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!
- 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!

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!

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.
- 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)
