What To Pack For A Trip To Budapest, Hungary - Winter Edition
Yes, Hungary is quite south of Europe. But it can get really cold in Winter. You don't want to ruin your trip needing to look for clothes when you are already there. Be prepared and get everything you need before you go. Here is a list of the most important things you need for a trip to Budapest in Winter.
These travel guides are my favourite. I don't want to travel to a new destination without a Lonely Planet travel guide! It gives you ideas on where to go, what to do, where to eat and stay! If you only want to get one thing from this list! This is a must!
The Go Pro 7 is the newest GoPro. It is also the best of all of the GoPros. The photos automatically upload to the QuikStory app. You can film and take photos as deep as 30 meters underwater and this one you can go down 10 meters without housing! The Go Pro 67has an updated UI, the 2-inch display makes it easy to frame shots, change settings and playback footage.
This is a must-have if you are planning to go to the thermal baths in Budapest and around. Don't rely on the towels you get there, they are not very good and you will be cold when you get to the big pool outside!
Walking around in minus degrees in Budapest can be very cold. You would need a coat that also cover your bottom and that you can sit on. This super stylish coat can be bought in black, beige and green.
If you are like me that get so cold, I recommend this one. This vest is the best of the best in heating clothes as it is insulated with heating and you can easily control it.
This base layer sweater is a must-have when you hike in cold weather. It is designed with 100% merino wool by a Norwegian skier and it will keep you warm but not sweaty. Ideal for the cold weather in Hungary, and if you are going around in the city.
Even though there is no ocean around Budapest, you have the Danube and it gets chilly and a bit windy. You need a big and a warm scarf. This one is the best and you can choose from many colours.
You would need a beanie in Budapest in Winter, if not, your ear will freeze and you will either hold your ears than freezing. Avoid that, this beanie has an amazing fur inside that is so soft and comfy.
This is a must-have for snowy and extra cold days. It wasn't snowing when in Budapest, but even though, you freeze up your legs so long boots are essential and it should have fur inside.
These gloves are the best. It is actually meant for biking. But when you are walking around in Budapest you might need to look on your phone, guidebooks and even take photos. With these gloves, you can do that without taking them off! Yes, you can use your touch screen without taking them off! How cool is that!
Packing cubes are essentials everywhere you travel. It is handy to organize your stuff especially on this kind of trip. You might bring your swimmers for the thermal baths and a lot of warm clothes. I love these ones and they are so cool. The pink one is my favourite!
The Scrubba wash bag is a must-have for long-term travellers and backpackers staying in hostels, camping or backpackers in general. This washing bag makes it easier to wash your clothes and there is no washing machine or sink available.
