Budapest Guide
Arrival
Other than the airport, all points of arrival are fairly central; most are within walking distance or just a few stops by metro from downtown Pest. There are accommodation-booking services at the airport and the Keleti train station.
Budapest's excellent public transport system ensures that few parts of the city are more than thirty-minutes' journey from the centre; many places can be reached in half that time. The city's three metro lines and three main roads meet at the major junction of Deák tér in Pest, making this the main transport hub of the city (a transport map appears at the back of this book).
