Travel/Hotel
Travel
Budapest — capital of Hungary, and often called the "Paris of the East", the "Pearl of the Danube" or the "Queen of the Danube" — has its own distinctive character and attractions: old world charm and modern lifestyle; magnificent architecture; grand coffee houses and trendy cafés; classical music in the Opera House and the latest hits in glitzy nightclubs; shiny new shopping malls and little antique shops; and the Danube with 9 splendid bridges and 3 islands.
The Danube River provides striking vistas as it bisects the two city parts, Buda and Pest. Covering an area of 200 square miles, with a population of 1.8 million, the ideal size of the Hungarian capital allows you to explore its major attractions on foot or public transportation.
Visit the following tourist sites for more information on city sightseeing, restaurants, and other travel details:
Airport
Budapest (Ferihegy) International Airport is ten miles south–east of the city centre. The airport’s central telephone number for information is (+36–1) 296–9696, and flight information is available on (+36–1) 296–7000.
The main car hire firms have offices in the arrivals halls. For those not driving, the Airport Minibus will carry passengers to and from any part of Budapest. It can be booked on (+36–1) 296–8555 or in person at the airport.
Rail
More than fifty trains a day provide direct links between Budapest and no fewer than 25 other capital cities. Trains to Vienna run every three hours. There is also a popular network of Inter City trains linking Budapest with the main Hungarian centres. International trains operate from the three largest stations:
Keleti pályaudvar: VIII., Baross tér. Tel: (+36–1) 413–4610
Nyugati pályaudvar: VI., Nyugati tér Tel: (+36–1) 349–8503
Déli pályaudvar I. Krisztina krt. 37. Tel: (+36–1) 375–6593
All three international railway stations are part of the Budapest Underground system, the Metró.
By Car
All Hungary’s motorways and most of her main roads radiate out from the capital. The M1, M3, M5 and M7 are toll motorways, and you must pay the appropriate toll (either at the border or at larger petrol stations) and display the windscreen sticker before joining the road. Road signs conform to continental standards.
