Hungarian currency and the money you should take with you on your trip
Hungary has its own currency, the forint. However, since the country is part of the EU, it is best to take euros with you when traveling. You can exchange money for local forints at the most convenient exchange rates in the city.
You can also pay by credit card. In this case, there is no commission and the exchange is made at the bank's current rate plus a small percentage.
