Local Customs

Like any other country Hungary has its own customs too. It’s customary

to handshake. It’s customary to make the toast and return. It’s customary

for guests to offer gifts to the host of a meal. Smoking is prohibited in most

public areas. But travellers can smoke in long distance trains.

Casual dress is acceptable in most places and formal for special occasions.

Tipping up to 10 to 15% is customary for all services including restaurants,

bars, clubs, taxis etc.
