Budapest Card
The Budapest Card is a tourist pass that offers travellers free public transport and discounts for most of the city’s top attractions.
Is the Budapest card worth it?
Compared to other tourist city cards like the Prague Card, which is always worth purchasing, the Budapest Card depends on what type of holiday you wish to organize in Hungary’s capital.
A three-day Budapest Card costs €37 and since it includes a travel card for Budapest’s public transport, you will save up by not having to purchase a 72h travel card that costs approximately €14 (4,150 Ft). Depending on what you plan to visit in Budapest throughout the three days, it can either be worthwhile or not.
If you are planning on visiting several museums, attractions and you wish to eat in the restaurants included in the tourist pass, the card is probably worth purchasing.

- Budapest History Museum: free entry
