Money
Even after joining the European Union, Hungary decided to continue to use its own currency, the Hungarian Forint, written as “Ft” or HUF.
The costs of a stay in Hungary have generally been considered low by European standards.
Currency can be exchanged in banks or in any of the country’s many currency exchange offices. Some of these exchange offices also work on holidays. Euro-cheques can be exchanged in banks. Most Hungarian stores now accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, and Diners Club credit cards.
