Flight
While traveling to and from Budapest is perhaps easiest through the Budapest International Airport (BUD), there are four main train stations that connect the city to its neighbors: Keleti, Nyugati, Déli, and Kelenföld. All of these options have quick and easy access into the city! If you're traveling through the BUD Airport, Főtaxi, the taxi company with the longest traditions in Hungary transports passengers between the terminals and Budapest. Reservations can be made in person at the Főtaxi booths located at the exits of Terminals 2A and 2B. At the taxi ranks in front of the stands, taxis are continuously waiting for passengers. A ride to the city center should typically cost around 10.000- 12.000 HUF, depending on traffic conditions.

Train
Budapest has excellent public transportation which is run by BKK (Budapest Közlekedési Központ/Budapest Transport Center). Four metro lines cover most of the city's downtown areas and serve parts of the suburbs as well. The tickets are the same whether you’re taking the metro, tram, or bus and you can purchase them from the ticket offices and purple ticket machines in the metro stations, or from the machines present at many of the tram stops. If you download the Budapest Go App, you can also purchase tickets online. Another option for tickets is getting a Budapest Card, which has options ranging from 24 to 120-hours. The card includes unlimited transportation in the given time period, entrances to certain museums and sites, discounts for a variety of things, and some other benefits. Prices for the Budapest card run from 12.900 HUF to 36.000 HUF depending on the card’s duration. https://www.budapestinfo.hu/en/budapest-card
Travel Note
Budapest doesn't have Uber, but you can download the "Bolt" app, which you can use to book licensed taxis in the same way you’d call an Uber. Other reputable taxi companies include City Taxi, Fő Taxi, and 666 Taxi. Some of these companies also have their own apps which you can download.
