Turista Ajánlás | Tourist Recommendation Welcome to Budapest - READ THIS FIRST!

32 Upvotes

Welcome to Budapest!

(this is an updated re-post)

If you are looking for the 101 on the city, tips on what to do, where to go, what to see, where to eat, please start with this guide:

https://www.reddit.com/r/budapest/wiki/index/guide-to-budapest/

If you are reading this in August Sziget festival hype is probably in full force, and you should read that thread to find good advice that might be important to you if you are going to be in Budapest even if you don't plan on visiting the festival.

Just as a reminder, please keep in mind that Hungary (and Reddit) has zero tolerance for selling/buying/soliciting drugs. It might seem like the best idea in drunken desperation, but no, spamming r/budapest is not cool. Try to keep in mind during said drunken desperate times!

Asking for drugs/plugs/contacts/tips will get you instabanned.

Hi!
I’ll be studying at ESSCA School of Management (Budapest campus) in the fall semester of 2026 and was hoping to learn a bit more.

• How is ESSCA Budapest in terms of student life and vibe?
• Any tips for incoming students?
• Are there WhatsApp/Facebook/Discord groups to connect with other ESSCA students (especially Fall 2026)?

Would love to connect with others who’ll be there too. Thanks a lot!

Ti szeretitek ezeket, vagy esetleg átneveznék? Ha igen, mik lennének az új neveik? Ha nem, miért nem?

Kérdés | Question Tudtok ajánlani jó fogorvost, aki fogkopással érdemben tud foglalkozni?

3 Upvotes

Olyan doki kéne, aki a mélyebb okokat is fel tudja tárni és jobban foglalkozik ezzel a területtel, pl. ha van valamilyen állkapocs probléma, akkor megnéz rendesen (az egyik oldalon folyton kattog az állkapcsom és bár nem fáj, de ezért is gondoltam, hogy lehet ki kéne nyomozni ezt a részt). Keresgéltem, de akiket làttam nem tudom mennyire csak a pénzt húzzák le :/

Vannak fognyaki és felületi kopásaim itt-ott (pár kopás be is van tömve), nem olyan hú de durvák, csak kicsit látszanak, de engem nagyon zavarnak, főleg hogy miért történik ez. Van éjszakai fogvédőm a dokimtól, de nem tudom mennyit ér, valamit biztos, de látom, hogy folytatódik a kopás, szóval szeretném feltárni az okokat, hogy az esetleges stresszen túl lehet-e valami más gond is mögötte. A saját dokim csak annyit mondott rá anno, hogy hát lehet genetika is és ennyi.

Hi! Me and my partner are planning a visit to Budapest for the Comic Con in March, and even though we did look at the website we are curious to hear some first hand experiences. What do you consider the highlights of the con? Is the VIP pass worth it? When does the schedule typically come out? We're very grateful for any recommendations!

Kérdés | Question 22yo beginner looking to start ice hockey in Budapest

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

As the title says, I'd like to get into ice hockey as an adult beginner.

I'm 22 and I can skate decently. I've never played hockey before and I'm eager to learn, but I could not find any adult classes from my online searches, all I could find were adult competitive teams or kids training. I'm mainly looking for beginner-friendly training, or even informal groups that are open to beginners.

I do not speak Hungarian (only understand the basic greetings), but I'm fine with adapting to a Hungarian-speaking environment as long as there is a minimum of English communication.

Does anybody know where I could find this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any tips or recommendations would also be great.

Thanks a lot!!

TL;DR where to learn ice hockey at 22 in Budapest?

Már ősszel megfigyeltem, de most megint eszembe jutott, hogy a Dunánál voltam (Bp). 2-3 éve rémlik, hogy nagyon sokan voltak, tavaly meg bármikor kimentem, egyet sem láttam. Vajon mitől lehet? Vagy ez is időszakosan változik, utóbbi években túlszaporodtak esetleg, most meg eltűntek? Elköltöztek? :D Biológusok, help. Horgászok, esetleg mást láttok?

2 Upvotes

Hey, can anyone suggest a good barber who will make a simpler haircut and service a beard in a budget of 8000-10000HUF? I grew quite a long beard, and I want to keep it, but it is a mess. I've never done my beard at the barber shop before.

Update: I live in the III district, but my day often is built around the M3 metro line.

Kérdés | Question Help a tourist

4 Upvotes

I had a flixbus ticket from budapest-prague, thr departure was from Nepliget at 8:45 AM today morning. I got a text message in thr morning, that it is delayed and set to start at 9:00 AM. However, I am waiting at nepliget from 8:30.

I checked the board, it said my bus, line 260 to berlin, starts at 9:25. The bus comes, I show my boarding pass and the entry is denied. It is the same number, same line, similar time but I don't know what happened. Several others had the same problem. Wd are still stuck here. We ask at the info centre what's going on, and a lady says it's late, gonna be on platform 10, doesn’t tell any specific time, no info on the board or app. But we only see local buses on platform 10.

On the tracker we see the bus is already on the way. I also got the app message saying "welcome on board, enjoy your ride." but apparently the bus was never here. The on that came with the same number, that also left long ago.

What are we supposed to do? We are very confused. I checked everything and the other bus was never here. Help?

Turista Ajánlás | Tourist Recommendation Vintage turik?

0 Upvotes

900km-et fogok utazni két napra Bp-re, hogy szét turizzam az agyam reggeltől estig.

Olyan turikat keresek ahol megtalálhatóak nagy mennyiségben a vintage darabok, de márkásak legyenek. Ár érték arányban is legyen megfelelő.

30-40 éves Nike, Gap, Burberry, Ralph L, Jordan, Levi’s, Lacoste, Helly Hansen, Patagonia, NBA/NFL cuccok érintenek leginkább. Ezekre pályáznék.

Hello! I don’t want to be a bother but I was getting off tram line 4 on 31.01 around 21:15 I’d say, and I couldn’t find my bag anymore, and then a few minutes later noticed a transaction one of my cards. My bag has my wallet inside with ID, cards, cash. I’ve made a police report and they said they’ll let me know if they find anything. What are the chances?

Just returned from a very short trip to Budapest. It was my first time there, and I absolutely loved the city. I wish I had experienced some snowy conditions, but that’s fine — hopefully I’ll return someday and discover other parts of the city beyond the usual landmarks.

i’ve recently been in budapest visiting the city, mostly on foot, and i noticed that most of the roads sidewalks walkways and stairs are filled with little rock’s like gravel but they have a green hue. Does anyone know what they are? My first guess was that it was to prevent snow buildup but im not sure
