What is it like to retire in Hungary?

"Yes there is an active expat community in Hungary. The foreigners living in Hungary is growing by the year because some people are here for work but then stay much longer until they retire because they like the living circumstances in Hungary.In re," remarked one retiree in Budapest.

"It is a great city, culturally, recreation and schools. However as other major cities the air is not so clean all the time. Many events are held and traffic is shut down. Public trans while not cheap it is a fair deal and monthly passes or higher is the way to go," said a retiree who moved to Budapest, Hungary.
