Budapest Fast Facts:

  • Gayborhood Bars tend to be in Pest’s 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th districts. If you’d like a cultural night on the town, visit the neo-Renaissance, gilt-drenched Hungarian State Opera House.
  • 1 US dollar = approx 240 Hungarian Forints. Check exchange rates.
  • Budapest is a great place to explore on bike. Make friends via gay cycle groups, which you will find listed in local gay lit. Bicycle rentals available in Pest.
  • Although average Budapesters have more to worry about than who's kissing who, despite a more visible gay presence, in reality the environs are still far from a comfy stroll through the Castro. So watch your back, especially while out cruising.
  • Pick up a copy of At Last, a Budapest gay ads and scene magazine.
