How-to get around!

There are a variety of options for getting around Budapest and they are all cheap, safe and clean. The metro, tram, buses and trolleybuses operate 04h30-23h00 each day. Night services are available on the buses and trams.

The same tickets can be used on all forms of public transport with a single ticket journey (for 60 minutes) costing HUF185, a three-day pass HUF2500 and a seven-day pass HUF3400. These tickets are available at metro ticket windows, newspaper kiosks and automated machines in majority metro stations. You must validate tickets on boarding and you must stamp a new ticket if you change lines. Alternatively you can pay for a ticket that allows one transfer for HUF320. Carnets of ten single tickets are available for HUF1665.

The Budapest Tourist Card gives free travel on the public transport network as well as reduced admission to many attractions around the city. It is available for either 48hrs or 72hrs (costing HUF4700 and HUF5900 respectively) from metro stations and other transport terminuses. Each card is valid for one adult and accompanying child under 14.
