We arrived by train from Vienna. It was Pouring rain and windy. We just wanted to get to our hotel. We approached a driver outside the station. He asked where we were staying. As soon as we 3rd him we were staying g at the Astoria he td us it cost $20 euros and the hotel was a 10 minute ride. He didn’t have his meter on….lesson learned.

Worst city in the world, i’ve visited for the dodgy taxi drivers.
such a shame that they bring such a bad reputation to a beautiful city.

In reply to David. Totally agree, also if you feel you are being ripped off...ask for a receipt. It has all his details on it that you can contest

The motto in Budapest is never EVER get into a cab without the meter running. “Fixed price” taxis will charge tourists several times the actual price.
