- What are the best Souvenirs you should buy when you visit Budapest in Hungary? The city is full of Souvenir shops, but it's easy to get lost in the clutter. In this video we'll give you a Local's recommendation on what items and gifts you should consider taking home with you, so that a piece of the great memories you had here in Budapest and Hungary remain!
When you travel you take many pictures and later on as you have a look at those the memories of your great trip can resurface. Most people take fridge magnets to showcase all the places they've been to. But there are many cool and more local ways to bring those experiences back, and here we are going through some of the items that should fit in your baggage .
But the question remains, where to buy most of these stuff? Many of the items we show you in this video can be easily acquired in convenience stores, however there are two shops which can help greatly in avoiding the cheap chinese generic rip-offs:

I remember watching the checker eared rabbit as a child - I had no idea it was Hungarian! Now I know the souvenir I have to find the next time I am there!
Hi there, I'm going to Hungary next month and I've binged watched your content! Just letting you know that your channel has been an absolute Godsend! I also watched your Warsaw video (as I'm going to Poland after). Please keep going as the quality of the content is amazing, it's super entertaining and your enthusiasm for Hungary is amazing to see. Better even than my Lonely Planet guide 😊 PS: I hope you can also make content on other countries in Eastern and Central Europe
Thanks for the kind words, glad to hear that my videos are helpful. Hope you have a great stay in Budapest ☺️
And of course, if you're in Hungary during Advent or around Christmas, the ultimate delight: szaloncukor!!! 10 thousand calories' worth of bliss.
rubik IS.. still alive 😆 great video
Lol, I didn't even realise I basically "burried" the man 😅... May he remain active and healthy for long! 😃
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures i hope your little blunder gives the man some extra years 😀
Another great video 👍 thanks for sharing the information.
Going to get some of these next week! Thanks for the recommendation. :)
Thank you very much, love your videos ❤
Thanks for posting. Really enjoy your content, and it’s been super helpful in planning my family holiday!
Great job. I wish we would have discovered you on our first trip to Budapest. But we're coming back in June!
I'm visiting Hungary in a few weeks and your videos have been the most informative and entertaining, so thanks for that! Also, I'll be waiting for that video on convenience store snacks...
Always great to watch your recommendations. Christian loves Pilota. I was surprised that you didn’t mention Debrecenyi sausages. We really want to buy the checkered bunny plush toy. We did a video about the Kolodko mini statue near the Buda castle. Stay Fluffy (Eric)
I appreciate your videos. I'll be in Budapest this summer. Looking forward to it. Thank you.
Thank you! I hope you'll have an excellent time here when you visit! :)
I'm visiting Budapest in 19 days and I'm soooooo excited!!!!!!!!!
Your videos are the best and really helped me organize my trip!!! Oh, I can't wait!!!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much! Glad these videos can help, and I hope you'll have a good time during your visit 😊
Great video and something for the whole family. My wife and myself are really looking forward to visiting your beautiful country in December.
Thanks again 😉
Thanks, hope you'll have a great time when you visit 😊
I just returned from my first visit to Budapest. I watched all of your videos and found them very helpful when planning our time there. Thank you!. Now I will plan to return to see more of this amazing city and to buy some of your recommended souvenirs.
Glad my videos are usefull, hope you had a great stay :)
You guys are the best couple!!
I greatly appreciate your channel preparing us for our trip!!
Thank you! We hope you'll have an excellent time here in Budapest! :)
thank you for this ❣
Oh my goodness! My grandparents were from Leia (spelling?) and their cookie jar was always filled with wafer cookies and Keebler cookies that had chocolate bottoms with drizzles of chocolate on top. See the Balaton and Pilota sweets explain why. Thank you for that! When I am in Budapest next year, I will definitely pick up some for a taste test and bring some back for the family.
Thanks again, I always find your video’s interesting and entertaining 👍 Even being half Hungarian though, is not enough for me to like Unicum. Instead I’ll go for a pálinka as an apperative or digestive. Or a good Tokaj Aszú … I also can’t decide whether I like Gyulai or Csabai more, so most of the time I’ll have both. I’m lucky to have a Hungarian shop over here where they sell all the food and drinks 😀
Thanks you so much
Plain Unicum is great I think.
Unicum is GREAT and indeed unique.
Thank you so much. I will pick up some of these when I go visit here in a few months. The only think I wish is that prices were added for the items but I appreciate the videos very much. thanks!
It is allways difficult to mention prizes, as it can vary some between places. Almost anything you see here can be bought in supermarkets, so just make sure to avoid touristy areas :) Hope you will have a great time in Budapest
Good stuff.
We have in Poland being sold one kind of hungarian smoked sausage (don't remember exactly the brand) in most popular market chain, and in comparing to polish analogues, it's hella spicy and has distinct taste of paprika :D I love it though, especially with a beer. Watching your videos before trip to Budapest in a month
Thanks! I hope you'll have a great time here :) It's also nice to hear that some tasty Hungarian items make it abroad :)
10:55 I as kid also done that too.
When I was greedy I had would have two rings on one finger and also I had more then one finger to hold rings. :D
Pilota is very good. But come on! that lady violated our big boss! It's a good way to pick out the biscuits. I tried it as well😂😂😂! It works so well!!!
Thanks for your video! Please can you tell me what is the medium and high quality product names to look for when buying chocolate wit/without marzipan and biscuits? It is so funny towards the end of the video when you start to go a bit flushed! You must have enjoyed making this content! 😝 I arrive in Budapest next week and can’t wait to use all your tips!
If only you can do these for more countries! Could you go to Naples this month?! 😂
Hey there! When it comes to chocolate, the higher quality brands are Stühmer and Szamos, and there is Szerencsi also which is the simplest from the 3. However, few of my favorites which are more commerce are Balaton Szelet, Sport Szelet and Kapuciner. I guess we'll need to make a video about all the different local chocolate bars :D And of course lets not forget about Turó Rudi which is a chocolate covered Curd Dessert :)
Thank you so much
Really informative videos, been using all of them to plan our trip. Can I ask, is there anywher/shop in particular that we can buy the liver and blood Sausages to take home?
Hey there! I would say you should search for a Butcher shop close to you, they usually have those. I sometimes also see a combo package in Aldi or Lidl, but the best is always from a Butchers 😊
In 2013 , US customs took / confiscated all my sausages and salamis, even though they were air vacuumed or sealed , packed as they sell at supermarkets, and had the inspection stamps. I was so upset, I cried! They most likely took them home and ate them!
Sad to hear that, unfortunately I know that sometimes some meat and produce could be banned from being brought into certain countries due to outbreaks or just to protect the interest of the local producers... I hope that by now that changed.
Hello! We will come to Budapest from Bucharest to celebrate my birthday in July. We are beer caps collectors and I was wondering if you have any recommendation for very nice beers? we prefer lager but we are open.
Also, your content is great, entertaining and informative in the same time! 😊
Thank you!
Thank you so much! Most of the Beers are available in canned forms these days but you can still find some bottled ones of the major commercial brands like Dreher, Soproni, or Arany Ászok, though I would only stick to Dreher and Soproni. While they are not remarkable, they are nice to have on a hot summer day, so if you are looking for some bottles for your cap collection, you can try those for example :)
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures Thank you very much! 🍺
Hey man. Congrats on your videos they are top notch! Can you please assist me with something? I cannot find the checkered eared bunny anywhere. Can you advice on a shop that sells it? Thank you in advance
Hey there! You can check Regio Játékbolt, they are a chain toystore I see in their online catalog they have different variaties, but there is also the retro museum Budapest near the Basilica, they had ones in their giftshop which you can enter without entry into the Museum itself. We got ours there too 😊 I hope you can find one in the end!
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures Thank you so much for your swift response to this!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟You are the best Hungarian dude ever
Hey I was watching your videos and they are very nice I wanted to ask do you thing Budapest is considered to be a cheap shopping countries and is there a sale season
I believe that cheap or expensive will depend on your countries' point of view. Western Europeans will find it cheaper (not by a lot, some things are priced the same or higher), Eastern Europeans will find it expensive. For us Hungarians, the inflation in past few years made living here on the expensive side.
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures okay then as an advice if i am coming to Eastern Europe in july what are the best countires for shopping .note that i am going to Budapest and planing to visit another country
@@ziadelamir9108 I'm sorry but that really depends on what you wish to purchase as that can be different from country to country with different taxes etc... overall, countries like Romania, Bulgaria, Albania and others in the Balkans will be generally cheaper on the European scale.
What about folk art embroidery and the famous bicska?
Regarding folk art emrboidery I believe we cover that with items that have Matyó or Kalocsai designs :) The best items are usually embroidered and not printed :) As for Bicska, hehe, yeah, but the swiss knifes are more famous than our Bicska to be honest and not many shops sell those :)
Can you please tell me how much should I consider for meals per day in Budapest - breakfast , lunch and dinner
Hey there! We have a video about how expensive Budapest is, and while the prices public transport are changing, other items we cover remain around the same. Regarding food it's hard to say simply because a simple breakfast like a sausage mustard and bread can be much cheaper vs some of the popular Brunch places, and same applies for lunch and dinner, it depends on the type of restaurant you visit. But generally a main dish will cost somewhere between 4000-6000 HUF but can go waaay beyond that in some places.
Csabai kolbasz? Slovak lidl makes its own salami, that tastes like csabai, but calls it "cabaj-csapor" after the village by Nitra (Nyitra). Nowhere else we havent got "cabaj capor" salami, only in lidl😂
Rutinos pilóta keksz evő alap, hogy kisujjal veszi ki :)
XD well done😅
Nothing wrong with the small Unicum.
Csak a Gyulai! Sajnos itt Ausztraliaba nincs :-)
Are there salami or sausages you know of that don't have pork in them? Thanks!
Hey there! Most of the traditional sausages are pork based, but some Butchers sell Beef sausages and salamies (and sometimes available in stores like Lidl, Tesco etc). For example Grey Cattle which is a local breed can be found as a base for some salamies and sausages, and it's nice (Szürke Marha = grey cattle) :)
@@StuffedCabbageAdventures thanks for the quick reply and the translation! Sounds yum, can't wait to try it. I always want to try ALL the local food, but I don't eat pork. 😥 This really helps. And great video! Thank you.
And your wife is soooo lovely 😍😍😍
👍👍💛💛👌👌
Where you recommend to buy some souvenir?
Hey there! In the description there are links to Memories of Hungary souvenir store and Folkart Kézművesház for folk art and craft :) food and beverage items can be found in most convenience stores like CBA, Spar, Tesco 😊
Lies, I love regular Unicum
You are one of the rare people with the aquired taste for Unicum :D
Túró rudi !!!!
Yes, also one of my favourites, but that one is unfortunately not the easiest to take home as it has to be in the fridge 🙂 so long travels it won't survive
USA no meat can be brought in.
"avoiding the cheap chinese generic rip-offs" very disrespectful comment against Chinese products. Pure arrogance and ignorance...racial stereotype.....
