Creator's Key Takeaways

Budapest is just so picturesque. This is just a random photo I took of the colorful buildings across the river.

Our guide said that it's really better to use Bolt or Uber because you can do it with the app. Uh sometimes the regular taxi drivers may tend to be dishonest.

I'm going to end the video with a gallery of our beautiful scenic sailing out of Budapest at night. You don't want to miss any of this.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Bolt or Uber apps for taxis to avoid dishonest drivers
Validate tram tickets immediately upon boarding to avoid fines
Seniors 65 or older can ride the Budapest tram for free with a government-issued photo ID
Wear comfortable shoes as you will walk a significant number of steps
