Traveler reviews
Just don't buy it.
The card is not available online and must be physically picked up in a cumbersome manner at one of 2 pickup locations. So, no free travel on public transport from the moment of purchase! The discounts are useless and you do not get the value of the card back. Those who like museums might be well advised. You pay extra for all admissions to sights. Poorly described where the included extras can be redeemed. And honestly, offering a boat trip on a run-down public transport boat as a free extra is just not okay.
Avoid the 72h Budapest Card plus at all costs!
Totally negative review of the Budapest Card, which I do not recommend to anyone. Not at all cost-effective, Matthias Church not included contrary to what is advertised, Vasarely Museum closed, impossible to take the cruise due to lack of water on the Danube, and to top it off, I was forced to pay for my trip to the airport even though it was supposedly included... A total rip-off!
Discounts, not free.
This card should be a great convenience, getting you into everything for free. Ok, having all public transportation accessible is great. On the other hand, too many attractions are not free, but only offer discounts. So I'm not sure that I got my money's worth out of it. Also, unlike in other cities like Prague, the card is not an app but has to be physically picked up. True, they can deliver it, but if like me your tardy and you want to have it Right Now, you have to go downtown to pick it up.
DO NOT BUY THIS CARD.
Do NOT buy this - it is very expensive and does not give you what you think for the money. Just buy a pass for the public transport from public transport not this one. Plus sometimes when they scan your card, they say you haven't paid. Even thought you bought a 72 hour card and you are only 1 day in. You will save money by avoiding this.
Budapest Card out of date & too expensive
I purchased a Budapest card for 4 days last week. I received a guide book dated 2025/2026 with the card. The prices I paid were either 20% more or the reduction was reduced from 20% to 10%. The hop-on-hop-off sightseeing bus listed in the book is no longer included. Save your money and pay as you go for attractions and services.
