Get the most out of your Hungarian forint on holiday

Off to Hungary soon? You’ll want to stock up on the right currency before you go. The main currency in Hungary is the forint, and euros are also accepted in certain locations.

The exchange rate between sterling and the forint goes up and down, as with most currencies, but as a rough guide, the average was around Ft 413 to the pound in early 2023.

Where to get forints

You can pick up your travel money from TUI at your nearest TUI Store, or buy it from us online if you prefer. It’s easy to withdraw extra money if you need it from cashpoints in all major Hungarian locations.

A guide to using forints in Hungary

As a guide, you can budget on about Ft 30000 per day for your trip to Hungary, depending on your planned activities of course. The average meal will cost you about Ft 5000 and public transport is relatively affordable. Try our handy budget calculator for a more detailed breakdown.

You’ll find traditional Hungarian goulash all over the country and it’s highly recommended, though there are plenty of vegetarian options available too. A 10% tip’s perfectly acceptable in Hungary, but 15% for exceptional service doesn’t hurt.
