Planning a trip to Budapest or elsewhere in Hungary? Compare today’s Hungarian forint exchange rates before you buy and see how much travel money you will receive for your pounds.
Hungary is highly card-friendly, particularly in Budapest, but carrying a modest amount of forints remains useful for markets, small traders and as a backup.
The official currency of Hungary is the Hungarian forint, with the international currency code HUF. Hungary does not currently use the euro.
Current banknotes include:
These are the denominations in the current forint banknote series issued by the Magyar Nemzeti Bank.
Visa and Mastercard are accepted almost everywhere in Budapest, including hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, bars and tourist attractions. Since 2021, VAT-registered Hungarian businesses have generally been required to provide an electronic payment option, which has helped make card acceptance extremely widespread.
Cash is still useful for:
Hungary has also strengthened the legal status of cash. The Magyar Nemzeti Bank notes that payment with cash is now recognised as a fundamental right under Hungarian law.
Do not assume that because Hungary is in the EU you should pay in euros. Some tourist businesses may accept euros, but their exchange rate can be poor and change may be given in forints.
Hungarian forints are widely available from UK travel money providers.
Compare the total number of forints you will receive, including any delivery charges.
At besttravelmoney.com, relevant delivery costs are included in the comparison for your chosen order amount.
You probably do not need to carry your whole spending budget in cash. A modest supply of forints alongside a suitable fee-free card is the most practical combination for most visitors.
ATMs are widely available. Prefer machines belonging to recognised banks rather than standalone tourist ATMs, and if offered the choice, withdraw or pay in Hungarian forints, not pounds.
Major credit and debit cards can be used at ATMs and for payments in hotels, restaurants and shops throughout Hungary.
Cards are accepted almost everywhere, particularly in Budapest. Carry some forints for markets, small purchases and as a backup, but you are unlikely to need large amounts of cash.
Some businesses may accept euros, but Hungary’s official currency is the forint. Paying in HUF normally gives you a clearer price and avoids a poor merchant conversion rate.
