Several entries have already been made for Budapest so much of what I have to say has been said elsewhere although I thought visitors may find this summary useful.
Having looked up various websites to see where I could find some action there were a few experiences which previous messages reinforced.
1. Budapest is a relatively safe city
In the time was was there I did not feel concerned for my safety when out late at night. However, I doubt the city is crime-free so you still would need to keep your wits about you.
2. Thai massage by the bucket-load.
There are loads of Thai massage parlours, however many of them are legit and certainly the one I visited was all above board, not a hint of a happy ending. I am aware that some do offer additional services so all I can say is if you want to seek them out whether or not you will be offered 'something extra' will be hit and miss.
3. Always pay in local currency
Many places accept Euros or local currency (HUF), if given the choice pay in HUF - you'll always get a better rate. I estimate the difference was 10 to 20%.
4. Prostitution is legal but brothels are not.
I found several websites that suggested the location for the red light district. The reality, I found was there is no such thing as the police seek to prevent such areas becoming established so the areas streetwalkers operate varies. Prostitutes operate but discretely for this reason. As such, casual tourists will not notice them during the day or even at night. Because the working girls seek to blend in and look like other girls just out for the night I would not recommend approaching girls who are just hanging around. A lot of girls seem to be doing this at night, either alone or in groups and I don't think they were all on the game. I found that as a guy on his own just walking around at night that they would approach me and ask me if I wanted sex and/ or a BJ. I noticed that they tend to hang around intersections and once they had clocked that I was on my own would then approach me for business. Be careful about girls operating in pairs as they will almost certainly be scammers. My conclusion is if you want to pick up a streetwalker and take her back to your hotel then you won't have to try too hard.
5. During my week-long stay I visited Dream House twice (
External Link/Members Only). They offer only erotic massage so if you are looking to get properly laid then this isn't for you. As someone who enjoys this type of service I would recommend it. An hour's massage was 40k HUF which works out at about £88. On the first occasion I simply bowled up and asked for an appointment but had to wait about 40 mins before I was able to see anyone. On the first occasion I saw Csenge. The service seems pretty standard, lots of oil, some rather arousing under-swipes and then b2b, front and back. This became a very fine tit-wank before being finished off with a slow but hugely enjoyable hand-job making me cum with such force that I didn't think I still had in me. What was particularly memorable as whilst wanking me off she presented her gorgeous ass and had no objections to me playing with her soft pussy.
I simply had to go back and decided to make a phone appointment second time. The receptionist speaks very good English as, indeed the girls so. I got to see Sabrina (pictured here). In conversation with her she told me that she was unhappy with her picture on the website and was getting it retaken the day after I saw her. This is the new picture which is entirely accurate. Again the erotic message was exactly the same. Sabrina has lovely, natural tits (as did Csenge) although she would not let me explore her pussy ("sorry, that's closed"). She was happy for me to cop a feel of her gorgeous tits though. Having said that she did give what I would say was possibly the best hand-job ever. Her technique after the standard b2b and tit-wank to get you hard was to run her finger slowly up my shaft making me even harder. She would then stroke my balls before slowly wanking my now very hard cock. Unlike some girls who give the just jack you off as fast as they can this was slow and deliberate, pausing to slowly massage my balls with her oiled hands. I thought the previous experience was good but this, when I came, was mind-blowing.
As I say, this won't be for everyone but if you like being wanked-off by a pretty girl whilst you lie back and enjoy the view then I would recommend this place.
ConclusionI found Budapest is far less overt than, say, Amsterdam and despite prostitution being legal operates under the surface so goes pretty much unnoticed by tourists and families. However, if you want to find the ex industry here I don't think you will need to scratch the surface too hard.
