Travel in Budapest:
From Budapest airport, affordable (if rather slow) public transport is available in the form of Bus 200E to Kőbánya Kispest. From Kőbánya Kispest you can take Metro 2 (M2) to the city centre (Deák Ferenc tér). Deák Ferenc tér provides underground and overground connections to almost any destination in Budapest (e.g., for Déli Pályaudvar take Metro 3 (M3), and for Döbrentei tér take Bus 16 and walk from Clark Ádám tér). From Keleti Pályaudvar or Nyugati Pályaudvar take Metro 3 (M3) or Metro 2 (M2) respectively to Deák Ferenc tér.
Always have a valid ticket on you (tickets can be validated on the bus or when entering the metro station (electronic and manual validation machines)). The best option is to buy a bundle of 10 or 20 tickets (gyüjtőjegy) at the newspaper counter at Arrivals or at the railway station, unless you decide to purchase a BudapestCard. There is a ticket vending machine at the bus stop at Budapest Airport. Some buses, including Bus 200 E, operate a front door only policy which means you need to validate your ticket or show your valid pass/ticket on entering the vehicle through its front door. Tickets bought on the bus are more expensive that tickets bought from vending machines or authorised retailers. For further information including a public transport route planner, please visit http://www.bkk.hu.
From Budapest airport, you might prefer to take the Airport Minibus service to any preferred destination in the city. It is cheaper than taxis (taxis operate on a fixed price policy) but you may need to wait for other passengers and other passengers might be dropped off earlier than you reach your destination. Please, contact the Airport Minibus counter at Arrivals. Alternatively, you could take the shuttle bus service to the city centre. Please, contact the shuttle bus counter at Arrivals.
