Everyone thinks that bigger post offices are quicker because they have more staff - they do, but they are also busier and queues are longer. Try the smaller post offices. Since our walks begin at Vörösmarty tÉr, note the side-street at the northern end of the square, with Post Office No. 51 at Dorottya utca 9. (T: 318-6441.)
You will notice that some addresses are given with the district number in Roman numerals first, and some with a four-digit postcode in Arabic numerals. For speedier delivery of letters, the postcode should be used. The correct way to address an envelope in Hungary is:
The logic of the postcode is that 1 indicates Budapest , the next two digits the Budapest district, and the final digit the sorting-office's division of the district. The same address would be found under. 'V. King Kong utca 6.' in a directory.
