hello!
my name is Szilvia. I live in Budapest with my family, and I try to respond for your question.
- a weekly pass within Budapest about 23 dollar (valid for metro, bus, tram, etc)
- breakfast  - for example one coffee about 2 dollars, one croissant 1,50 dollars
- one daily menu (5-8 dollars - soup and main course) plus one coke about 2,50 dollars
- supper in the downtown from about 10 dollars

If you have any question, then you write me :-)
