  • Walking vs private car — distances and traffic feel different by neighborhood (Pest Center, Castle Hill).
  • Ticket strategy — timed entries for headline sights should be booked early in peak months (Apr–Oct; baths year-round).
  • Food & energy — tell the guide about kids, elders, allergies and preferred meal length.
  • Language expectation — ask whether Mandarin (普通话 / Mandarin) is fluent conversation, not greetings only.
