Hungary, located in the heart of Europe, offers rich history, culture, beautiful landscapes, and friendly people. During my journey in Hungary, I visited various places such as Budapest, Feyenoord, Eger, Pécs, Harkány, and each left a lasting impression on me. Now, I will provide you with some transportation recommendations to help you navigate Hungary smoothly.
- Getting to Hungary
Direct flights from the UK to Hungary usually land at Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport. I recommend using platforms like Expedia to search and compare flights. If you have ample time, the train network throughout Europe is also a convenient option, especially with the Interrail pass for multi-city trips.
- Inter-City Transportation
Hungary has a well-developed train system, and trains are the main mode of transportation between cities. I recommend using the online platform of MAV (Magyar Államvasutak, Hungarian State Railways) to purchase train tickets. Alternatively, if you prefer driving, you can use car rental platforms like Europcar.
- In-City Transportation
In major Hungarian cities, buses, metros, and trams are common modes of transportation. Budapest, for example, has four metro lines covering major tourist attractions. Tickets can be purchased through the official website or app of BKK (Budapesti Közlekedési Központ, Budapest Transport Center). For short-term visitors, purchasing a day pass or a seven-day pass is a cost-effective choice.
- Cycling
Many cities in Hungary are cyclist-friendly. For example, in Budapest, you can use the MOL Bubi bike-sharing system, which has over 2,000 bicycles and more than 100 docking stations.
- Taxis
Taking a taxi in Hungary is also convenient, especially at night or when carrying heavy luggage. I recommend using ride-hailing apps like Uber, which operate in Hungary.
Finally, I want to emphasize that travel is about experiencing, and choosing the transportation mode that suits you best is the key. Hungary is a charming country waiting for you to explore.
