Trust us; food always helps with making friends!

 

  1. Get to Know the Public Transport Like a Local

Budapest has an amazing public transport network that will get you anywhere you need to go – once you figure it out! Grab a monthly student pass for the best rates, and don’t be afraid to hop on a tram, bus, or metro. Bonus tip: Line 4-6 trams run 24/7, perfect for late-night adventures!

 

  1. Find Your Study Sanctuary

Móricz Student Living provides some of the coziest study spots around, but if you need a change of scenery, head to one of Budapest’s many libraries or charming coffee shops. Try Szatyor Bar and Cafe or Massolit Books & Cafe – perfect places to blend studying with a cup of coffee!

 

  1. Explore the City’s Hidden Gems

Forget the tourist traps and dive into the hidden gems of Budapest. Take a free walking tour to learn the city’s history, visit the lesser-known Fővám tér Market for local food, or explore Budapest’s street art in the District VII Jewish Quarter.

 

  1. Plan Your Weekends Like a pro

From thermal baths to ruin pubs, there’s never a dull moment in Budapest. Make the most of your weekends by visiting spots like Gellért Thermal Bath, exploring Margaret Island, or having a picnic on Gellért Hill with a view that’s Insta-worthy. (wink)
