Arriving by flight

You will arrive at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, which is well connected to major European cities with frequent daily flights. The airport is located about 16 km from the city centre, and the transfer takes approximately 30 minutes.

Budapest has two terminals (2A and 2B) within a few minutes’ walking distance from each other, making orientation easy whether you arrive from the Schengen area or from non-Schengen countries (e.g. Switzerland or the UK).

Arriving by train

Budapest has three main international railway stations – Keleti, Nyugati and Déli – offering many direct connections from major European cities, including regular trains from Vienna.

All stations are well connected to the metro system. Upon request, we are happy to arrange a private shuttle service for your arrival and departure. If you have any questions, our team will be glad to assist you.

Arriving by car

For using Hungarian motorways, you need an e-vignette, which can be purchased online or at the border. We recommend buying it online in advance to avoid queues.

In Budapest, we do not recommend using a car: parking is limited and expensive, while public transport is fast and convenient. If you have any questions, our team will be happy to assist you.

Airport/train station transfer

We organize your airport or train station transfer for both arrival and departure. Simply send us your flight/train details and phone number in advance. Once confirmed, your transfer is arranged and our team will be waiting for you.

Please make sure your contact details are correct and keep your phone on after landing at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport, as you’ll receive SMS instructions to meet your driver. Our chauffeurs speak English and German, and the ride to the city center takes about 30 minutes.

For your return, pickup is scheduled approx. 2.5 hours before your flight or 1 hour before your train departure. Please be ready on time.
