Budapest Airport to Hotel

Our flight gets into Liszt Ferenc International Airport Terminal 2a at 8:50 am.

We can't check into the Radisson Blu until 2 pm. The hotel doesn't appear to offer transportation from the airport. It is in Zone 6.

Zona Taxi runs from the airport to Zones 1-4. It costs $25 for the two of us, but I'm not sure if it will go to our hotel.

For $20, we can take a shuttle. Basically we tell the driver where we want to go, and when the shuttle van is full, it leaves the airport. It may go all over the city, depending on who else is on board.

Or we can take bus 200E to the blue line metro station Kobánya-Kispest. From there, we ride the blue line to Nyugati pályaudvar‎, (the main train station) then walk a little southeast down Terez Korut Street to our hotel. It will probably take about an hour. Transit pass is $2.50 each. I assume we'll need one for the bus and one for the train. I imagine there's a public transit pass we can buy for our 3 days there if we think we'll need it.


It looks like we can also take bus 200E from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1. From there, we get on Személy train towards Nyugati pályaudvar‎. Trains leave every half hour and cost $1.75.


I think we should plan to take the bus to the blue line. Hopefully we can buy one pass for both.
