Public transport in Budapest 1.

After you arrived with your flight and could managed to get to the city from the airport, somehow you need to travel in the city. In Budapest the easiest way for this is using the public transport.

In the center of Budapest you can get to anywhere between half or one hour, because of the good transportation. On the main roads usually more buses or trams, so it's really easy to get to a place from somewhere. 

Budapest has three metro lines: M1, M2 and M3. The M1 is the yellow line and is the shortest way, the peoples in Budapest call it the underground. This was the first metro line in the European continent! It's really old, was constructed in the end of the 19th century. Some decades ago it was totally renovated and now the stations looks like when they were built.

The line goes from the Vörösmarty square (he was a Hungarian poet) to Mexikói út (Mexican street). You can  see a lot from Budapest's history around this line, such as Heroes square, Andrássy street, the Opera and etc.

The M2 line is a "newer" line, than the M1. This is the red line. It was built during the 1960-1970s, so now it's kinda old too. But some years ago the stations were renewed, and now there are new trains also on this line. It goes from Örs vezér sqare (was a leader during the Hungarian settlement) from the Déli pályaudvar (Southern Railway Station).

The M3 line is the newest line, it's color is blue. It was built during the 1970-1980s, it will be renewed in the next years. This is the longest metro line in Budapest. It goes from Kőbánya-Kispest (two districts of Budapest) to Újpest-központ (means Újpest-center, another district of Budapest). You can reach the airport using this line (after the 200E bus). 

All of the three metro lines has a connection in the Deák Ferenc square (he was a Hungarian politician and patriot). This is one of the busiest squares in Budapest. And the good point is that you can use all of the metro lines by transferring to them in this square. It's quite big and has a lot of stairways and escalators, but the markings are clear and understandable, so you cannot get lost there. :)
