In the Hungarian capital there are several types of special transport. This is the cog railway, the Budapest funicular, as well as the children's railway.

Budapest metro cannot be called a landmark of the city - the stations are simple, without marble columns and crystal chandeliers. But this type of transport is convenient for moving around the Hungarian capital: tickets are inexpensive, there are bus, tram and trolley bus terminus near the stations, metro lines connect the stations. We offer mini-instructions on how to use the metro in the Hungarian capital.

The first trains leave at 4.30 in the morning, the last at 23.00. If you are in the center of Budapest and want to get to the airport for the first flight to Moscow with Wizz Air at 06:40, then you can easily use the metro, but you need to come to the first train. In the first and last hours of the subway, trains rarely run, every 10-15 minutes.

You can find out the schedule of each type of public transport at each stop / station and plan the route.

The road from the center, for example, from Deák Ferenc tér (Deerek Square Ferenc) to the final on the blue branch - Köbanya-Kishpest takes 15-17 minutes. The 200E bus is already waiting for the first passengers and arrives at the airport in 20-30 minutes.

Budapest metro map 2019

At the beginning of 2019, there are 4 subway lines - yellow (1), red (2), blue (3) (currently under reconstruction), green (4). The main part of the stations is in Pest.

You can buy a metro map of Budapest at the airport at the information desk or at kiosks with the letters BKK at stops, in stalls with newspapers. But you can not spend money on it - print from the Internet. Maps are also on the board at the entrance to each station, as in the Russian metro.

In new cars an electronic scoreboard with names is placed, stations are announced in Hungarian. Hungarian is hard to hear at first, then it’s easier to navigate through ads.

Fare: buy tickets profitably

It’s not necessary to think where and how to buy a ticket for the metro. Automatic machines are located at the airport, at railway stations, subway stations, and traffic intersections. There are also cash desks with a cashier, but there are more automatic machines. They accept cards and Hungarian cash.

In old ticket machines, there is not always a Russian-language interface, but in new ones you can select a menu in Russian. Vending machines sell any tickets except personalized tickets for a long period, as they are filled at the box office according to a personal document with a photograph.

The system of tickets allows you to save on trips around the city - the tickets are the same for any transport. The price of one is 350 forints (~ 80 rubles), if you buy it in a vending machine or at the box office, and 450 forints (~ 100 rubles) when buying from a driver in a bus, trolleybus. If you need to go only to the airport, then buy a special ticket with the option of transfer (Transfer Ticket) for 530 forints (~ 120 rubles).

It is profitable for tourists to purchase:

• 10 tickets in one block for 3,000 forints (~ 700 rubles);
• Travel ticket for 1 day for 1,650 forints (~ 380 rubles). When buying, choose the time of the beginning of the action and travel by any public transport without restrictions. A good ticket is also the fact that on weekdays it operates on river buses running along the Danube;
• A great option for a company or a large family is a group ticket for 24 hours. Five people can ride as many times as they like during the day for 3,300 forints (~ 760 rubles).

The cost of other types of tickets (travel for a week, a month, etc.) can be viewed.

How to use tickets

At the entrance to the Budapest metro, passengers compost only piece tickets, for this a paper ticket is inserted into the hole where it automatically breaks through.

It is not difficult to find validators in the metro - they are in the lobby or near the escalator. As for travel cards, they are simply shown to the driver or controller.

You can go past the composter, there are no turnstiles, but at the peak of attendance time, very attentive people in uniform are standing at the entrance, and at the exit from the metro almost 100% check the fare.

The Ministry of Transport of Budapest made a detailed video on how to compost correctly:

Pensioners from Hungary and the EU over 65 travel free of charge in transport, but older tourists from other countries buy tickets on a common basis.

The fine for the hare is 16,000 forints (almost 50 euros). When paying to the supervisor on the spot, the amount is reduced to 8,000 thousand, a receipt is issued.

When is the best time to buy?

A tourist card for 24, 48 or 72 hours with free travel and discounts on visiting attractions will pay off if you visit it in at least 3-4 museums, the Lukáč bath and take a walking tour with an English-speaking guide. Plus cards - together with the parent, one child with a Budapest Card gets free travel, discounts and benefits for children under 14 years old.

For those who prefer walking around the city, gatherings in restaurants, it’s cheaper to buy a metro ticket when necessary.

You can see the cost and buy a Budapest Card. I must say that this card is quite inexpensive compared to the same cards in other European capitals.

How to get to the main tourist sites by metro

About using metro there is a separate detailed article.

By metro Budapest, you can quickly get to the stations of the capital: on the red line - to the South (Déli) and East (Keleti), on the yellow - to the West.

The historic M1 line is laid under Andrássy út. Its length is less than 5 km, and the stations are located at a distance of 500 m from each other. It is better to walk along the avenue to Heroes' Square, there are many interesting shops along the way. Then you can relax in or go to the zoo - all these objects near the Secheni Furdo station. Varoshliget park and Vajdahunyad castle are also located there. After all this program, there will be no more walking forces on Andrássy; it’s convenient to return back by metro.

To get to the town of Szentendre, on the green branch you need to get to the final - Batthyány tér on the Buda side and transfer to the HEV train.

If you want to settle near the main attractions in the very center, then focus on the station Square Ferenc Deak.

A few facts about the Budapest metro

• The 1896 Földalatti line (now M1) is one of the first subways in Europe, older than the London Underground only;
• The length of all 4 branches is 131 km, the longest is blue, the train runs along it for 31 minutes:
• The 5th branch was planned in 2017, but has not yet been built.
