Combine a visit to Pest, including the Parliament and the riverfront, on one day, and Buda, including the castle and the viewing platforms, on another.
Start with accurate information
Save the address, ticket and map offline. Check the date, time, stop name and the transport operator’s latest announcements. You can plan your route on RedRay.
Allow plenty of time
Don’t plan transfer times that are too tight. Traffic, border controls, finding the right platform or queues can throw a spanner in the works. The guide on preparing for the next leg of your journey provides a useful reference.
Belongings and safety
Keep your documents, mobile phone, charger, water and essential medication with you. Label large items, and check the rules for non-standard luggage before you set off.
Final checks
The day before, check official sources, the weather and public transport. Also read about how to check the latest timetable.
