Sell the Budapest Card – it is worth it!
The Budapest Card
Vienna, Berlin, Heidelberg, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Oslo, Salzburg or Stockholm are just a few of the many cities of Europe where you can find city cards giving excellent discounts for tourists.
Based on this principle in 1997 the Tourism Office of Budapest created the Budapest Card, which offers a quality program package for individual tourists, making it easier for them to discover the attractions of the Hungarian capital.
The card and the booklet that comes with it is a good opportunity for museums, attractions and other service providers to introduce themselves to tourists and to attract them with special offers. The aim is to lengthen the stay of foreign tourists in Budapest and to make sure that they spend their stay here in an active way.

Types of sale
Commission: Most of our partners sell the Budapest Card under a commission system, we subsequently settle the accounts with them once a month, according to the last months’ sales.
Direct sales: Some people take the “risk” of cash sales and pay for the price of the cards straight away, either by cash or with bank transfer. In this case it is important to remember that we cannot take back these cards or exchange them for those valid in the following year. The larger risk is naturally rewarded with a higher commission.
Voucher: We have created a card voucher for foreign travel agencies which tourists can exchange for Budapest Cards at the main arrival points of the capital (airports, railway stations, motorway petrol stations), as well as in the city centre and in the Buda Castle.
