Budapest airport transfers
Budapest is the Hungarian capital, and the Danube divides it: hilly Buda with the castle on the west bank, flat Pest with the parliament and the shopping streets on the east. Ferenc Liszt International Airport lies to the south-east, on the Pest side, which matters when you book because a Buda hotel means crossing the river at the end of the drive. This page lists the private routes from the airport into the city and a selection of hotels from the Budapest catalogue to book alongside.

Getting around Budapest
Leaving Ferenc Liszt airport, the road passes through the south-eastern suburbs and reaches the centre from the Pest side. If you are staying on the Buda side, the driver crosses by bridge; several bridges link the banks and your hotel's position decides which. The thermal baths that are part of staying in Budapest are spread across the city, so you may be crossing again during your stay. A booked car is worth having if you land late, if you have a group with cases, or if your hotel sits up in the castle district where streets are narrow and finding the entrance is harder than reaching the neighbourhood. For a solo traveller with a rucksack bound for the centre of Pest, it is optional. Pick the route into the city, enter your pickup time and passenger count and compare what comes back. Then choose a hotel from the list or search the Budapest catalogue with your dates on AI Concierge.
