If you are in Budapest as a tourist you definitely can’t avoid using the Budapest public transport. Of course you can go by taxi all the time, but it will be wasting money for you. So we recommend to use the fast Budapest public transport. Believe it or not the public transport is the fastest way to reach the best places in Budapest. If you do so, then you don’t have to wait in traffic jams, which are really frequent in Budapest especially during the summer times. The ticket is very cheap and you can easily buy a daily ticket as well if you spend here only one day and you would like explore as many famous places as you can.
During the summer time there could be some reconstructions, so always check BKK website before your travel. You can easily plan your journey with BKK, Google Maps or with other mobile apps, which will show you the fastest way. Still, if you meet with some reconstruction work BKK always offer you replacement buses which are also great and fast. If you have a chance we recommend to choose one of the four metro lines because these are the best options for traveling in the city.
