How to Get Around?

FROM AIRPORT TO HOTEL

BY TAXI

Főtaxi transports passengers between the terminals and Budapest. (No other taxi companies are allowed in the airport as per today.)

Reservations can be made in person at the Főtaxi booths located at the exits of Terminals 2A and 2B. At the taxi ranks in front of the stands, taxis are continuously waiting for passengers.

In Hungary, the taxi decree regulates the price of taxis at a fixed tariff of 400 HUF/km (1,15 EUR/km), in addition to a one-off basic fee of 1000 HUF (2.9 EUR) and a waiting fee. A ride to the city center should typically cost around 9800 HUF (29 EUR), depending on traffic conditions.

Please be aware of potentially exposing yourself to risks by using other, non-contracted taxi service providers soliciting at the terminal buildings.

The hotels address that should be given to the driver is:

B&B Hotels Budapest
Budapest IX.
Angyal utca 1–3.
1093

Public Transport Tickets—How to Purchase?

Please download and use the BKK (Budapest Public Transport) app—it's quite a user-friendly tool! You can plan your route with it (e.g., to see sights, reach venues, etc.), check bus/tram/trolley/tube timetables, as well as you can buy your passes and 100E tickets via the app.

The weekly pass may be the most useful form of ticket/pass for you. (Please remember that you have to get an extra ticket for the bus transfer to the airport.)

You can buy both passes:

in paper-based form: at any ticket ATMs or in any BKK ticket offices, which can be found around the main transport junctions; or
in digital form: via the BKK app.

In both cases, please ask for advice or check the app instructions how to validate your pass.

Attention! If you need an invoice about your ticket/weekly pass, please buy it in a BKK ticket office or a BKK Client Service Center. Here and here you can see where to find them.
