We've been in Budapest Hungary for one month and today we're gonna share with
you exactly how much it costs us to live there.
Hey guys I'm Ross and Bek is right
behind the camera. Today I'm gonna tell you exactly how much it costs to live in
Budapest for one whole month now if you like food and travel videos and that
sort of stuff hit subscribe hit the bell so you don't miss our future videos.
We were blown away with the value of accommodation in Budapest. The street
that we were on was in just like a movie set it was unbelievable great location
right in the middle of the pest side near trams and trains it was really easy
to get around fast internet speed as well. We loved it we actually booked it
through Airbnb and got a massive discount so look if you haven't used it
before check out the link below and you can get a discount off your first
booking so our total cost for accommodation was two hundred and
twenty-two thousand forint
I love this topic - food. Bek and I are obsessed with food everywhere we go
we're always searching for you know local authentic foods and we spend a bit
more than we probably have to here in search for the best dish that a country
has to offer and then we share that with you guys on all those foodie videos that
we do so be sure to check those out as we go. A typical day for us would be we
would have already got in some fruit and cereal for to sort of start the day and
then we start to venture out and buy things in the local cafes and eateries
right across Budapest so that was very easy and then at night time we'd always
pick a local restaurant somewhere to try out. Our total cost for the whole month
was a hundred and fifty six thousand forint which I don't think is too bad
transport is cheap and transport for us means you use your feet and catch some
trams especially in Budapest that's how you would see 90% of the city if you
need to go somewhere really specific you can catch a train if it's not really
working for you with the trams but yeah trams is where it's at so to get out a
tram or a train ticket for example you're talking about 350 forint
or if you want to buy in bulk you can get an even cheaper deal. We didn't have
to catch a taxi or an Uber for the whole month so our total cost was seven
thousand forint
Bills - the sexy topic everybody loves the bills! So we travel full-time and we
do work online so you know we have a bit of a budget that we live by. We have
to keep on on top of our bills one of the things we pay for is a VPN and that
changes our location it keeps our internet secure keeps it
private if you're on a public network but also it's a really cool way to get
around geography if you want to do some banking back in your home country or you
want to watch the sport or whatever it is that you want to do you can use a VPN
to get around it so if you haven't used one before check it out we also pay for
things like travel insurance and Netflix and a few other bits like SIM cards as
we go our total cost for the whole month was 32 thousand forint
fun aka beer and wine. It's a cheap place to get tipsy very very cheap you can go
into a supermarket and get beer from all across Europe for 250 forint to maybe
400 forint if you want the higher end stuff wines maybe that thousand to 1500
forint zone you get some some tidy Hungarian wine if you go out to the pubs
and the ruined bars you are gonna spend a little bit more but we're still
talking 600 forint to maybe a thousand foreign or just over cocktails
everything we found some spots with three dollar cocktails and you know some
delicious craft beer for way under three to four dollars Australian our total
cost for fun oh yes a little asterisk it was my
birthday in Budapest so there was some heavy alcohol consumed it was 45
thousand forint.
the drinking water is perfect
just drink it out the tap we will fine with that and we didn't grow a third arm
or anything like that
if you like coffee like us and you're obsessed with it and you need it to make
it through the day our suggestion in an air B&B is go to the supermarket and get
the supreme premium coffee that they have and it's great value we did that we
also worked out in cafes every day or every couple of days and would buy a
barista coffee you're more like the 600 foreign zone for a nice tasty barista
made Coffee our total cost was was only eight thousand forint
Every good budget needs an other category like, where do you put these
other things so going into the bath the local baths and the museums like the
terror museum's worth checking out getting a couple of household goods
getting a haircut that sort of stuff our total cost was
only seventeen thousand forint it's a really good value destination
Our total monthly cost was a four hundred and eighty seven thousand forint. Now we
think a Budapest is a really affordable place it can be very expensive if you go
high-end on things but there's lots of really good value options right across
the city it's actually one of our favorite cities that we've visited so if
you've been there or you're going there or you live there put some comments down
below and tell us if we spent too much or if we didn't spend enough if you
haven't already checked out our honest opinion video on Budapest is it worth
