Pharmacies

If you find yourself in need of medicine, you will need to find a pharmacy near your location. Fortunately, Budapest has at least one in every district. Outside the building they are indicated with a green cross and with the text “patika” or “gyógyszertár”.

If you need a pharmacy during the night or holidays, check out one of the 0-24 pharmacies.
