Hungarians tend to be fairly casual regarding style; comfort is commonly the number one factor, there is a slight fashion divide throughout the city between the older and younger generation, the former opting for more conservative wear whilst the younger favoring more casual western styles.

Summer in Budapest can get hot and humid due to its location on the river, pack a wardrobe that reflect the heat by including floral dresses, a pair of neutral capris and loose blouses and tank tops paired with flared skirts and lightweight shorts.

A visit to Budapest wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the city’s famous baths, don’t forget to pack a printed bikini or swimsuit and matching flip flops to enjoy this relaxing past time.

If your planning on exploring the city by night to check out the opera or ruin bar gardens around Kazinczy street (these are lively in the summer months and are the best place to browse how the locals hang out).

Make sure to pack something a little dressier such as a embellished cami and flared skirt and light cardigan in case the weather turns cool, pair with some chic leather sandals and a bright colored scarf.

The historic city is definitely best explored on foot, the cobbled streets are not heel friendly (and most of the sightseeing in Buda requires climbing), it’s beneficial to pack a pair of sturdy and comfortable pair of sandals, ballerina flats or brogues to avoid any nasty accidents.
