Budapest Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

By Matt Link

  • Expect cover charges in gay bars. There's usually a minimum entrance fee of about $7.
  • Call for a taxi pickup; don't flag one down on the street. The fare is much cheaper that way.
  • Hungarians are naturally gay-friendly. Even without a mega gay scene, you won't find the latent homophobia found in other parts of Eastern Europe. In fact, the Hungarian word for gay—meleg—also means "warm."
