Euro ATMs are EVERYWHERE in Budapest that accept major debit cards or credit cards. It makes convenient to withdraw money. But their exchange rate is very high. You can change money at a currency exchange place or at a Hungarian bank.  You can also pay by debit or credit cards in most stores, but in marketplaces and small shops, it is good to have some cash available.
