About

OKNO Budapest is a project about
settling into life in Hungary.

We explore
how things work
in practice

Our resources draw on practical experience and official sources. We break down complex topics step by step: what to do, where to turn, which documents to prepare and where to verify the rules in law.

And sometimes we show you exactly
which button to click.

If you’ve ever found yourself asking these questions in Hungary:

— Why did no one tell me about this?

— Where does it actually say this is how it should be done?

Here you’ll find information about:

  • Documents: how to submit them properly, not just quickly
  • Healthcare: where to call, where to go and how to book an appointment
  • Housing: why the contract matters more than an agent’s promises
  • Transport: practical ways to get around the city
  • Taxes and finances: understand the system and avoid unexpected costs
  • Life without Hungarian: when gestures and guesswork come into play
  • Shopping: where to buy without overpaying
  • And much more…

The project is growing. We’re adding new resources to the sections and covering selected topics in YouTube videos.
