Transportation options from the Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport to Budapest City Center:
Public Transport:
- Direct bus option
Bus line 100E runs directly between Liszt Ferenc International Airport and the center of Budapest, Deák Ferenc tér. The bus service operates around the clock, seven days a week and Bus 100E provides a convenient, cost-effective and fast connection between the airport and the city center. The special Airport shuttle bus (100E) ticket costs 2200 HUF (about 6 euros) and is available for purchase at all BKK customer service centers, ticket offices and ticket vending machines, or in the Budapest GO app. Please be aware that no other types of tickets or travel passes are valid on line 100E. For more details, please visit this site of BKK (https://bkk.hu/en/travel-information/public-transport/airport-shuttle/)
- Bus + Metro 3 line
- Another (less comfortable, but really cheap) option is the bus 200E that you can find right next to the direct bus line 100E, at the airport terminal. This bus runs between the airport terminal and the first stop of the Metro 3 line, called Kőbánya-Kispest. You will need a normal single ticket pass for the 200E bus, that you can buy at all BKK customer service centers, ticket offices and ticket vending machines, or in the Budapest GO app. If you are taking this option, you will need to take the bus 200E to its last stop – Kőbánya-Kispest, from where you will need an additional single ticket for the metro. The metro line 3 runs to the city center, stopping at Deák Ferenc tér and Arany János utca (both ca. 10 min. walk from the conference venue). Please note that unlike the 100E line, with this option, you will need to change (bus + metro) and you will need two single tickets (450 HUF each, around 1.1 eur for each ticket). For more details, please visit this site of BKK (https://bkk.hu/en/travel-information/public-transport/airport-shuttle/)
Other options:
- Fotaxi (+36 1 2222 222; +36 20 2222 222; www.fotaxi.hu) is the only authorized taxi service of the airport, their booths are located right at the exits at Terminals 2A and 2B. A ride to the city center should typically cost around 15000 HUF (approx. 40 EUR) depending on traffic conditions. All taxis accept bank card payments and must provide a receipt/invoice upon completion of the journey.
Please be aware of exposing yourself to risk if you use non-regulated taxi service providers soliciting at the terminal buildings. - Bolt taxi (similar to Uber) can also be arranged once you arrive. We can’t give an estimate, but you can see the approximate price in the app, once you download it.
