How to get to Budapest from the airport


    A Budapest reach the city after arriving atLiszt Ferenc international airport  it's very simple, the options are many, for all needs and budgets. It is right to specify first of all that there are two terminals: at number 1 low cost flights arrive and depart, while number 2 is dedicated to scheduled flights.

    The cheapest way is obviously to use the public transport:

    1. outside the terminals is the bus stop bus 200E (at terminal 1 you can also use line 93), which you have to take in direction Kőbánya-Kispest, where you will have to change and use the Metro 3 which arrives in the center of Pest, also passing through Deak Ter, the only point where the various underground lines cross.

    2. during the night (from 23.00 pm to 4.00 am) the means are different, in fact from the airport you have to take the 900 bus in direction Dél-Pest until the Bajcsy-Zsilinszky stop where you will have to change and take the 950 or 950A. In the opposite direction, when going from the city to the airport, the stop for the change will be Honvéd ut.

    The price of the trip, both day and night, is 490 HUF (about € 1,70) if you can find the Transfer Ticket which is valid for the whole trip, otherwise you have to buy two single tickets, each of 320 HUF (for a total of about € 2,20) to be stamped on the bus and before taking the metro. This is very important to know, in the Hungarian capital the rule is that a new ticket must be stamped at every change of vehicle.



    Equally convenient and affordable (especially if you are staying in the area between Parliament and Oktogon), is the train. Very close to terminal 1 is the Ferihegy station where, between 4.00 and 23.00, every half hour, trains stop leading to the central station Nyugati station. This section in second class and with regional trains costs only 370 HUF (1,20 €).

    2. with theAirport shuttle you can take advantage of the door to door service, with prices starting from around € 10 per person per way.

    Last solution could be the taxi, which often when moving in a group can be an excellent and far from expensive solution. In this case, in fact, the rates are fixed and vary according to the areas to be reached with figures that are around € 20. One thing to watch out for, however, are abusive taxi drivers with whom you risk bad unexpected events, so the advice is to always check that the cars have the red and white logo with the inscription Főtaxi.
