Getting from Budapest Airport to the city centre
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) lies about 16 kilometres from the city centre, and all international flights are handled by Terminal 2. You have several ways of reaching the centre:
- 100E Airport Express — a direct bus from the airport to Kálvin tér and Deák Ferenc tér. The ride takes around 40 minutes and the line runs 24 hours a day. Note that ordinary city transport passes are not valid on this bus: you need a separate airport ticket (2,500 forints as of 2026).
- Bus 200E + metro line M3 — the cheaper option. The bus takes you to the Kőbánya-Kispest metro station, from where you continue into the centre by metro. A standard ticket is valid on this route.
- Taxi — the airport has an official taxi service. It is better to order your car at the stand outside the terminal or through an app than to accept a ride offered to you inside the arrivals hall.
How to get to Kutaisi Airport
David the Builder Kutaisi International Airport is located at Kopitnari, about 14 kilometres from the city. Shuttle buses timed to the flight schedule run to Kutaisi, Tbilisi and Batumi. Kopitnari railway station, where Tbilisi – Batumi trains stop, is a couple of kilometres from the terminal.
Because the Budapest flight is often scheduled for the early hours of the morning, plan your transport in advance and arrive at the airport at least two hours before departure.
What to know before you travel

- Passport: your passport should ideally be valid for at least three more months beyond the date you leave the Schengen area.
- Currency: Hungary does not use the euro — payments are made in Hungarian forints (HUF). Cards are accepted almost everywhere.
- Time difference: Hungary is two hours behind Georgia in summer and three hours behind in winter.
