Further Tips to Avoid Traps

  1. Prices on the menu Always study the prices on the menu and make sure you know how much the dish costs before you order it. Get out off places that do not provide the prices on the menu (according to the law, prices must be clearly indicated).

  2. Buying drinks to girls. In some bars and clubs girls might come to you to lure you into buying drinks for them . Politely turn them down, otherwise the staff might surprise you with an exorbitant bill.

  3. Taxis- always travel with taxis of reliable companies and order it by phone to get a discount. See our list of reliable Budapest Taxis or ask the hotel staff to suggest you good taxi companies

  4. Do not let seemingly helpful taxi drivers or local women lure you to an establishment they recommend. They may receive a commission for bringing victims to the place!
