About Budapest Field Guide
Budapest Field Guide is an independent, editorially-run travel planning resource built for people preparing a trip to Budapest, Hungary. The site is organized around two things: in-depth written guides covering trip planning, neighborhoods, landmarks, transportation, food, thermal baths, culture, and day trips, and a free itinerary-planning tool that builds a custom day-by-day plan from a visitor's own trip length, pace, and interests.
Why This Site Exists
Most Budapest travel content falls into one of two categories: short listicle roundups that repeat the same five landmarks without much planning depth, or commercially-driven content designed primarily to sell a tour, a hotel booking, or an affiliate-linked activity. We wanted something in between — detailed enough to actually help with planning, and structured so that editorial judgment, not a commercial partnership, decides what gets recommended and how.
Who Writes and Maintains This Site
Content on Budapest Field Guide is produced and maintained by the site's editorial team, drawing on official tourism, transportation, and government sources, geographic and historical research, and ongoing review of source material for accuracy. Guides are credited to the Budapest Field Guide Editorial Team rather than to individual bylines, since articles are researched, drafted, and reviewed as a team process rather than written and published by a single person without review.
What Independence Means Here
Budapest Field Guide does not receive payment from any hotel, tour operator, restaurant, attraction, or transportation provider in exchange for coverage or placement, and no commercial partnership should be assumed from anything written on this site. If that changes in the future for any paid placement, it will be clearly disclosed on the relevant page. The site may eventually carry display advertising to support its operating costs; any such advertising will be clearly distinguishable from editorial content and will not influence what is written or recommended.
