The RED arrow is our street, Akácfa utca, District VII Budapest.

NOTE: Transport tickets are due to go up in January. This page will be edited to reflect the changes when we return.

Budapest Airports: There are two airports: Ferihegy Two (International and major airlines) and Ferihegy One (All budget airlines). How to reach us from the Ferihegy Two airport (the new airport). If you fly into the old airport, Ferihegy One, the directions are almost identical, but note that the train is from Ferihegy One only at this time.

We do not recommend the currency exchange at the airport. The rates are poor and there is a commission. We suggest you use the bank machine to withdraw what you need. In the city, there are many currency exchange places with much better rates and bank machines are everywhere.

Airport Train - It took over one year, but it is here now. Passengers can reach Ferihegy Terminal 1 from Nyugati Station in Budapest. On weekdays 51 trains (weekends, 38 trains) ease the traveling from the city center to the airport within less than half an hour for 300 Huf. There are 60 trains on weekdays and 45 at weekends from the airport to the city center. Directions from the train station to our place are below, so scroll down. There is no station to speak of at the airport, so stay alert or you may miss the stop. Be sure to buy a ticket at the station or at the airport (Ask TourInform).

From Ferihegy Two: Most major airlines

Airport Train: You can take the bus below to Ferihegy One and catch the train from there.

Airport shuttle: When you come through the sliding doors after Customs, there is a kiosk that states “Airport Shuttle”. It is immediately to your right. They will take you directly to our door. If they ask the district, it is the 7^th. The cost is 2,490 Huf one way about $16.30 US or 4,390 Huf about $28.50 US for a round trip ticket. After you purchase your ticket, they will have you wait for the shuttle to be filled and then they will call out the street name. You need to listen for Akácfa (“Ah-cots-fuh”) to be called out. If you are uncertain, ask them. They are used to it. Remember the address is Akácfa u. 18 fourth floor, apartment 24. The doorbell has ACES-Hungary on it.

Taxi: Note that the airport has worked hard at licensing 'authorized' taxis with set rates. The current contract is with Zóna Taxi. The fares shown on their zone charts are the maximum fares in forints, which Zóna will be allowed to charge in each zone for a journey. The journeys will also be metered, and if the meter shows a lower fare, then passengers will only pay the lower fare. If you want to use a different company, you must call them to arrange it. Every legal taxi must provide a paper receipt throughout the city, not just at the airport.

Budapest Public transportation: Ticket prices are subject to change, usually in January and July:
