What should I pack when moving to Budapest?

"When moving to Budapest, it is important to pack items that will help you feel comfortable and settled in your new home. Consider bringing clothing for all seasons, as the weather in Budapest can range from hot summers to cold winters. It is also a good idea to bring any necessary documents, such as a passport, visa, and any other important paperwork. Additionally, it is helpful to bring items that will make your new home feel like home, such as pictures, decorations, and any other items that will make you feel at home. Finally, it is important to bring any necessary electronics, such as a laptop, phone, and any other items that you may need," said a member in Budapest, Hungary.
