  • Culture Hardworking and creative. Values intellectual debate and personal trust.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM. Hungarians value intellectual competence and deep discussion. Building personal trust is a prerequisite for long-term business; spend time on introductions. The culture is professional but appreciates a creative and thoughtful approach.

Istanbul Business Pulse

  • Culture A bridge between East and West. Business is personal, and hospitality (tea/coffee) is a prerequisite.
  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
  • Pro Tip Aim for calls between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Turkish business culture is highly relational; starting with "Nasılsınız?" (How are you?) and building rapport is essential. Avoid scheduling critical calls late on Friday afternoons.
