FAQs
Can I choose the language of the guided tours?
Most guided tours (city tour, Hungarian Parliament, Pálinka Museum) are offered in English, but some may be available in other languages. Check availability when booking.
How do I redeem or collect the pass?
You get digital tickets via email when you purchase.
Can I share the pass with someone else?
No. The Budapest Pass is personal and non-transferable. You’ll need to show your own ticket (and in some cases, ID) at each attraction.
