Public Transport in Hungary
Dear mentees,
we are writing this short article to help you find the quickest way to the city centre once you have landed at Budapest International Airport.
The buses that you can commute with depart from Terminal 2. You can buy tickets from the automatic machines found by the exit. Please note that a ticket is valid for one route. You can also take a cab – taxi – that costs around 7000-8000 HUF. Please make sure you have Hungarian forints with you. Currency exchange points are available on the airport as well.
For more information please visit this page:
Please do not forget that this article is just a short guide and that you can always count on your mentors. Should you have any questions about travelling and public transportation in Hungary please do not hesitate to ask for their help.
