What should I pack when moving to Pecs?
We asked people living in Pecs to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...
"When moving to Pecs, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate for the country's four distinct seasons, including warm clothing for the winter and lighter clothing for the summer. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Hungary can be quite rainy, especially in the spring and fall. Pack comfortable walking shoes, as Pecs is a city best explored on foot. Also, bring formal attire as Hungarians tend to dress up for theater, fine dining, and other formal events. Remember to pack all necessary toiletries, prescription medications, and a basic first aid kit. However, keep in mind that most toiletries can be purchased locally. Bring all necessary documents such as your passport, driver's license, birth certificate, medical records, and any necessary visas or work permits. Pack a voltage converter and adapter plugs for your electronics, as Hungary uses a different voltage and plug type than many other countries. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find in Hungary. Don't forget to pack personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, small keepsakes, and favorite books. Lastly, consider packing a Hungarian phrasebook or dictionary to help you navigate the language, especially if you're not yet fluent," remarked another expat who made the move to Pecs, Hungary.
