From the Airport to the Hotel

The Budapest Ferihegy II International Airport is located in the eastern part of Pest. Arriving at the airport after the passport control and baggage claim you may find a registration desk for the Airport Minibus service. The Minibus service serves the whole Budapest area and has fixed prices (around 2400 HUF one way). We suggest that the participants arriving at the airport use the Minibus service.

There is also a taxi service. In the hall there is a map indicating the prices of a taxi from the Airport to different regions of the city. Taxi drivers are not allowed to leave their cab, to avoid drivers offering their services in the hall.

The Budapest Public Transport operates buses (called "Reptér-busz") between the airport and Köbánya-Kispest Center (Subway 3, southern terminal station) during working days (between 4.55 AM and 11.20 PM every 15 min, after 7 PM every 20 min, in rush hours every 10 min.) and in week-ends (same timetable, but no rush hours). Regular HUF 140 ticket or pass is needed.

Car rentals: there are several companies on and off site (the latter providing a free shuttle to the renting office). Check with your travel agent.
