ATMs in airports in Prague and Budapest?
I'm wondering whether I need to pick up some Czech and Hungarian currency before leaving the US next month. Are there ATMs in the airports? If so, where?
Also, some websites I've seen for Budapest hotels list prices in euros. Pardon my ignorance (and inability to find a definitive answer online), but are euros the accepted currency in Hungary or is the forint the curency I need? Thanks!

In Prague there are several ATM's in the main concourse once you are through baggage reclaim, just head left as you come out the doors and you will find them.
I am preduminh you arrive through T1, but if T2 there are a couple around there too.

Dear Cleo,
let me tell you that Hungary is the part of the modern world. So you can find ATMs, drinkable tap water and electricity. If you take the effort and check Hungary on the Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungary) for example, you can find out that Forint is the official currency. (Which means you can't pay with Euros, only at certain places /such as H&M or McDonalds/, but they're changing rate is kind of unfair.)
Anyhow, I'm not meant to be offensive (I'm sarcastic by nature) - I wish you a great trip and hope that you gain memorable experiances while disovering the world outside of the US.
P.S. Don't change currency on the streets and keep an eye on your belongings when using the public transport. (And check out the baths, they're pretty awsome.)
Best regards
a young Hungarian

Young Hungarian, you are funny. Cleo, don't worry. Both airports have ATMs.
The forint is the currency; the hotels are just trying to make it easy on you. Dump your forints before you leave the country though.
Have fun. Both cities are gorgeous with a fascinating history.
