Budapest - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the relative size of the expatriate community? How would you describe overall morale among expatriates?

In addition to the Embassy presence, there are strong expat communities from other countries as well. Many diplomats joined the Brody Club, where you can meet many expats. Morale is excellent. This city is a treasure. - Feb 2020


Decent size. Morale is very good. Great place to be. - Nov 2018


Very large (see number of international schools). Lots of people through Embassies, Exxon, a large missionary population, and many other businesses like IBM or PWC. Morale is good. People like it here (except when there is a hiring freeze because working on the economy is super hard). - Dec 2017


Big. Lots of people through Embassies, Exxon, a large missionary population, and random other businesses. - Jan 2012


Large--there are many NGOs and corporations with regional headquarters here. - Apr 2010


Not as big as we would have expected. You can find them at some real expat hangouts, though, which can be fun: Iguana's tex-mex restaurant and Treehugger Dan's bookstore. - Feb 2008
