Scams to watch for in Hungary
- Pickpocketing on public transport and in crowdsThieves take wallets, passports, cash and cards from pockets or bags. Closed purses and backpacks can still be vulnerable. Pickpocketing is the most common crime against tourists in Budapest.
- Worthless taxi changeA driver gives you obsolete Romanian banknotes as change. They look similar to Hungarian money but are worthless and cannot be exchanged.
- Inflated taxi fares and driver toutsDrivers approach arriving travellers or wait in busy central areas, then charge much more than expected. Travellers may also face very high fares after dark. Booking your own taxi is usually cheaper than taking a waiting car or having a hotel book one.
