For us, renting a car for visits outside the city is important; many people would not be comfortable with doing this. George speaks Hungarian and we visit Hungary regularly. We love Budapest and look forward to our next visit. There is so much to see in the country -- in all directions from Budapest. It is easier to drive outside the city and worth it.
