Travel Essentials

Hungarian passport holders enter Italy freely as EU and Schengen citizens. No visa, no fee, no time limit on stays. A valid Hungarian national ID card or passport is sufficient. Both countries are in the Schengen Area, so flights between them operate with no border control.
For stays beyond 3 months, register at the local Anagrafe (civil registry office) for residency. EU citizens must also apply for a Certificato di Iscrizione Anagrafica at the local Comune, which is free or costs a small administrative fee (EUR 16 bollo stamp). Bring proof of employment or self-employment, or proof of sufficient resources (roughly EUR 6,000 per year for a single person) plus health insurance. An Italian fiscal code (codice fiscale) from the Agenzia delle Entrate is needed for any contract, SIM card, or bank account.
Direct flights from Budapest to Rome run about 1 hour 50 minutes on Wizz Air and Ryanair. Milan is about 1 hour 40 minutes. Seasonal routes cover Naples, Catania, Bari, Venice, Bologna, and Palermo. Italy uses the euro. No vaccination requirements. Hungarian driving licenses are valid for short stays; residents must convert to an Italian license at the local Motorizzazione within 1 year. Italian bureaucracy is notoriously slow, so expect multi-week waits for codice fiscale and residency appointments in larger cities.
