Comments:
Transfer
I think that that the best way for airport transfer in Budapest are the minibuses and private transfer companies from Budapest airport to the city center. Taxis are very expensive and public transport takes very long. Who wants to spend time in a crowded bus or thousands of Forints after the Budapest flight?
