How to Get to Budaörs#
Budaörs lies immediately west of Budapest and is easiest to reach from Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport by a short combination of airport bus/metro or direct taxi. Suburban trains and regional buses offer quick links into Budapest’s Déli area.
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD): Budaörs is a short drive west of Budapest city centre. From the airport take bus 200E to Kőbánya-Kispest and the M3 metro, then transfer toward Déli pályaudvar or catch a taxi/ride-hail for a direct door-to-door trip. Expect total travel time of about 40-60 minutes to Budaörs; airport bus + metro tickets are inexpensive (single ticket approx. a few hundred HUF) while a taxi is typically €25-40 depending on traffic.
Smaller regional airfields: International flights land at BUD; there are no major commercial airports in Budaörs itself, so all air arrivals use Budapest’s airport.
Train: Budaörs has a MÁV station (Budaörs vasútállomás) on suburban routes toward Budapest Déli pályaudvar. Trains to Déli typically take about 10-20 minutes; tickets are inexpensive (suburban fares in the city region).
Bus: Local and regional Volánbusz buses serve Budaörs and connect it with Budapest and surrounding towns. Buses are frequent during the day; journeys into Budapest vary with traffic but are typically 20-40 minutes.
How to Get Around Budaörs#
For visitors the best options are suburban MÁV trains and regional Volánbusz services for cheap, quick links into Budapest; taxis are convenient for airport transfers or door-to-door travel.
- MÁV suburban train (Few hundred HUF (suburban fare)) - The Budaörs station is served by suburban MÁV trains running into Budapest Déli pályaudvar. Trains are fast (about 10-20 minutes to Déli) and convenient for commuters; buy tickets at the station or via the MAV app.
- Volánbusz / regional bus (Few hundred HUF-1,000 HUF (approx.)) - Local Volánbusz services connect Budaörs with Budapest and other towns in Pest County. Buses are frequent; allow extra time for peak-hour traffic on roads into the city.
- Airport transfer / bus 200E + metro (Bus/metro: a few hundred HUF; taxi: €25-40 (approx.)) - From BUD use bus 200E to Kőbánya-Kispest then metro M3 and local connections or change to a taxi for a faster door-to-door trip. Bus + metro is the cheapest option; taxis are quicker but cost more.
- Taxi / ride-hail (€10-40 depending on distance) - Taxis and ride-hail apps are widely available in Budapest and the suburbs; they are the easiest if you have heavy luggage or arrive late. Expect higher fares than public transport, especially from the airport.
