Free public transport

Budapest, like most capitals, is quite big and not walking around might not be the most convenient form of transportation. But there is nothing to worry about! The capital can also be easily explored by public transport, which is the fastest and cheapest way to get around in the city. Budapest has one of the richest public transport systems in Europe. No wonder, because due to the topography of the city and the proximity of the Danube, the transportation has to vary depending on which part of the city you are in.

Anyone with the Budapest Card can travel without restrictions and free of charge within the city limits on more than 200 buses, 32 trams, 15 trolleys and 4 metro lines. HÉV, which is a suburban railway line, and boats make it easier for visitors to get from A to B, and with the card the cogwheel railway can be used as well, which takes you to the Buda hills for free.
