I grew up in Budapest. I miss everything about it. It was so nice to see my hometown. Thank you for sharing your experience also the perfect pronunciation of Budapest. Hope one day I can return and see it all and hug my family. I have watched your visit in Szentendre where my Mum lives. Brought tears in my eyes.
Where do you live now ?
Hello, Erika hope u doing fine, I was searching for someone who live in Budapest and saw your msg, I would really like to come there n settle down, can u help me and advice me or anyone reading this msg in Hungary. Thank u guys.
Do you really miss it? Go back !!!
@@LEK-we2hh bit too late for me to go back. Hope to visit one day. Circumstances are changed not so easy to give up a new life for the old one. I knew people gone back and then regret it so learn from other people mistakes.

You should be appointed Ambassador of Hungary Tourism. Hungary is now added in my bucket list. 😄
😁 It's definitely worth a visit!
Thanks for the video..am currently learning Hungarian...hopefully one day i'll visit..
Oh wow, that’s an admirable undertaking!
Hey how is it going? Where are you from?
I visited here for just a weekend, so thank you for the great show!! I learned a lot!!
❤
Hey Tyler, I was born and raised in Budapest, Im so glad you had a good time in that gorgeous city! 👍
Thanks for watching Mark!
Great video. Looking forward to visit Budapest. 🙂
I've been there 4 times. I love it! I would not mind staying long term.
It makes a great European base
Hey Tyler, I love to travel too. I wouldn't mind traveling there one day. Thanks for your video.
Thanks for watching Rebecca! I highly recommend Budapest
It's cool!!!
I agree with all of what you said. Nagyon jó. 😎
Nice video. Thank you!🙂🙂🙂
We've only visited Budapest for a long weekend, so it's fun to see what it's like living there! Sad to see you leave Spain, but happy to hear you've landed in Budapest! Can't wait to see updates for Hungary!
Ya echo mucho de menos España, but thanks for the support! Looking forward to watching your videos from Spain
thank you for this video, very helpful. im a college student planning on studying away in budapest in a year and a half if i get accepted im so excited, seems like a great city!
Congratulations, enjoy it!
Fair and thorough presentation of Budapest. I say this as a resident of Budapest :)
Awesome! Local support is the best support
I like the way you noticed small things that why i join you permanently...from spain 🇪🇸 💫💢💥💯
Thanks for sticking with the channel!
I love this city so much!!
It's a good one!
Why ?
I love this one Tyler. A month in Budapest! I bet you are missing Spain already :)
Ah, don't get me started! Haha, I absolutely miss Spain, and plan to visit soon. Thanks for watching Jacques!
Love Budapest...and Valencia, Spain which I caught a glimpse of in this vid...😳 but a good overall presentation.
Haha, stock footage can be like that sometimes... I've actually never been to Valencia, but it's at the top of my "to visit" list. Thanks for watching!
I really love your videos Tyler!!! Wish to see you again^^
Thanks for watching!
COOL going there NEXT WEEK! - Actually Easter Weekend. I suspect everything will be closed :(
It seems like most things will be closed from Friday-Monday
@@Tyler_Teacher yeah, I figured . I DO have scheduled to attend a small piano recital on Saturday morning at the Liszt Museum So, at least I have that! Thank you for responding to me, TYLER! :)
Wow, today I came up with the idea to live one month in Budapest and now I found your video 😍
Hope you like it!
New sub. great vid. Are you still in Budapest? i was over there for 6 years || 6 months there, 6 months elsewhere ... loved every second.
Oh wow, where'd you spend the other six months? I live in Prague now
I agree. Just been there in Budapest from May 13th to June 2nd stayed in two properties in the 5th and 7th Dist. Main plusses not touristy, excellent public transport hardly any waiting , I used buses, trams and metro. Lot of cafes and lot of grocery stores. Loved the thermal baths. Only downside and shocker most of the people either does not know English nor willing to talk to English. I felt locals not so welcoming of visitors, more like a land locked place. Hopefully they become more open minded in the years to come, but does not take away the city’s charm and the historic sites. I would love to visit again for a much more longer stay. Cheers 😀
Thank you for the impressive video! new sub and bell 😍🥰😘
Thanks!!
Thanks for the great info! How did you go about finding that apartment and what length of lease did you get? I'm looking for a place there for 3 months soon
Thanks for watching Michael! I found my place on Airbnb. It came at a bit of a premium compared to what you can get for a year long lease, but still a fraction of what you'd pay in the states.
Thanks for this, man. I'm moving there end of Feb. Also teach English. From Ireland :)
Bloody Irish 🤭
I am interested in doing this when I retire. How do I look into getting a job teaching English?
great video, im looking to move there for a few months starting from this March, so this video is helpful as it talks bout a similar time of the year. now that it has been a year since your video uploaded how do you like it so far (if you're still there) ?
Thanks for reaching out. I left Budapest in May of last year, which was tough to do on the cusp of summer. Although there were always plenty of things to do (indie cinemas, pubs, museums, etc) when the weather improved, the city became a lot more vibrant. The size of every cafe doubled with outdoor seating, the parks were filled with fragrant flowers, lush trees, and hammocks. Late Spring and summer is a wonderful time to be in Budapest.
Great insight Tyler,
So interesting how the cost of living can
vary so much between countries.
Are you living there instead of España?
Good for you
Thanks for watching David! Yes, Budapest is my new base.
You will miss España I am sure.
First time here and sold moving here ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ best food best people I love
Awesome!!
Hey Tyler! Thanks for sharing the video! Wondering how did you manage to rent an apartment for less than 3 months? I’m planning to stay there for 1-2 months, and find many options other than Airbnb myself. Thanks for your help!
Hey Xiangyi, thanks for watching! As in most places, I had trouble finding a short term rental in Budapest, and ended up renting an Airbnb. The good thing is, Airbnbs in Budapest are still quite affordable compared to other cities.
Thank you for your video! Can you please recommend which websites to use to find an apartment in Budapest for two or three weeks in the summer?
thankyou
Sorry Tyler, no buddha side, and no pesht side...Correctly: Buda, and Pest side. We are glad you had a good time in Budapest! Come back another time!
Haha of course! TH-cam subtitles aren't always accurate. Thanks for watching
I lived there thirty years ago, love the city. 😊
Have you returned to visit since? If so, it'd be very interesting to hear your impression of how things have changed!
@@Tyler_Teacher I'm thinking about going back in a couple of months if I do I'll let you know how things are. Thanks 👍
What happened ?
@@LEK-we2hh I finished teaching and moved back to the US. 🙂
Maybe I missed it but why did you leave Spain to go to Budapest Hungary ? Are you teaching English there like you did in Spain ? It’s nice to see what life is like in Hungary and how it’s an affordable place to live in . The buildings look amazing .
Thanks for watching! I left Spain to reunite with my partner in Budapest. It was a very difficult decision, and Spain we always mean a lot to me.
Hey, you don’t by any chance have any pictures or videos of your apartment you’re renting do you? If it’s not too much hassle.. thanks and nice video. Informative 👍🏼
Here's the listing, thanks for watching! www.airbnb.com/rooms/33265247?adults=1&viralityEntryPoint=1&s=76&unique_share_id=C083F352-28BE-4188-A0F4-3F75F4EDB1A7&_branch_match_id=1247920305089172163&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXT0zKS9LLTdVPSTQsLw0pcM1xTQIAUE%2Bo3hsAAAA%3D&source_impression_id=p3_1698765613_Nvor1CEs9Wwwd8bE
Nice review on my city, but about the affordability: it's only affordable for certain forigners or if you have a highly payed profession. The average salary is around 800-900 $. Now that rent is not so affordable.
Hey, thanks for reaching out! Good point about the affordability of Budapest. As in most places, for people earning a local wage, most places tend to even out. However, for expats, digital nomads, or tourists, Budapest definitely offers some financial advantage to other European cities.
Thank to these expats for this. You can actually meet them on the streets and “thank” in person ;)
@@MAXlMUSnaughty 😂
Hey Tyler, any recent updates on Budapest?
Unfortunately, I haven’t been back since the end of may
Can you recommend a website to find a flat?
Great video! But please equalize the volume of your speaking with the volume of your intro song lol
Noted for future videos!
Wait- Why did you leave Spain?
Try Thai food!
I am planning on visiting Budapest in May 2024 . I really would appreciate if you could share with me about wheelchair accessibility such as public transportation, if there is a wheelchair accessible taxis, hotels. Please any tips would be helpful to make my visit easier
Bus 291 takes you to the chairlift from Nyugati railway station. The bus station is next to it. You have to go to the end station. You can buy a public transport pass at Terminal 2b of the airport for the duration of your stay. All Public Transport can be used. Except airport bus and chair lift. I always look for accommodation by using Google map and typing in Accommodation Budapest. Write the prices immediately. I don't recommend the chairlift area because it's far away, I'd rather recommend the city center. You have a question, I can answer it.
Which Japanese pancake place, can you give the name? Will visit it this weekend
Sorry I missed this comment! Here’s the address of the restaurant www.google.com/search?q=okonomiyaki+budapest&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#
Which website do you use to find apartments for 500 USD a month?
Hey Sandi, thanks for watching! I found that apartment on Airbnb.
i cant find any for $500 a month
I visited Budapest in 2019. Had fantastic time and the prices were surprisingly low!
However I did not know anything about the rent.
$550 for an apartment? WTH? There is nothing under 2K in LA. /not talking about Fashion district/
The weather was nice and warm, around 90-95F when we were there. The food is good, girls are pretty and we saw a lot of old ppl.
What are the names of the two streets that you mentioned with all the restaurants and bars. On my way to Budapest in 2 weeks.
Sounds like I didn’t answer in time, but you I’m sure you found some great areas! What did you think of the city?
@@Tyler_Teacher we had 5 days and 4 nights in Budapest last week. Really enjoyed the city, easy to get around once you figure out which end of the metro ticket to validate. We had pretty good weather so that helps.
Hi Tyler. My partner and I are considering moving to Budapest because of a job offer. We currently live in Oslo, Norway and I've never even visited Budapest. How do you feel about living in the city now that a few more months have gone by? Hope to hear from you!
Hey Jordan, thanks for watching! While I’ve never been to Oslo, I’m sure you’ll find Budapest to be far more affordable. From February through May I witnessed the city come to life more each day. By the time I left in late may, the parks were full as were the many squares, and I’d totally fallen for the city. Budapest seems to me to be one of the most underrated options for expats not just in Europe, but worldwide. It’s a vibrant capitol city with easy access to nature and the rest of Europe. Of course your life at will vary wildly based on what type of work opportunities you have, but no matter what you’re looking for I feel confident that you’ll be able to find it in Budapest!
Thanks for your reply, Tyler! This is helpful and we appreciate your time. Take care and enjoy your next adventure!
I lived in Budapest for 3 years. Amazing city. Friendly people in this city. The city center is expat bubble area , i lived there and never had a problem with anything or anyone
Don't do it. Y9u will regret it, there is no rule of low, you will be cheated for y9ur pay. Use google, amnesty international etc.
You can see caves in Budapest:

Thanks for the recommendations!

Hey Tyler, thanks for the help from this video! May I ask how you organised your apartment? I am looking to spend a month in Budapest in March as a 23 year old digital nomad from Australia!
Hey! I had trouble finding short term rentals, so I opted for an airbnb
Welcome to the North Korea of Europe....
Thanks! Someday I want to move to a different country every month for a year or two, and Hungary is one of the potential countries
Don't let someday slip away!
Considering its affordability of accommodation, Hungary is a great place to spend a month!
@@Tyler_Teacher I won't let it slip away 😃 I'm 19 and have my own business that I started when I was 17, allowing me to travel abroad for the first time next time year 🎉 one step at a time!!
Tyler, you mentioned that a longer-term rental is cheaper than the $500 you’re paying. May I ask how long your rental contract is?
Hey there Susan, thanks for reaching out! I made this video back in March of 2022, so I can't reliably speak to the current rental market in Budapest. I rented that Airbnb for 4 months.
$500 a month doesnt exist
How many $s you make there / m ??
Like from China
Thanks Richard!
Hi, how can I get contact with you? Thx
Email in "about"
As long as you have good a/c you will be sleeping fine in summer.
I've found "good a/c" tough to come by throughout Europe 😄
@@Tyler_Teacher The mini-splits should be common in S Europe, no ?
How do you manage to get monthly rent of US$500?
AirBnB shows 675 in Nov/Dec.
Well, this was back in January of '22, but that's what most places were going for when I was searching.
Good luck! If you're already in Budapest, keep an eye out for listings in cafes and on neighborhood billboards.
@@Tyler_Teacher , not there yet, but trying to budget a trip there in the coming months.
Maybe its inflation.
Maybe I will just skip Hungary.
Dude, intro and outro sound are 3x the rest, why?
Haha, I must have overlooked that. Hope you enjoyed the video!
there are not alot of mexican resturants in Budapest?
also why are you saying that Budapest is a thrift store?
Not many, but I do know of a few
I really love Budapest. But it was Vienna that was the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Ah yes, they were indeed co-capitals
The two capitals of the monarchy were Budapest and Vienna.
How is education for foreign children? Is it good to live with family members?
Difficult to say, as I lived there with my partner. Thanks for watching!
There are several international kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, mostly teaching in English. (Also some German, French, etc.)
Develop photos?
Yes?
@@Tyler_Teacher hey it’s great. It’s just rare to develop photos nowadays in the digital age.
I thought about living there, I have been 3 times.. Its actually hard after awhile the language barrier, you would think a lot of the young people know English well.. that wasn't my experience, it drop me crazy after awhile.. Even if they knew English it was limited.. and who is going to actually learn Hungarian?!? I am still keeping it as an option to figure out how I can stay there permanently as an American..
I am an American living in Budapest for just over a year now and my experience with people and speaking English has not been good. Even if they are young and can speak it, they prefer not to and will just turn to my partner who is Hungarian. It drives me crazy as well, there is not a lot of effort.
Hey John, thanks for reaching out. You bring up a very interesting and often overlooked point. Language barriers can be a massive challenge as an expat. I now live in Prague, where the language barrier makes it difficult to do simple everyday tasks. Through my years of travel, I've learned to prioritize places in which I'm at least interested and open to learning a bit of the language. For this reason, I find I often consider moving back to Spain.
I experience this very thing on a daily basis with my Czech partner here in Prague. On the one hand, I understand the desire for efficiency of communication, but on the other, having to rely on anyone, let alone a partner to do simple tasks can be rather dehumanizing.
Loved the video! Are LGBTQ+ people safe to live there ? Trans people ?
It’s a very open city, so I would hope so!
THANKS FOR VIDEO JITEN PATEL INDIA jzpatelut...
Thank you for watching!
where got $500 a month??
Airbnb + 2022 🙂
Pest is sadly a tourist ghetto now, very depressing place long term
Hopefully I can move here in the future and get away from all these bunkó canadians lol
Thanks for watching Alex! I'm not quite sure what that means, but I do certainly understand the desire to explore new cultures
You did not make it clear what currency you were talking about, eg USD or AUD (Australian dollar)? Also a fact mistake: Vienna, not Budapest, was the capital of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
USD is the standard mate 😉
They were co-capitals
Thanks for watching!
I am a hungarian and i live in budapest ant it's nice to see someone sead good things about it. But the time will come when you realise budapest isn't deat great. But before deat time came enjoy your time here.
It’s always great to hear a locals perspective! My stay in Budapest was always meant to be temporary, but I must say, it was difficult to leave after 4 months.
Haven't you noticed it is the North Korea of Europe? That the people live 8n poverty? Inflation rate of 50%? Or who paid you for the video?
there i $more in budape$ht than u$a canada brazil combined
It's interesting how folks do this: 1-month in a place and here are my reactions. You made this in February, so as you say, it is not possible way to assess the "normal" tourist flow that inundates the city beginning in April, or so. The cost of riding public transportation has already increased- it's now $1.32. After living (and loving) Budapest for 2-years, my experience is, yes, you can get by using only English, but it's case-by-case whether you run into people who can speak English. Lastly, you did not mention the nearly pervasive "dourness" that culturally exists in Hungary. It's easier to sense this objectively, once you travel to adjacent countries where the cultural tone is "happier," "more hopeful," and in a customer-service sense, simply "friendlier." I am referring to Slovakia, Slovenia and Croatia, where people are generally more welcoming.
*GOOD! I hate owning a car. it destroys your life. I just want a bicycle. I dont wanna be part of N.Aemerica trashy dating scene*
😁 Agreed that car culture can be unhealthy.

An intelligent teacher should notice much more about this fascist country...
Orban is a skilled fascist who knows how to make the right friends. We've got our own hands full here trying to hold on to what we have. If the trains run on time and you only need two kinds of bathrooms a lot of people will be happy to give up the "Thomas Jefferson sailing across the Potomac while skinning a grizzly bear" ideal for a few years.
