Getting to the venue

Arrival by plane

You can take a taxi or use the public transport. The airport is only served by Főtaxi, the price is HUF700 base price + HUF300/km, so its around HUF10,000 (~€32) to the venue.

If using public transport, take the following lines:

• Bus line 200E: Airport –> Nagyvárad tér (final stop)
• Metro line M3: Nagyvárad tér -> Dózsa György út (9 stops)
• Then walk to the venue, or use trolley line 75: Dózsa György út -> Dráva utca (1 stop)

Or, you can also use the bus line 100E to get to the city centre, the ticket is HUF900 (paid aboard), in this case:

• Bus line 100E: Airport -> Deák Ferenc tér (2 stops)
• Metro line M3: Deák Ferenc tér -> Dózsa György út (4 stops)
• Then walk to the venue, or use trolley line 75: Dózsa György út -> Dráva utca (1 stop)

Arrival by train

You may arrive at different stations, but most likely it will be Nyugati.

Arrival at Nyugati:

• Metro line M3: Nyugati pályaudvar -> Dózsa György út (2 stops)

Note: Tram lines 4 and 6 are currently under construction for the duration of the summer, currently replaced by buses 4/6 at temporary roadside bus stops. If traveling with luggage, it's probably best to consider another route due to high passenger traffic.
