Transportation
Bus 100E is a direct bus line connecting the airport with the city center (more information). For the invited speakers: for your hotels, the best is to get off at Astoria when you arrive. Please notice that when you leave, the bus stops only at Deák Ferenc tér and Kálvin tér.
Please notice that the only official taxi company at the airport is Főtaxi. You can find information ordering a taxi at the airport here. We suggest you not to accept any offers from the unofficial taxi drivers inside the terminal, but to order a taxi from Főtaxi at their information point, which is in front of the terminal, outside.
There is a shuttle service called Airport Shuttle. The Airport shuttle picks you up together with 4-5 other passengers and takes you to the given address, but you may not be the first to get to your destination. You may buy your minibus ticket at the counter in the arrival hall (ATM's and exchange bureaus are available at the airport) or online.
