Budapest apps

The Hungarian city of Budapest is a short two-hour flight from the Netherlands. The capital of Hungary is described as the nicest city in Europe and has many sights. Internationally, the city is called Budapest and is visited by millions of people every year. The river Danube separates Buda from Pest but is of course connected by bridges. Planning a city trip to Budapest? Then DroidApp helps you with a number of apps that should not be missing on your smartphone.

Budapesti Menetrend

Budapest is an excellent way to discover Budapest by public transport, as I know from personal experience. The costs are very low and the network of bus, metro, tram and train is excellent. With the Budapesti Menetrend app you have a handy public transport app for transport in Budapest. You can plan your journey from A to B and save travel advice offline. What struck me is that the application can indicate a very accurate real-time departure time of, for example, the bus. This is displayed in seconds. Ideal. You can also view the map of the public transport network via the app. An indispensable app!

Google Translate

You won’t get anywhere with the English language. The Hungarian language predominates, so Google Translate is worth installing. At home you can already download the Hungarian language pack offline, so that you no longer have to do it abroad. With the Google Translate app you take a photo of text, select this text and you can immediately translate it. Of course there is also speech translation and you can enter text yourself. Ideal for example in the supermarket!

xCurrency

Another useful app is the xCurrency app. This application gives you the current exchange rate of, among others, the Hungarian Forint. You can also choose many other currencies and convert them to euros. The advantage of the free app is that it provides real-time exchange rates and does not contain any ads. The xCurrency app is very user-friendly.

Google Maps

Google Maps is of course indispensable on your phone during a city trip. You immediately see where you are and where the sights are located in the city. You can plan your route; on foot, by public transport or by car. In addition, you can also find opening times of the different places and of course read the reviews. Tip to do at home in advance; download the offline map of Budapest in advance. That saves you data and time. Get the most out of Google Maps, read our overview with Google Maps tips.

Bolt (Taxify)

Need a taxi in Budapest? There are several taxi companies, so you can always hail one along the road. If you want to be sure of a taxi, you can order a taxi, for example, via the Bolt app, previously known as the Taxify app. With the push of a button you can book a taxi and you can immediately see which car and which driver will pick you up. You will also immediately see the price of your ride.

Budapest Travel Guide

The Budapest City Guide app gives you access to various information about the city in Hungary. Think of the weather, but also restaurants, sights, activities and some other information. You will also find some information and details about useful things like the police station, a map of the metro and parking lots.

TripAdvisor

An alternative to the Budapest Travel Guide is TripAdvisor; an app that is not only useful for your visit to Budapest, by the way. You will find information about everything; sights, restaurants, flights and of course activities. The platform is known for its many reviews, so there will be plenty to inspire you for your visit to Budapest. You can also leave photos and reviews yourself.
