Getting to the city centre from the airport can be challenging in a foreign country: often it’s not clear what means of transport you can use and which is the simplest solution. You won’t have any problems at Budapest Airport, though, as public transport offers an easy, quick and cheap way to get to the heart of the Hungarian capital!
If you have a Budapest Card, you can get to the city from the airport at no cost. With the Budapest Card you can use all public transport free of charge, so you don’t have to pay extra for airport transfer!
Do you have a 72 hours PLUS or 72 hours FLEXI Budapest Card?
Airport Express bus 100E is in operation between Liszt Ferenc International Airport and Deák Ferenc tér, one of Budapest’s major transport hubs, running via Kálvin tér, another important location in the city. The bus service operates around the clock, seven days a week. With the Budapest Card 72 hours PLUS, you can use the 100E Airport Express bus service once upon arrival and once upon departure at no cost. If you purchased the Budapest Card 72 hours FLEXI, you can also select this as a free service.

Do you have a Classic Budapest Card?
Bus no. 200E leaves directly from the airport and takes you to Kőbánya-Kispest metro station, where you can change to metro line M3 and get to the centre easily and quickly.
