2008 CITY-STAR Prices ex. Hungary published

by GyuriFT

The representative of MÁV sent me the new CITY-STAR ticket prices ex-Hungary.No significant change or price increase.Valid CITY-STAR destinations ex-Hungary:Hungary-Austria (not bad!)Hungary-Austria-Germany (one of the best deals!)Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria-Greece (lousy deal; even as there is no train now - how silly! Don't buy it)Hungary-Romania-Bulgaria (not the best but OK)Hungary-Serbia-Bulgaria (not too bad, Budapest-Sofia-Budapest will be 77 Euro r/t, for two 57.75 /person)Hungary-Slovakia-Czech Republic (very lousy to Praha unless 4 people traveling together)Hungary-Slovakia-Czech Republic-Germany (The "other" Germany is deal is somewhat better, with kids much better.)http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/1723/city1uv2.pnghttp://img440.imageshack.us/img440/1920/city2ff8.pnghttp://img227.imageshack.us/img227/9900/city3lc6.pnghttp://img149.imageshack.us/img149/5009/city4zw1.png

The Budapest Metro

by Paul2001

Budapest has a very expensive, reasonably modern and efficient metro system. I used it alot when I was there and I it served me well. My only complaint was that the trains themselves could be more modern or a least painted over. The stations are clean and bright so you will not feel threatened on it.The metro system consists of the Blue, Red and Yellow lines. This last Yellow line, which goes along Andrassy ut, is actually the second oldest line in Europe (London's was the first). It has been recently renovated and the stations are suppose to look like they did back in 1894 when the system opened up. The Red and Blue lines are more modern and less attractive. They are however more useful and reach out into the suburbs. They are also very deep and you will take some the longest escalator rides imaginable to go down to the platform.As in many cities in Europe, cost of fare depends on how...

Vienna-Budapest-Vienna r/t for 29 Euro by train

by GyuriFT

Combining a well-known Vienna-Bratislava-Vienna or Bratislava-Vienna-Bratislava deal (14 Euro) with Budapest-Bratislava special relation discount (15 Euro r/t) makes this deal possible. Since there is a Budapest-Vienna 29 Euro discount for residents of Hungary, this deal is more appealing "the other way" because normally the tickets from Vienna do cost more.This deal does not involve any seat or contingent limitation, neither any pre-booking or seat reservation. However, as all railway deals it may disappear at December 9 on any given year. There is no indication, it would disapper this year. This trip involves at least one train change in Bratislava.Travel Between: Sun January 01, 2006 - Thu December 31, 2009More info: http://www.vor.at/ireds3/page.php?P=36

Vienna -> Budapest 21.54 Euro by train

by GyuriFT

Most travellers think of Austra as the "home" of red ÖBB railway couches and Hungary as the "home" of blue MÁV railway couches. Wrong. Since 1872 there is a little but great, private-owned GYSEV/Raaberbahn/ROeEE railway. This raiway spawns in eastern Austria and also in western Hungary with Sopron (Ödenburg in German) being it's main hub.The information on the railway web site is in three languages: German, English, Hungarian:https://www.gysev.hu/portal/page?_pageid=74,55447&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTALDue historic reasons, Sopron is in both Hungarian and Austrian domestic tariff, so everyone can buy LEGALLY Austrian and Hungarian domestic tickets and "join" them in Sopron. This offers a terrific deal going both directions because on Austrian territory the passenger pays according domestic discounted "VOR" tariff and in Hungary the regular tariff.Sample: the Sopron - Budapest ticket is...

Hungary by bus

by Tobias_Plieninger

Inside Hungary train and bus connections are both very frequent.If you ride by bus you have one advantage you have not the risk of meeting a corrupt conductor.For details see my hungary tourist trap tip.

Take the Silko up to the Castle Hill in Budapest.

by Paul2001

Probably one of the most flavourable way to get up to the Castle Hill is by the Siklo or funicular. Although I enjoyed my walk up the leafy paths to the top of the hill, on the second day that I visited I decided that the Siklo would be much more fun. In a way it is an attraction in itself. The Siklo was built in 1870 and begins at Clark Adam ter and heads up to North end of the Royal Palace, just steps away from the museums.The trip up cost 450ft to go up hill and 250ft to go down hill. The Siklo runs from 7:30am to 10pm almost daily. Oddly it is closed on the first and third Monday of each month.

Trains, trams and metros

by bartlese

The eastiest way to get around the country is train. if you want to check train times to and from places and to get the price you should go to http://www.elvira.hu/ for those of you who don't speak Hungarian, you can choose the language you would like to view it in. at the train stations in Budapest there is usually an automatic machine that i believe you can view and hungarian, english and German.also, in my opinion, the best way to get around if you dont know budapest very well is by Metro (subway) they have good maps in the metro and there are three metros, yellow, red and blue all connecting at Deak Ter. once you get to know the city better, the tram is a nice way to go.just make sure you buy tickets (you can do so either at the offices at each metro stop or with coins for individual tickets at pay machines located at the tram and metro stops.

London - Budapest

by barryg23

We flew from London to Budapest with Sky Europe and made the return journey with Wizz Air. Both airlines operate out of Central/Eastern Europe and operate a similar low-cost fares model to Ryanair and Easyjet. Costs inclusing taxes were approximately approximately 80 pounds each way. There is not much to choose between the two airlines - maybe the larger seats in Wizz Air make it a better option - but both offer a very good service and I'd recommend both of them.

Volán

by Levente_D

Another very comfortable way for getting arround Hungary is using the extensive Bus network. You can literaly get everywhere with a bus within Hungary. The buses are operated by the regional Volán companies and they have realy nice, clean and comfortable busses. Oh, I almost forgot the most important part!!! Prices are not bad either!!!More info (just in Hungarian for the moment :-( ) at: Volán
