How to Get To Budapest
The good news is that Hungary is a part of the Schengen area, which means one does not need a passport or an ID to visit Budapest or any other part of the country.
By Train
The train will take you most probably to the Keleti pu. (Keleti Pályaudvar) railway station, from where you can easily get to the city centre by subway. The Keleti railway station, as well as another one – Nyugati are beautiful buildings, so I recommend visiting them even if you are going to use another means of transport to get to Budapest.

Travelling by Plane
In the airlines’ offerings you can also find cheap air tickets to Budapest. For comfort lovers, travelling to Budapest by plane is the right choice.
The Budapest airport’s name is Budapest Ferihegy. From there, you can get to town by train. It takes about half an hour and it will cost you 300 forints. But you can also choose to go by bus. At the airport start buses number 200 or 93. They will take you to the subway station Köbánya-Kispest (the blue line, number 3). By subway you can easily get to the station Deák Ferenc Tér in the town centre, the transfer station of all three lines of the Budapest subway.
From the airport you can also continue by a minibus, or a taxi.
