Airport
Budapest
The main airport in Hungary is located south of Budapest. In Hungarian, the full name of this airport is Ferihegyi Nemzetközi Repülőtér, but this is usually abbreviated to Ferihegyi or simply Budapest Airport. Nowadays, the official name is Ferenc Liszt Repülőtér. There are two terminals here (next to each other): 2A and 2B.
Budapest Airport
Transport to Budapest city centre:
Train/bus
There is a train to Nyugati Station. The station is a 200-metre walk across a footbridge. However, it is easier to take the 200E bus (900 at night) to Nyugati Station or to Ferihegy Station. A cheaper ticket is available for the latter. You will need to have a train ticket as well.
Car and bus
The airport is situated 20 kilometres south-east of Budapest city centre at the end of Üllői út, one of the Hungarian capital's main thoroughfares. There is a dedicated lane for traffic to and from the airport. The M0 motorway also allows you to travel quickly around Budapest and to destinations outside the city.
