I'll be working in Budapest throughout July and throughout September, but I don't know anyone there, and I'll be the only person in the office where I work. Any advice?
Also, if there are any Italians here, I'm Italian too
Everyone i know who follows f1 has mixed feelings about hungary. some say its a boring track to watch live, others swear by the budapest experience making up for it. Thinking of going this summer but cant decide if its worth the money. Also where should I buy tickets since I missed the official sale.
Hi everyone, I’ve been building a Hungarian language-learning app called NyelvKert, and I’m releasing the first public version. This is the product of the many years I have spend learning languages and never being satisfied with the apps and programs out there.
The idea behind NyelvKert is to create a structured, desktop-based Hungarian course that goes beyond simple flashcards or surface level content. It is designed as a full learning path from beginner material into more advanced grammar and usage, with lessons organized by unit and CEFR levels.
The app includes:
My goal is to make something useful for people who are serious about learning Hungarian but want more structure than scattered resources, YouTube videos, or random flashcard decks.
This is very much a v1 project. I’ve built out the course content and the app is working well enough that I’m releasing it to the public, but I’d love feedback from people who care about Hungarian learning, language pedagogy, app testing, or just want to try it and tell me what feels confusing or useful.
I’d especially be interested in hearing from:
If anyone would like to help test it, review content, give feedback, or contribute ideas, feel free to message me. I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hi, I should move to Budapest in a couple of months and would like to know all I need to do after I arrive, mainly bureaucracy wise but any advice like which phone number provider to choose etc. is really appreciated!
My company doesn't offer any relocation support so I need to sort everything by myself and would like to be well prepared for this move!
I'm moving to work for an international company, am an EU citizen and am moving alone, I don't speak Hungarian
Hi Hungary,
I'm coming here as a last resort.
On the night of June 24–25, I met a girl at Instant-Fogas in Budapest. I made the mistake of not asking for her contact information before she left, and I've been regretting it ever since. I'm hoping this subreddit might be able to help me find her.
What I know:
What I'm guessing:
She had to go to work about four hours after leaving the club, so I assume she probably lives or works somewhere not too far from District VII.
She told me her name, but I heard something like "Kitna." I'm almost certain that's wrong. I've spent way too much time trying to figure it out (Kinga, Kinna, Kitna, Kitana...), but at this point I've accepted that I probably have no idea what her name actually is.
I'm also 99% sure she doesn't go out often and doesn't drink alcohol.
About me (in case she or someone who knows her sees this):
I was wearing a brown matching two-piece outfit. I have a large bird tattoo on my forearm, which is what made her grab my arm in the first place. I also have a knight chess piece tattoo on the same forearm.
I'd be completely okay if I found her and she wasn't interested. What I can't stop thinking about is never knowing what could have happened after experiencing the strongest connection I've ever felt with someone.
Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this.
Hi everyone,
I am planning to move to Budapest soon and found a nice apartment but one of it is located on the first floor and other one is second and overlooks a side street
Since I'm new to the city, I wanted to ask locals about the safety of lower-floor apartments in this specific area. I know Corvin is highly recommended and modern, but are residential break-ins a concern for lower-floor flats facing the side streets?
Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Whole hectares of forest succumbed to drought and every year it gets worse. Healthy forests get cut and newly planted ones fail to thrive. It’s turning into a desert and there is nothing I can do. It fucking hurts!

Budapest is easily one of my favourite cities in the world! Beautiful architecture, amazing nightlife and above all: Great public transport and a walkable inner city.
I currently live in Munich, where I often like to jog along the river Isar. This time I decided to try jogging along the Danube river in Budapest. What a mess!
Trying to enjoy a prolonged journey along the Danube is impossible, due to all the cars! After 10km my ears were ringing from the traffic, my spit turned to tar from the pollution, and I had to return several times because the sidewalk just 'ended'. The worst part was the heat the concrete had absorbed by 8:30am.
Who thinks that having up to FOUR LANES + CAR PARKS on both sides of the river is a good idea?? At least one side could be turned into a beautiful park for exercise, or a pier to enjoy the Országház. There are already public transport lines running along either side, so driving by car is really not necessary. It must cost the city so much to maintain all these roads on the river banks.
I am writing this rant from Margaret Island, which provides me with live saving shade and tranquility after this exhausting run. Obviously Budapest appreciates how nice a car free zone along the river can be. I was considering moving to Budapest soon, but this experience left a bad taste (literally).
Are there any plans to remove these roads in the future, or is the Danube doomed to be car infested forever?
Yesterday, at around 15:15, my family and I stopped at Shop Csertus, the vignette shop immediately after crossing from Serbia into Hungary at the Horgoš–Röszke border crossing.
There were two dogs at the shop. One appeared to be in acceptable condition, but the other, a poodle, looked like it had been starving for a very long time. It was shockingly thin, with its ribs, spine, and hip bones clearly visible. It looked exhausted, weak, and desperate for food. Seeing a dog in that condition, lying there in almost 40°C heat, was absolutely heartbreaking.
We simply could not ignore it, so we tried to give the dog food and water. The man working at the vignette shop immediately came over, forcefully took the food away from the dog, kicked it, and shouted at us for trying to help. The dog was not aggressive—it was simply trying to eat.
I immediately called the Hungarian emergency services (112) to report what I had witnessed. Because I had difficulty explaining the exact location over the phone, I also submitted a written report to the Hungarian authorities together with screenshots showing the precise location where this happened.
I live in Vienna, so unfortunately I cannot go back myself to check on the dog. That is why I am asking for help.
If anyone lives near Röszke or Szeged, knows local animal welfare organizations, journalists, or authorities who can check on this dog, please contact them or share this post. I have attached screenshots of the exact location.
This happened at one of Hungary’s busiest international border crossings, where thousands of tourists enter the country every day. It is heartbreaking that one of the first things visitors may witness is a severely emaciated dog apparently living in these conditions and being kicked when people try to feed it
My only hope is that someone can reach this dog and make sure it receives the care, food, water, and veterinary attention it so clearly appears to need. Please help this reach someone who can act before it is too late.
update: dog is completely fine, checked inside of his mouth and no blood, he‘s done this before
location: Budapest
I’m dogsitting for family and one of the dogs just caught a hedgehog. There was a decent amount of blood in the dog’s fur around the mouth, but I think it’s from the hedgehog mostly (the dog seems completely fine if not very happy with himself). Hedgehog hasn’t unfurled from his little ball yet and appears to have at least one puncture wound. It is breathing. I’m not really sure what to do? I tried calling just about every after-hour clinic number I could find- only one picked up and they didn’t speak English.
I’m just not sure what to do or who to call? My family members who live in other parts of the city seem to want me to just put the hedgehog back in the garden, but that feels wrong to me since it’s injured.
The Budapest zoo supposedly has a rehabilitation center for hedgehogs?
TLDR: Asking for both the English and Hungarian translation for a greeting you would give someone you're friendly with. Wanting English and Hungarian so I can verify google translate has it correct as I work through the pronunciation.
More context: There is a woman from Hungry who is very nice to my family. She works at a restaurant we often visit. She's so nice to us that she makes treats each Christmas from scratch for her family and she always makes this giant Christmas plate worth of treats to share with us. She brings them to the restaurant when we come visit. She's done it 3 years in a row now. Last year I looked up some of the treats and thanked her with the Hungarian translation. She seemed extremely appreciative of the effort and I thought it may be nice to take the effort to see if I could figure out a culturally accurate greeting. I wasn't happy with what google gave me and thought I'd come here to verify / get advice. I appreciate it. -Thanks
