The costs of living in BUDAPEST (ft. actual prices of food, rent, travel and more)💸

Hi Petra, Nice to meet you 😊 Thanks for sharing everything openly with us.❤

Great explanations, thank you so much!!

Well one thing that is worth mentioning is the language barrier. In Budapest you can make it in English but in smaller cities it would be a whole different story. Hungarian is a notorious difficult language to learn(not impossible, but it will take a fair amount of time to become fluent)

A very good video to learn about Hungary, especially Budapest from a Hungarian youtuber !! 👍👍You covered a lot in this ! Good to know that you guys have many Asian restaurants. I didn't know that til recently ( learned from a Japanese youtuber who's living in Budapest )I am Japanese who's been living in the States for 36years ! I am a vegetarian. I've been dreaming of visiting your country since I was about 7 years old when discovered Franz Liszt !! I am planning to do so in the near future !!! I almost did in 2022 ,but because of Ukraine/ Russia war I didn't. I just subbed to your channel ! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️Hungary 🇭🇺 💕💞

Thank you very much,

Hi .... I was married to a hungarian girl for 15 yrs...she was from the Danube bend area, we had a summer vacation home there..Im a physician in the USA. divorced now.... Im looking into spending time in Budapest and maybe moving there in the next few years. I fell in love with the country and the people.

My wife and I have lived in the Caribbean for 10 years, I’m Canadian with dual citizenship so our next plan is moving to Hungary, we plan to buy a house and renovate it but we want to be in the country side, probably closer to Croatia, it’s hard to find videos about rural Hungary…

I was just wondering about prices in Budapest, I've been there last summer and I will go this summer too, Budapest is absolutely beautiful, I didn't know the exact numbers for rent and salaries, so this video helped :) eating out in Budapest was much cheaper than the same food here in Bratislava (I know we have higher average salary but this was the one thing that I was surprised about, food was top tier), groceries were almost the same (last summer), Lidl is the best :) I also live in the outline of the city because its more green here and cheaper, I pay 325 euros for my half of the rent (including internet and energy costs), my bf the same - for 1bedroom (maybe around 53 m2), now I think groceries prices got so high, that I feel like I'm spending too much even though I really think about what I buy and use coupons :D the most pricey supermarket in svk is Billa... this summer I will go to Hungarian Grand Prix (F1 race) and airbnb prices are like 5x higher during that time :D but I'm really looking forward for being in Budapest again :) btw your english is so good!

Thanks Petra for sharing correct information with honesty. I came just a month back and experience the same. You can try Indian food if you want more taste or spices.

I'm a student from Asia, I'm thinking to shift Budapest for my higher studies

thanks for all the info! i'm moving to budapest in august for work and it really helped me out :) since i'm going to be living alone and it's my first time in budapest, i'm looking to stay closer to downtown, like XIII, V and maybe even IX, VI, VII - do you really think it doesn't make a difference being on the outer districts? i like walking everywhere and being close to stuff... how much would you guess someone would spend in total p/m with rent, groceries, eating out and maybe going to a bar once a week?

Please you help to recommend websites or sources to study information for rentals? Thank you so much in advance

Petra, how's the transport from Zahony IBS Budapest to the rest of the whole City?

Hey, future expats, just one thing: I am not sure why Petra chose to pronounce our capital's name the American way, but please don't. It is not B-you-da-pest, more like Boo-da-pesh-t. Thank you!

Thank you. I got a good information from your video :) I really expect my BUDAPEST life !! Also I am worried about safe problem. Are there any dangerous area or utca in budapest ?

Hi Petra, interesting video, i just subscribed. I really love to come to Hungary but i don't know how to get a job there, please is there any source one can apply? Thanks.

Thank you so much for the video..i advice to say the amounts in euro 😊

Hi, I am joining ELTE this September as a PhD student. I generally cook regularly and don't eat outside, so what shall my grocery cost be on an average? Is eating veg more cheaper? Also could you comment on monthly prices for private student dorms or where do I find student dorms? just incase I am unable to get a dorm room at ELTE. Thanks in advance, your video was really helpful! -Abhinaba (India)
