IMPORTANT FACTS ON CURRENCY AND HOTELS -------------------------------------------- The Hungarian national currency is the Hungarian Forint (HUF). In shops, restaurants, etc. in Hungary, prices are usually displayed and calculated in HUF.
The official exchange rates are about: 1 EUR = 240 HUF 1 USD = 180 HUF
There are several banks downtown Szeged which are open 9:00-15:00 weekdays, where you can exchange money at the official rate. It is also possible to exchange money at some of the downtown travel
agencies that may have slightly better rates than banks.
Some hotels accept cash of foreign currency, but they apply their own exchange rate that is much worse for the customer than the official rate. So instead of paying in foreign currency, it is better to pay by credit card or in Hungarian forints in cash. Also note, that all hotels charge a tourist tax of 1.2 Euros per night in addition to their published room prices.
