Watch out for scams
🇭🇺 Hongarije
💳 "Paying in euros?"
At the payment terminal always choose forint (HUF) — the "handy" conversion to euros (DCC) costs you up to 10 % extra.
🚕 Taxi without a meter
Only get into a taxi with a logo and meter (Főtaxi, Bolt). Especially at stations and the airport, touts operate without a meter.
💱 "0% commission" exchange offices
No commission, but a poor rate in the tourist streets. Compare online first or use the currency tool in this app.
🍸 The wildly overpriced bar
"New friends" take you to a bar; the bill runs up to hundreds of euros. Pick the venue yourself — check reviews.
👮 Fake police officers
Real police never ask for your cash or card "for a check". Ask for ID and, if in doubt, call 112.

What is special here?
Tihany
80 M FROM HERE
Tihany Abbey
This is the Benedictine abbey of Tihany, founded by King Andrew I in 1055 on the steep eastern edge of the volcanic hills. The king intended a mausoleum for future Hungarian kings; the plan had an unexpected outcome, as Andrew himself became the only king buried here. Above you stands the 18th-century Baroque church with its two onion-shaped towers. Be sure to visit the lower church: the Romanesque crypt is almost a thousand years old, with six heavy pillars and thick walls.
Aranyház means Golden House: the volcanic cone owes its name to the pale yellow mineral crust on its rocks.
In the protected western part no roads are allowed — 400 hectares of forest must stay untouched.
The lavender fields were the first industrial lavender plantation in Hungary.

Veszprém

18 km from your current location
Veszprém: the city of queens on five hills
Every Hungarian queen was crowned here by the bishop of Veszprém — a privilege the city held for nine centuries, which is why it still calls itself the city of queens. The castle quarter stands on a rock above the Séd valley, and from the viaduct you look straight down onto the roofs. In 2023 Veszprém was European Capital of Culture, together with the whole Balaton region.

ALEX RECOGNISES
Fisherman’s Bastion
Never a fortress — that is the joke. Frigyes Schulek built this between 1895 and 1902 as a pure viewing terrace for the millennium of Hungary, leaning against the real medieval city wall. The seven towers stand for the seven Magyar chieftains who rode into this basin in 895, one tower per tribe. The name comes from the fishermen's guild that had to defend this stretch of wall in the Middle Ages. It was badly damaged in the Second World War; the restoration was led by János Schulek — the builder's own son.

FAQ
Questions about the features
Do all features appear in every app?
Yes, your app starts with every feature that suits your trip. Whatever you do not use, you switch off yourself in the settings.
Can I hide features I do not use?
Yes. In the settings you switch off Weather, Currency, Phrases, the travel guide or Expenses yourself. For Alex you also choose which topics he does and does not talk about. This works per device, so your travel companions keep their own choice.
How does the app know the weather for the right place?
The app reads your planning and shows, for each day, the weather where you sleep that night. Drive from Siófok to Tihany and the weather location moves along automatically. You never have to set a city.
What can Alex do that an ordinary guidebook cannot?
Alex starts from where you are standing and tells the story of that spot, read aloud in a real voice. You can also photograph a building and ask what it is. There is nothing to wait for and it works without internet. Alex simply comes with your travel app.
What happens to the app after my trip?
From the last evening the dashboard becomes a look back with a summary of your trip. Your planning, your expenses, the practical info and the stories you opened simply stay. The app remains yours.
