Változatlanul a külföldi legénybúcsúk kedvenc célpontjai között van a magyar főváros. A partihétvégék kiszolgálása a hazai turisztikai szektor fontos ága lett: a túlnyomórészt brit ifjak évente csaknem egymilliárd forintot költenek Budapesten.

There may be some Hungarians more ruthless than Budapest taxi drivers, but it seems unlikely.
