 Me with my "Action pack
garment bag" :) by MedioLatino
You can get it all here, however for special medicaments you will need a doctor's prescription, so if you use something regularly, it's easier to just bring it with you.
You can by all types of negative/dia films, batteries, chargers, memory cards or whatsoever needed, so bring just the equipment you are using! :) Leave a Comment

We visited a bath every single day of our trip
and enjoyed it a lot. After that week my skin
had never feld that smooth.
But it doesn't work for your hair... my hair was
as dry that it would probably catch fire if I walked
too long in the sun. And it looked like one of
those bushes that has to roll over the screen
in those very warm and desolated villages
in westernmovies.So take some conditioner
with you. Some extra towels wont hurt either.
Another thing to take with you when you go bathing
is something to put on your head.
Only the géllert bath provides a ridiculous
blue double plastic thing to put on your head.
At the other baths if there is a swimming
section you need to bring it yourself.
Don't forget. Leave a Comment

In late spring and summer, temperatures in Budapest can soar to almost unbearable levels. Light clothing is therefore recommended. Sometimes there are rain showers at the end of hot and humid summer days so an umbrella and jumper are advisable to be handy for the evenings. Winters are cold - bring warm clothes. Leave a Comment

 All packed and Cookie thinks
she is going with me by Gypsystravels
I'm always prepared for the best and worst weather and traveling to Budapest during the winter time narrowed my clothing options. I knew I was going to do quite a bit of walking, so my MC Harley Davidson boots are my best friend for walking in colder weather and they are quite "fashionable" (no need to forsake fashion for function). I also take along a pair of my comfy medium heeled boots for night time. A few pair of jeans, a few warm sweaters, lite cotton long sleeve tops (in case the weather was warmer), my trusty umbrella, my pashmina scarf that can double as a blanket on the flight.
I'll always pack travel size toiletries as well. I have very long hair and I am super picky with the shampoo and conditioner I use along with the type of soap I bath with, so I always carry my own. I also take a few "first aid" items as I will admit that since I do a lot of walking, there have been times where I have taken a fall (yeah, I am a bit of a klutz at times :)
My trusty digital, two memory cards, so I can take as many pictures as my little heart desires.
I'm asthmatic, so I must carry my meds with me...I also wear contact lenses so an extra pair along with my glasses are always in my bag. Leave a Comment

I do a lot of research before I travel to any location, I am very well informed about the options for transport to and from the airport. I'm a big history buff, so I tend to read up on the history of the city I am traveling to, the local customs, the expectations the locals have on travelers. I tend to get a hold of a map and familiarize myself a bit with the streets and where my hotel is in relation to all the "important" places to visit. I will also go online with my bank to check to see if there is a branch location making my cash withdrawal easier and cheaper.
I will also make a tentative itinerary when I have only a few days, but I will not commit myself to that list. It is a way for me to narrow down the places I would like to see. This proves to be a good way to see as much as I do, but allows me to be spontaneous as well.
A few days before traveling I will also check the weather to have a better guide of my packing list. Leave a Comment

We visited in August and experienced a severe change in the weather. The first two days it was extremely hot and the 3rd day it was cold and rainy. So even in the summer it's a good idea to pack a rain coat, sweater and an umbrella.
If you plan on visiting the baths, pack a swim cap if you have one or else you'll have to wear the shower caps they sell Leave a Comment

Bring a day pack for all of the walking you'll do. We were here in March and the weather was a bit gloomy but pleasant enough to walk every day. I'm guessing that we walked somewhere between 4-10 miles a day depending on the day.
Bring good walking shoes. Both because it's easy to walk around the cities (Buda & Pest), but also because some of the sidewalks are very uneven and you want to make sure that you don't twist an ankle anywhere, especially in some of the old parts of the cities.
Febreeze - helps with the fact that all of our clothes smelled like cigarette smoke and fried food at the end of every day. We just spritzed them and were good to go.
We stayed at the nH Budapest and they had toiletries in each room if you forgot anything at home.
We brought 2 cameras - a regular pocket 35 mm and a digital camera. We used both. Just remember to bring extra film or SD cards because there's so much to take pictures of. Seemed to be plenty of places to buy film, but you can bring it with you.
Bring your swim suit! The baths are great - we went to the Szechenyi Baths and spent about 2.5 hours in the outdoor baths and the sauna. Whenever the baths are mixed you will need a suit. Even some of the non-mixed will require suits so be aware. Also bring a towel - you can rent them, but sometimes things get lost in translation (or the lack of translation).

We took a rollaboard since we were just visiting for an extended weekend.
We visited in winter (February) so we knew to bring warm weather clothes and layers. We packed scarves, hats, gloves and plenty of warm sweaters.
Shampoo, conditioner, hair gel, toothbrush, toothpaste, contact lenses, contact lens solution, deodorant, lotion, glasses and brush.

 walking in andrassy street
with a map and a guide by ophiro
A map you can find in almost any hotel you stay or a tourist information stand.
In a guide book you will sometime find small anecdotes about a place or a tip about hidden attraction that you will not find in the internet.
Another thing i am doing in my trips - writing the tips i found on the internet (and VT) in a notebook and check it too.
