Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD)

About Budapest Airport

Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (IATA code BUD) is the main international airport of Hungary and serves the capital, Budapest. Named after the composer Franz (Ferenc) Liszt, it is located south-east of the city centre, on the Pest side of the Danube.

The airport handles a wide mix of traditional and low-cost airlines and is an important base for Wizz Air. Passenger flights use Terminal 2, which is divided into areas 2A and 2B. Budapest is a popular choice for city breaks thanks to its thermal baths, Danube views and architecture, and the airport is a convenient entry point to Central Europe.

Getting to the city centre

The most common ways into the city:

• 100E airport express bus — runs from the terminal to Deák Ferenc tér in central Budapest; it requires its own special ticket.
• Bus to the metro — city bus 200E connects the airport with the M3 metro line.
• Taxi — use the official airport taxi service from the rank outside arrivals.

Ticket rules and routes may change, so check the official airport website or Budapest public transport before you travel.

Practical tips

A few simple habits make the airport part of your trip much smoother:

• Use online check-in where available and keep your boarding pass on your phone or printed.
• Confirm the terminal on your ticket shortly before departure, as airlines occasionally change terminals.
• Keep liquids, chargers and documents easy to reach to speed up the security check.
• If you fly with a low-cost airline, check its cabin bag size rules and online check-in deadline before you come to the airport.
