Hello, I’m Chris Davila, the Latina globetrotter behind Girl Takes Mundo. I’ve explored 75+ countries, have over 13 years of solo travel stories. I recently revisited Budapest, a city that ranked in my top 3 during my 1.5 year solo sabbatical in 2017.
During my return visit, I discovered the tremendous value that a Budapest Card could add to your visit. This card offers free public transportation, including rides to and from the airport. You’ll get complimentary access to
- Over 20 museums and attractions
- Free walking tours of both Buda and Pest
- Entry to the gorgeous and authentic thermal bath that is Lukacs Thermal Bath
- Cave exploration in the Buda Hills, and
- Significant discounts on various experiences.
Let’s make your Hungarian adventure unforgettable too! Whether returning or first-timing, check out my 48-hour Budapest Card itinerary to maximize your visit.
With my Budapest Card itinerary, see more, spend less, and make the most of the card.
