is it difficult getting around budapest? ive read that taxis are expensive, and i cant find much info about how to get from the4 airport to the city. is it far?
fair way - i got a bus to the nearest train station and then took subway.about hour- hour and a half.
I was confused by your post Jordan as I recalled getting the train direct but the link below explains why.
Try googling ‘budapest airport to city centre’ it’s really not difficult. But to save you the effort…

It even has a nice lil video (that I think everyone should watch). Enjoy!
Budapest is expensive compared to the rest of Hungary (in the same way that London is considerably dearer than anywhere else in the UK), but I still don’t consider it an expensive place compared to home.
Great time to go if you’re heading off now, though. Get yourself to Bed Beach club out on the island; phenomenal place.
wow, just seen the pics looks brilliant. is it expensive in bed beach?

Last time I was there was last summer, and I didn’t think it was too bad; cheaper than London clubs anyway.
With the Forint at 360/£ now rather than 300/£ last year, should be even more reasonable. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a world-famous club, so you won’t be seeing £1 beers, but it’s not bank breaking.
Dress smart, too. They’re not afraid to turn tourists away if they think you “don’t fit the image” of the place.
I went to Budapest in Feb with my mum, it was incredibly easy to get around! You can get a pack of tickets for 3/5 days, it’s inexpensive and the only time anyone checks your ticket is the train, the tram they don’t bother :) x
Don’t get caught without a ticket on the tram.
I’ve seen tourists who don’t speak Hungarian get shafted by bored police looking for easy money.
They don’t check often, but I’ve seen it happen.
I rarely have a ticket, but I speak enough Hungarian to make any policeman realise I’m not the easiest of targets and look elsewhere.
Hungary is progressing as a country, but bribery is still rife. Not worth the risk for a few pence.
