How to Get Around Borsodnádasd
The easiest way to reach Borsodnádasd is by rail via Miskolc from Budapest, then a short regional train or bus. For flexibility and to reach rural spots, consider renting a car.
- Intercity trains (MÁV IC/Express) (HUF 1,800-4,000+) - Intercity trains connect Budapest with Miskolc in around 2-2.5 hours; these are the fastest rail link into the region. From Miskolc transfer to regional local trains for the last part of the journey.

- Taxi / private transfer (HUF 4,000-12,000+) - Taxis offer convenient transfers from Miskolc or the airport in Budapest for direct door-to-door travel - useful for early arrivals or luggage-heavy trips. Agree a price in advance or use a licensed company.
