Gay & Lesbian Travellers
Budapest offers just a reasonable gay scene for its size. Most gay people are discreet in
public places and displays of affection are rare. Lesbian social life remains very much under-
ground, with a lot of private parties. There have been a couple of violent right-wing demon-
strations in response to the Budapest Pride celebrations in the recent past. Attitudes are
changing, but society generally remains conservative on this issue.

Internet Access
Almost without exception wireless (wi-fi) access is available at hostels and hotels, though a
few of the latter charge a fee for the service. Many restaurants, cafes and bars offer wi-fi,
usually free to paying customers.
Most hostels and some hotels have at least one computer terminal available to guests
either free or for a nominal sum. If you can't log on where you're staying there's probably an
internet cafe nearby, but they open and close at a rapid rate.
