Discounts, not free.

Victor_E, Aug 2026

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.

Very useful for a day of...

Claire_C, May 2025

Very useful for a day of sightseeing around Budapest. Good for using on the metro and a cruise on the Danube

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for your kind feedback, we are glad you could use out of your Budapest Card at it fully.

No perks, no access anywhere that's not already free.

Zaneta_M, Dec 2024

Don't purchase, everything on the card is already free. Sonthe only thing you are paying for is transportation, which is quick and easy and also 10x cheaper. You're welcome!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Most of the museums are not free but offer many discounts that you can enjoy with Budapest Card. All BKK facilities are free, and there is a detailed catalogue as well, describing the discounts you can get with the card. When planning your programs in Budapest, you should check what you want to visit and then decide whether or not it is worth it for you to buy the card.

Budapest is great!

JanMarie_W, Oct 2024

Budapest is a wonderful city with so much to see. Don't end up in the hospital! My husband was in the hospital for 3 days. The staff was good,the facility ugh!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We wish your husband a quick recovery! When he is feeling better, make sure to check out our other programs as well!

Good card.

Kevin_B, Aug 2024

Use of card is easy and transportation a breeze, but the directions for obtaining the card are confusing. It says they can be delivered to your hotel, but you still have to go somewhere else to register for them, but that turned out to be wrong! So we did extra steps for nothing.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad that the cards were useful to you and we hope you were able to use them in as many places as possible! We are happy with the feedback regarding the validation of the cards, we are trying to make the steps even more concrete so that we can make it easier for all our guests to use the cards immediately!

Family Trip 2024

Blanca_M, Aug 2024

Budapest is such a beautiful city, the Budapest card helped us so much, specially with the transportation being included. transportation system in Budapest is very easy and great

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad that you chose the Budapest card and we hope you were able to use the cards for many attractions!

Great time saving card

chad_h, Apr 2024

Great experience with the card, made using public transport really easy. Buses don’t really check for tickets but the metro can have inspectors you just show the card to, very easy to get into the included museums aswell and definitely a time saver.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

we are very happy that you were satisfied with the Budapest card and were able to use it during your stay here!

adventure

LiudmilaKravec, Mar 2023

Not able to find pick up point.Bad signposting. Should be more central points to pick up cards. Worth for public transport but some of the attractions hard to locate to.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

The opinions of all our guests and customers are very important to us! Thank you for your constructive criticism. So we can also fill up on this and try to use it to our advantage. A detailed little book can also be requested for the cards, which includes the exact title of each attraction, thus helping you travel!

Great card

Toni_G, Mar 2023

Fantastic card to have and helped us get around. The only issue was collecting it, we put the address in google maps and it sent us to the opposite side of the town so after a 3 mile walk we found a very hidden hotel that wasn’t signed as a hotel but apartments to get our passes. The stafff were very helpful and assisted us quickly as we were then running late for our booked trip. Would also be great to have it electronically on your phone

Response from Host, Mar 2023

We are very glad that you found the cards and were able to use the benefits!

Wasn’t worth my trouble

HeatherBrown, Feb 2023

I had to go out of the way to redeem the card. Then after an hours of searching we found the “redemption point” (which was NOT what was advertised as a redemption point, but in small writing at the bottom), THEN after all that I was unable to use it!! I paid €90 for nothing! NEVER ABLE TO USE IT.

Cool Card

BalkanTurist, Aug 2020

I love this card. Helped me entirely with logistics and itinerary. I did more than I planned since the card was accepted in many amazing sites. Recommended.

Oleg_V, Feb 2020

The card is good for public transportation but most of the valiue things are for 72 hours card and unfortunatly we came only for 2 days

Worth your money

JayasaiHarsha_K, Nov 2019

The card was pretty much good. But i had to travel all the way to the airport in order to collect the card as they did not send the card to my hotel as mentioned.

Shouldn't have bought it

Christina_K, Nov 2019

Compare to the Salzburg card you had to pay for all the exciting things.. Almost everywhere I went with my Budapest card they said 'not valid here'. Good for the transportations though

Response from Host, Nov 2019

Thank you for your feedback. With the Budapest Card, you should have got a booklet with all the places, attractions, and museums where the card is accepted. If you did not get that please write an e-mail with the booking details to review@hungariagroup.com. This way we can investigate it. Gabriella

Not satisfied

Michelle_D, Oct 2019

We were told the Budapest card would get us all transportation within Budapest. We still had to pay for the funicular and the hop on and hop off bus. Not satisfied with the amount we paid for this card and what we actually got for it.

Amazing Budapest!

Salinah Z, Sep 2019

It is really worthwhile to travel in Budapest with Budapest Card. Budapest Card allows me move around with ease.

Very handy

susan_b, Sep 2019

We bought 120 hour passes and used them constantly which was the best use of them for us. Some of the discounts on the leaflet you are given are out of date and no longer available.

British Airways Strike

obertgillan2019, Sep 2019

I was unable to use my card because the strike by British Airways pilots on 9th/10th September meant that I had to reschedule my plans, leaving me with no time to enjoy any of the benefits of having the card.

Pass is Ok

apollox9, Aug 2019

I assumed so many attractions are included in the pass but I was wrong. I will recommend buying it in Budapest and there are so many stalls everywhere in the city. Public transportation was included which is a good thing but other than that I do not see much use of having this.

Must buy!

Robertvesz, Jul 2019

I would recommend buying one before you arrive in Budapest. The free use of public transport is incredibly handy.

Worth Getting!

Marcia_A, Jun 2019

We didn't use it as much as we should have due to out of the area side trips from our cruise line. However, we did use the transportantion part of the card and that was well worth the prince as things we wished to visit were not close to our hotel.

Worth every cent

Lois C, Nov 2018

We were able to go everywhere in Budapest on this card and the free entry into some of the sites saved us a great deal of money.

Seniors getting around Budapest

Phillip_F, Aug 2018

Card paid for itself. Used on buses and trams by two seniors. Got on and off easily. System goes everywhere you want to visit. Got two museum entries free.

Carl C, Mar 2018

If you are planning on staying in Budapest for any length of time get one of these! You can travel on any public transport service Budapest has a great transport system for the duration of the ticket. The ticket can be ordered on-line and delivered to your hotel or pick up one from the airport.The ticket has a number of attraction discounts attached to it but the real worth is in the unlimited travel.

Michael_B, Feb 2018

The Budapest Card was a great convenience and value. And it helped us plan out our agenda for our Budapest vacation. And it was waiting for us when we arrived at our hotel. I would highly recommend it.

We ordered our cards to the hotel so...

Alyson Z, Feb 2018

We ordered our cards to the hotel so they were waiting for us on arrival which meant we could get out and about straight away. Good idea to check all the freebies and discounts you can access before you arrive so you can make the most of the card. Public transport was relatively easy with English announcements for stops on many of the buses we used.
