By Air
Budapest (Ferihegy) International Airport is ten miles south-east of the city centre. It
has two terminals: Terminal One is reopened for low-cost airlines in September 2005;
Terminal Two is divided into two, with Terminal 2A the departure and arrival point for
flights of Malév Hungarian Airlines and Terminal 2B hosting all international carriers’
flights, including some of the budget airlines. The airport’s central telephone
number for information is (+36-1) 296-9696, and flight information is available on (+36-1)
296-7000. Luggage services can be contacted on (+36-1) 296-8108 and (+36-1) 296-7217 in
connection with flights into and out of Terminal 2A, and (+36-1) 295-3480 and (+36-1)
296-7948 for Terminal 2B. Seats on Malév flights can be booked on (+36-1) 235-3888.
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 is very popular and provides excellent value for money. It can be booked on (+36-1) 296-8555 or in person at the airport.
If you buy the Budapest Card in one of our tourist information offices at the airport, the card can be used already on the public transport from the airport.

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. The wearing of seatbelts is compulsory
in both the front and back seats, and only handless mobile telephones may be used whilst
vehicles are in motion. The alcohol limit is zero. Speed limits are 50 km/hour (31 mph) in
built-up areas and 90 km/hour (56 mph) elsewhere, except on dual carriageways (110
km/hour, 68 mph) and motorways (130 km/hour, 80 mph). The horn can only be used in
built-up areas in an emergency. 24-hour roadside assistance is available from the Magyar
Autóklub (Tel.: (+36-1) 345-1755), and emergency roadside help can also be called for by
dialling 188.
