When the Budapest Card is worth it
The Budapest Card makes financial sense if you take many transit rides (a single ticket costs about 450 HUF in this calculator) and use several of the free programmes. Use the calculator above with the visits you really plan: it only counts what is free on the card, at full price when you pay à la carte.
The card is less useful if you plan to cycle or walk, stay close to a single neighbourhood, or visit few paid sights. In that case a public transport pass alone covers your needs more cheaply.
