Hungarian Currency - Forint - Rick Steves Travel Forum
2019年4月2日 · A couple hundred Forints won't get you very far. That is the equivalent of 80 US cents, not enough even for a tram ticket. I'd recommend taking 25,000 HUF from an ATM, about $90 US. You should be able to spend that in a day and a half. Euros are widely accepted, at an inferior exchange rate (but not that bad) and your change will be in Forints.
Hungarian currency - Forints or Euros - Rick Steves Travel Forum
2010年11月4日 · When I booked a room in Budapest last year, the cost of the room was listed as euro. But I paid in forints. I think it makes the conversion user friendly because if they listed the room for 16,000 forints (60 euros), many may shy away …

Obtaining forints - Rick Steves Travel Forum
2017年10月16日 · Overall, my bank account was reduced by $879.52. Using the xe.com rates comes to $875.19. Cap One does not charge me any fees. I was careful to decline the dynamic currency conversion (DCC).

Forints and euros - Rick Steves Travel Forum
2013年9月23日 · If you're taking a smart phone or Ipad, there's a great app called "XE Currency" that would help you understand the relationships between various monies. You can set it to display as many currencies as you'd like (i.e. forints, euros, US dollars). Enter an amount in any of the currencies, and it displays the corresponding value in the others.
How much cash? - Rick Steves Travel Forum
2024年5月6日 · Some guides, personal service providers and AirBnb want to be paid in Euro or Dollars. Taxis will generally take Euros (but will take credit cards too). Some tourist shops have prices in Euros and Forints, but the Forint price will be cheaper. But if you show up with some Euros and you just want to get rid of them, sure, use them where they ...
Euro vs Forint in Budapest - Rick Steves Travel Forum
2019年9月3日 · The same has happened in Hungary. $1 use to buy 280 forints, and now 1 USD buys 290 of them. And I do know that this is the age of computers, but it is easier to find the value in print of the Euro versus the USD than for the forint. Expect to use forints in Hungary even if the hotel lists their prices in Euros.
Budapest Currency - Euros and Forints - Rick Steves Travel Forum
2011年3月3日 · I would definitely check again to see if you could possibly pay in forints or dollars. Try posting on the London Forum of tripadvisor to ask if there are any ATM's at the airport you are flying through that give euros. Some ATMs around the world give you a choice of dollars, euros and local currency.
Hungary, Euros or Forint? - Rick Steves Travel Forum
2017年6月2日 · Sometimes shops that service the River Cruise industry will have prices in both Euros and Forints, however you would at least be taken advantage of a little on the currency conversion.

ATM use in Budapest - Rick Steves Travel Forum
2016年10月5日 · Your ATM and Debit card will work just fine. The only advice would be to avoid non-bank affiliated ATM machines (Euronet ATM for instance), make larger rather than small withdraws; and to always be sure to chose the option to charge your bank in Hungarian Forints (designated Forint, or Ft or HUF) and not in dollars using the ATM's exchange rate if you want to maximize the rate and minimize fees.
