Check-in

Anybody, who wanna come to Hungary, at first have to get here somehow. It's impossible to avoid, so we need these informations. Now I'd like to write about this.

What are my possibilities coming to Hungary?

We have a few options, let's see them!

1.)

If you come from Europe: there are more options, you can reach Hungary by train, by bus, by car or it's possible by ship also. Or by plane, but we'll talk about that later. Sorry I forgot, you can come by bicycle, or on foot also. But by spacecraft not yet.

Every international line run into Budapest, the capitol of Hungary. It is the biggest city in Hungary, with the most attractions, so it is a quite good thing to reach it. :)

The trains: Budapest has three big head stations, called Western, Southern and Eastern. The Eastern is the most important for us, because the international trains arrive there. It's a very nice old station, which was built in the 19th century. It has a unique atmosphere, and for that reason, there are a lot of costume film shoots.

It has a quite good location, it's close to the city center and has an underground connection also. There goes the metro number two, it's the red line. The station is called "Keleti pályaudvar" (means Eastern Station). You can see its position on Google Maps:

By train you can come directly, from many European countries. For example, Berlin, Frankfurt,  Zürich, Rome, Milan, Prague, Vienna, Warsaw,  Kiev, Moscow, Istanbul etc. The international trains are usually quite  cultural, clean and modern, but unfortunately quite slow also for a long journey. For example,  a Berlin-Budapest train trip is 13 hours... but the view is very nice! 

Next version: you can come here by bus. It's quite similar to the train version, the disadvantage are the long travel time, but by bus, you can reach more European cities,  for example London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, Rome etc. 
The international bus station is called "Népliget" station (it means people's park). It's a bit further from the city center, but it has an underground connection also, with the metro number 3 (blue line). The station is called "Népliget" (what a surprise, not?). The bus station looks like this:

And its location on Google Maps: ( The big green area near to the station is the People's Park.)

By ship: if you think you're the coolest person in the world, it's your choice. It's the slowest and most expensive version, but probably the most beautiful and most remarkable. 

You can approach Budapest on the Danube, from Vienna, Bratislava, Passau and other German cities. And you don't need to use the public transport, because you'll arrive here:

So it has its advantage also....

But let's get back to the average person's versions.

2.)

If you come from America, Asia, or you just want to arrive faster, you can come by plane. Hungary has two international airports: there's an airport in Budapest and an other one in Debrecen.

Debrecen is the smaller airport, you can only come here from London, Milan and Eindhoven and Germanian cities. The other airport is in Budapest and it has connection to almost every European capitals and bigger cities. There are a lot of charter and cheap flights, but unfortunately, there's no direct flight from other continents, such as America or Asia, but Budapest has a good connection to the biggest European airports, like Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris or London.

The airport of Budapest called "Ferihegy Airport" (it's the older name, but it's still in use in public) or "Liszt Ferenc International Airport" (Liszt Ferenc, or Franz Liszt was a great Hungarian composer in the 19th century). The airport has three terminals: Terminal 1, 2A and 2B. The terminal 1 is now closed for indefinitely, so if you come to Hungary, you can be sure, that you'll arrive to Terminal 2. Terminal 2A and 2B are next to each other.

The airport of Budapest has an interesting advantage. It's one of the closest airport to the city center between the European cities.  It's a good score for it, because you can get to the city quite fast. 

The easiest way to get to the city is using the public transportation. There's an airport bus called 200E, and it goes between the airport and the final stop of the metro, which is called "Kőbánya-Kispest" (it means Stonepit-Smallpest, but it doesn't make a sense in Hungarian too. 

And there you can change to the metro number 3 (blue line), and get to the center easily. This whole thing is approximately 30 minutes. You only need two single tickets, it's about 2 euros. 
Of course there are direct bus transfers and shuttles to the city, many provider give you airport transfer to or from the city. The prices are approximately 10 euros. 

You can see the airport is quite close to the city:

The airport looks like as any airport in the world:
