HUNGARian CURRENCY

Hungary’s currency is the Hungarian Forint. This is either shortened to the code HUF or the symbol Ft. When buying things, locals are most likely to just say “Forint”, pronounced for‐int. Euros might be accepted at several places with the store’s exchange rate displayed on the counter, but change is likely to be given in Forints. (1 EUR is approx.=310 HUF)

However, major credit/debit cards (VISA, VISA Electron, Maestro, MasterCard) are widely accepted. Most ATMs accept foreign bankcards and ATMs are very easy to find, there is a number of them throughout the city center of Pécs.

There are many exchange offices in the city center of Pécs.
