The current currency in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/en\/budapest\/what-to-see-in-budapest\"><strong>Budapest<\/strong><\/a> is therefore the Hungarian forint, whose <strong>exchange rate against the euro changes every day<\/strong>, although it is relatively stable. \u20ac1 is worth around 307 forints. The Hungarian forint is available in banknotes of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000 and 20,000. Coins are available in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 forints. The 200-forint coin is therefore worth a little less than \u20ac1, and the 500-forint banknote a little less than \u20ac2.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to exchange euros into forints<\/h3>\n<p>The easiest way to obtain forints at an acceptable rate is through an ATM. You will already find two at Budapest airport, <strong>but they are widely available throughout the city and accept cards from all networks \u2014 Visa, MasterCard, Plus, Maestro, Cirrus and so on.<\/strong> Before leaving, check with your bank that your ATM card works abroad and ask about withdrawal limits in Hungary. Currency can be exchanged at exchange offices, many travel agencies and many hotels. Exchange office rates are usually more convenient than bank rates, but always check.<br \/>\n<strong>Beware of the black market for currency exchange<\/strong>: if someone offers to exchange money for you in the street, remember that they may give you some out-of-circulation forints at an extortionate rate. In any case, it is illegal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CIB Bank is part of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group.<\/strong> At the branch in Szabads\u00e1g t\u00e9r 15 \u2014 M2 metro, Kossuth t\u00e9r stop \u2014 you will find staff who speak Italian.
