Flights to Budapest — where from
Airports — Budapest
Ferihegy is the airport that serves Budapest and the main gateway into Hungary. It sits outside the city, and the usual ways into the centre are the public transport link, an airport shuttle or a taxi. If you land late, check the last connections before you fly, and remember that arrivals on Ryanair, EasyJet, Vueling, Air Serbia and Norwegian International are spread across the day, so your transfer options depend on your own landing time.
When to go
Budapest has four proper seasons: cold winters, warm summers and pleasant spring and autumn weeks in between. Late spring and early autumn usually bring milder weather and calmer fares, while the summer months are the busiest, with arrivals from Barcelona, Tenerife, Antalya and Athens peaking. The run-up to Christmas and the New Year fills the city too, so book those weeks well ahead.
