      Local Information - Settling In And Getting Around

      There is a wide choice of holiday accommodation available in Budapest, with hostels available for roughly 2500 HUF a night, and three star hotels for 6000 HUF. Taxis are much cheaper than in London, so holidaymakers laden down with heavy luggage may wish to use this method to travel from the airport to their accommodation. Alternatively, an airport transfer is available using the express train to Nyugati Railway Station, which takes about 35 minutes and costs about 620 HUF. Bus 200E takes around 50 minutes for 450 HUF. 

      Otherwise, getting around is simple and cost effective, with a single ticket on the bus costing about 450 HUF or 1650 HUF for a day travel card. It's also worth investing in a Budapest Card, which offers 24 hours of travel as well as discounts in some major museums for 4500 HUF. Alternatively, Budapest is a fantastic city to explore by bike - rentals are available for about 1800 for half a day. A top tip is to not devote too much time to Váci Street. The city's main tourist trap, the street is worth a visit, but a more authentic Hungarian experience is better had elsewhere in the city, and will likely cost a lot less.
