In the summer it’s really important to stay hydrated during your Budapest trip. How can you do that without wasting lots of plastic? Let’s see how the locals survive the heatwave.
Taps will be your best friend in Budapest
Don’t leave your bottles at home! In Budapest you can refill them for free in plenty of places. Budapest Waterworks runs hundreds of public taps and drinking fountains around the city, with fantastic drinking water. You can find the closest one on kozkutak.hu or in the BudapestGO app. As I wrote in my post Good to know before you travel to Budapest, tap water is absolutely safe in Budapest and everywhere in Hungary.
Good to know
Decorative fountains and splash pools are not for drinking, so look for the real taps.
What if you can’t find a tap?
During my private guided tours I often see that it’s not so easy for my guests to find those taps. Somehow locals recognise them much more easily. But no need to worry, many coffee shops and restaurants will refill your bottle for free. The Vízlelőhely app shows you the closest ones. Stay hydrated without wasting lots of plastic!
Budapest’s stories are more fun together.
Come and walk with me, feel the heartbeat of Budapest and eat the city.
