InactiveVery nice historic city which I wish I saw more of but the prices went from one extreme to the other. Drinks in the clubs was not cheap and the customer service in these clubs sucked. However we walked across the city to get to one party and ended up having dinner for less than a euro and the people there were great.
The city is well worth a visit but if you do not have your wits about you it can easily become rip off alley.

NicoleSimsMemberGreat City!
I loved the city, the buildings were beautiful and it was almost impossible to find any rubbish laying on the ground. Everything in the city centre was just spotless from what I saw!
I would definitely add it to your travel plans!

Alex did mention that they would be having the conference in Budapest again next year then possibly looking to another city.

InactiveI loved it and would highly recommend it – We will also be back in Sept/Oct for our event and oddly will be holding a HUGE event in Prague the first week in June called the iGaming SuperShow

So speaks the sheepish voice of experience.
Budapest is a great city and definitely a bit cheaper than Prague. In terms of language, anywhere around the city centre you could just about get by with English and flagrant hand gesturing. Prague is definitely more anglofied though and if you’re worried about language, it’s a safer bet. As TheBoyMitchell and other have pointed out, both are fraught with the potential of getting ripped off, particularly if you enjoy the odd visit to a titty bar!

arturs.vitolsMemberI have only been to Prague, which is nice, but from my experience very well known. There were a lot of tourists around all of the old centers etc and things weren’t as inexpensive as I would have imagined. They were on the crown when I went but that was about 2 years ago, so maybe they are on the Euro now. I think Budapest is still a bit more of a hidden gem since it is a bit further away from western Europe.
