Transport
The country is easily accessible by air and land and even water transport thanks to its central position in Europe.
Air
Those are the main airports in Hungary: International Airport in Budapest, the airport of Debrecen in Eastern Hungary and the airport of Sármellék (Hévíz–Balaton Airport) in Western Hungary.
Train
Hungarian rail transport is cheap and comfortable. Budapest is easily accessible from any direction by the diverse international railway travel offered by the National State Railways. Long distance slow-trains are available from many European cities, which allow for a more peaceful, observing journey to Hungary. You can find more information on railway timetables on the website of HUNGARIAN STATE RAILWAYS.
Bus services
Regular bus services operate between Budapest (and other Hungarian cities) and cities of neighbouring countries, and more distant European towns. Most buses arrive at and depart from Népliget Bus Station. You can inquire about timetables, ticket prices and luggage services, if needed, at the station.
The price of international bus tickets, much like plane tickets, may vary with the time of booking and the number of tickets available. Volánbusz has an extensive bus service system in Hungary. Sometimes bus rides can be quicker than trains at long distances. You can find more information at: volanbusz.hu/en.
By car
Those who choose to travel by car or motorbike will be pleased to find well-maintained and extensive roads in the country, with an adequate domestic highway system for fast travel. Highways are designated by the letter M and a number, or the letter E indicates they are connected to the European highway system. Motorways in Hungary are typically two-lane highways in each direction with an emergency lane on the side. You can find more information on the Hungarian and English language website of THE HUNGARIAN POLICE. Toll roads in Hungary were introduced in 2013, and cover 6,500 km of the road network of the Hungarian public road network, including its motorways, highways, and main routes. Driving on these roads requires the purchase of a pass. It’s a pre-paid ticket for the one-time use of a specific road in a specific direction.
