Getting There & Around

How to Get to Puskás Aréna

Take Budapest Metro lines M2 (red) or M4 (green) to the Puskás Ferenc Stadion station - the station serves the arena directly and it’s only a short walk (roughly 200-400 m) from the stop to the stadium entrances. By car the arena sits off Dózsa György út / Hungária körút east of the city centre; from Deák Ferenc tér it’s about a 10-15 minute drive (around 3-5 km) with matchday parking and event traffic management in place.

Tips for Visiting Puskás Aréna

  • Use Budapest public transport: the stadium is served by the Puskás Ferenc Stadion metro stop (M2) and multiple trams/buses-public transport is usually faster than driving on match/event days.
  • Arrive 60-90 minutes before kick‑off to clear security and find your gate; turnstiles and queues peak in the 30 minutes before kick‑off.
  • Book stadium tours or special event tickets in advance-guides and the on‑site exhibition sell out on match weekends; day tours are quieter on weekday mornings when no events are scheduled.
