Currency, exchange, credit cards
Though Hungary is a member of the European Union, only a few shops and restaurants accept Euros (EUR) for payment. Therefore, the exchange of your currency to Hungarian Forints or the use of ATM machines is strongly suggested. American Express, Visa, Diners, Eurocard/Mastercard are accepted in hotels, restaurants and city stores, but it is safer to look for the logo of your credit card or check with them before ordering a service.
Most banks are open from Monday to Friday between 08.00 and 16.00. On Saturdays and Sundays banks are closed. Most hotels do not accept traveller cheques for payment of their accounts or for cash and this would have to be undertaken at a bank.
