For a heartier choice, try ""Gulyás,"" a rich and flavorful beef soup. Don't miss ""Pörkölt,"" a tender stew, and ""Halászlé,"" a spicy fisherman's soup, both reflecting Hungary's love for paprika.

Savor ""Töltött Káposzta,"" cabbage rolls filled with meat and rice, showcasing Hungary's comfort food. For a sweet treat, indulge in ""Kürtőskalács,"" a chimney cake with a crispy exterior and soft inside, often coated with sugar and nuts.

Pair your meals with local wines, especially from the Tokaj region, known for its exquisite white wines. Try ""Pálinka,"" a traditional fruit brandy, for a true Hungarian experience.

Wrap up with ""Somlói Galuska,"" a sponge cake layered with cream and chocolate sauce, a delightful end to your culinary journey.

At each audio guide spot, we'll provide recommendations for the nearest acclaimed restaurants based on Google's user reviews, ensuring you enjoy the best local dining experiences.

Transportation and getting around the city

Landing at Budapest's airport, you've got a few options to reach the city center. The most convenient is the 100E bus, which takes you directly to the heart of Budapest. Tickets are available at the airport or from the driver, just make sure to have some local currency.

Once you're in the city, public transport is your best friend. Budapest has an extensive network of trams, buses, and a metro system that's both efficient and easy to navigate. Grab a Budapest Card for unlimited public transport use and some extra perks like free or discounted entry to attractions.

Taxis are widely available, but I recommend using Bolt or Főtaxi apps to book them. This way, you avoid any language barrier issues and get a fair, metered fare.

Budapest is wonderfully walkable, especially areas like the Castle District, the Danube Promenade, and the historic Jewish Quarter. Here, walking not only allows you to soak in the sights but also stumble upon charming cafes and shops.

For a comprehensive city tour, hop on a tour bus. You can get tickets online or at major tourist spots. These buses offer great flexibility with hop-on, hop-off services, allowing you to explore at your own pace.

Enjoy your time in Budapest, and make the most of these transport options to experience the city fully!
