Information about the pandemic now

The number of cases have been quite low in Hungary, we are considered to be a safer country.

However, these last days news said that the government is going to announce safety restrictions, probably in connection with travelling as well. We are going to keep you updated about these on our website and Facebook page, too. https://www.facebook.com/triptobudapest.hu

Right now the countries of the world are divided into 3 groups by Hungary: green, yellow and red. If you come from a green country, you are free to enter. If you come from a yellow country, you have to go to 2 weeks quarantine in Hungary OR show 2 negative tests. Entering Hungary from a red country is not permitted (there are only a few exceptions).
Please always look up the regulations before you plan your travels and be safe!
