How to get from Budapest Airport to the city: all options
There are several ways to get from Budapest Airport to the centre. Which one is best depends on your luggage, the time of arrival and how many of you are travelling:
- Airport Express bus 100E – runs from Terminal 2 to Deák Ferenc tér in the city centre in about 35–45 minutes. It needs a special ticket and does not take you to your door.
- Bus 200E + metro M3 – the cheapest option, but with a change at Kőbánya-Kispest and a metro ride with your bags.
- Taxi from the rank – the official airport taxi waits outside the arrivals hall; at busy times there can be a queue.
- Shared shuttle – a minibus with other passengers, with stops at several hotels on the way.
- Private transfer – the driver waits for you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and takes only you, directly to your address. The best choice for families, groups, heavy luggage and late arrivals.
