5 Things You Should NEVER Do in Hungary ???????? Don't Do This in Budapest

In today's Hungary travel vlog, we discuss 5 Things You Should NEVER Do in Hungary and Don't Do This in Budapest.

There are a few other posts about Hungary: 25 Things to do in Budapest, Hungary Travel Guide, DO'S AND DON’T IN HUNGARY, Visit Budapest - Five Things You Will Love & Hate about Budapest, Hungary, and 3 Crazy Things About BUDAPEST. But none really touch on the things you should never do in Hungary. So I decided to make this travel vlog!

This isn't a complete list of what not to do in Hungary , just some things I observed from my recent trip to Budapest, Hungary. If you are Hungarian, a Hungarian expat, or living in Hungary and you have any other suggestions of things related to the topic of don't do this in Hungary , make sure you comment below. Make sure you also try Palinka! Palinka is a fruit brandy! If offered Palinka it is rude to turn it down.

Hungary tourism is a big driver of the Hungarian economy, so they do overlook somethings that tourist do, but try to respect the cultural differences when you travel Hungary.

Hopefully you can use this to supplement your Hungary travel guide advice and not be viewed as a rude tourist.

I love Hungary - don't let the rules or culture differences keep you from visiting. Just be mindful of those cultural differences and enjoy this awesome country.

5 Things You Should Never Do In Hungary

Let me start off by saying, if I had to recommend just one city in Europe to visit it would probably be Budapest. It’s got everything, old world charm but in a modern city, the architecture is amazing and exactly what you think of when you think European city, it’s very safe, the food is amazing and it’s soooo affordable compared to comparable cities.

1 - Never clink glasses or bottles together. There was a revolution in Hungary in 1848 that was defeated. Legend has it that Austrians celebrated in Vienna by toasting and clinking their glasses. Hungarians vowed not to cheers with glasses for 150 years. While that time frame ended in 1998 - many Hungarians still do not cheers! It was actually against the law until the mid 1990s!

2 - Never make the Hungry Hungary joke to a Hungarian. It’s one of those things that non Hungarians say to Hungarians and well….it’s just not funny. Don’t do that!!!!

3 - Never forget to tip. After spending 8 months in countries where tipping isn’t customary and sometimes considered offensive, I often forget to tip! In Budapest and Hungary in general tipping is customary. The acceptable tipping rate is around 15%. Side note: Don’t say thank you until you’ve paid your tab. Saying thank you when you pay your tab lets the server know you’re done and you don’t expect any change. So make sure you don’t do that if you want change back.

4 - Never refuse Palinka. Palinka is a fruit brandy that is a favorite with Hungarians. Hungarians like to say Palinka in small amounts is medicine, in large amounts a remedy! You don’t drink Palinka alone - it’s a drink Hungarians have with friends. It’s is a big no-no to turn down Palinka if it’s offered to you.

5 - Never say Buda-PEST. That’s the quickest way to get on a Hungarian’s bad side. It’s Buddah - PESHT. Side note: DONT CALL IT Bucharest! That’s in Romania! I made that mistake…didn’t turn out well for me! In my defense I had one to many Palinka!!!!

Also, never miss a chance to hang out at one of the Budapest ruin bars.

Capital Magic - Occult Budapest

This video was made for the 8th conference of the European Society for the Study of western Esotericism (ESSWE) held in Cork, Ireland, in July 2020. The video was contributed to the session, Capital Magic, which was to offer multimedial accounts of the esoteric currents of some Est-Central European capitals, such as Budapest, Prague, Sofia, Warsaw. Since I could not take part in the conference in person, I have compiled this video which unites informative visual materials as well as a scholarly overview. Special thanks to Dávid Teszár, scholar and tour guide, who helped me to present the material in the form of an enjoyable interview. And thanks to Café Astoria, a historic coffee house where we were allowed to record the conversation. The visual materials of the video are largely my own photographs except for those archival pictures that are available on the internet.

One minute of Budapest, Hungary

Budapest, the enchanting capital of Hungary, is a city that effortlessly captivates visitors with its blend of history, architecture, and a vibrant cultural scene. Straddling the Danube River, Budapest is often referred to as the Queen of the Danube, and rightfully so.
The city's skyline is a mesmerizing panorama of architectural wonders, with the Buda Castle perched on the hilly west bank and the iconic Hungarian Parliament Building gracing the Pest side. The Chain Bridge connects these two halves, providing not just a physical link but also a symbolic unity that defines Budapest.
Budapest's thermal baths are a testament to the city's spa culture, inviting visitors to relax in the healing waters just as the Romans did centuries ago. The Széchenyi Baths, with their yellow Neo-Baroque buildings, offer a unique and rejuvenating experience, blending tradition with modern comfort.
Exploring the historic districts of Buda and Pest reveals a tapestry of narrow cobblestone streets, medieval architecture, and vibrant markets. Fisherman's Bastion, with its fairy-tale towers and panoramic views, is a must-visit spot, while the Great Market Hall is a feast for the senses, showcasing Hungarian flavors, crafts, and culture.
Budapest comes alive at night, with the illuminated landmarks casting a magical glow over the city. The Danube Promenade, lined with restaurants and bars, offers a picturesque setting for a leisurely evening stroll. Ruin bars, housed in dilapidated buildings, add a hip and eclectic touch to the nightlife, making Budapest's evenings as lively as its days.
The city's welcoming atmosphere is complemented by the friendliness of its residents. Locals take pride in their rich cultural heritage, and the blend of traditional Hungarian hospitality and a modern, cosmopolitan vibe creates a truly unforgettable experience for every visitor.
In summary, Budapest is a city that seamlessly fuses the old and the new, offering a symphony of historical charm, architectural grandeur, and contemporary allure. Whether you're soaking in a thermal bath, admiring historic landmarks, or indulging in the lively nightlife, Budapest is a destination that leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of those fortunate enough to explore its streets.

Budapest, Hungary: House of Terror - Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide - Travel Bite

More info about travel to Budapest: The House of Terror, housed in the former headquarters of both the Nazis and, later, the communist secret police, displays the dark underside of Hungary's 20th century story. Welcoming travelers with a Soviet tank and a towering wall covered with portraits of the victims of this building, this museum offers a disturbing look at the grim terror of both the far right, and the far left, inflicted on the people of Budapest and makes clear that while the uniforms changed in 1945, the terror did not. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #budapest
