Getting to Budapest and back in a day

No same-day return flight from the UK in the saved winter timetable yet.

Airport to the centre: Bus 100E, 40 min, 2,500 HUF.

Getting around: BKK 24h Budapest-travelcard 2,750 HUF.

How the day-or-night answer works: the latest flight home, minus 40 minutes back to the airport, minus 90 minutes at the airport. The 90 minutes is our assumption. Flight times are the saved winter timetable, not a booking.

Cost of the day, per person
