Budapest Day Trip FAQ
What transportation options are best for my day trip?
• Budapest day trips by train
Unique among the day trips being offered, you can reach Vienna via a direct high-speed train that offers scenic views from the window. Other day trips like Balatonfürd, Eger, Danube Bend, and Gödöllő can be reached via regional Hungarian trains before transferring to a local bus.• Budapest day trips by bus
Local buses can be used for day trips to Balatonfürd, Eger, Danube Bend, and Gödöllő, but it will be considerably slower travel experience. For a more exciting option, consider booking a hop-on hop-off bus tour or guided tour of the day trip destination.• Budapest day trips by car
In many cases, taking a car will be the fastest option for travel around Budapest. Go around at your own pace and take in all the stunning scenery Hungary has to offer.

What people are saying about Budapest
Great package! The hop-on hop-off bus stops at all major attractions. The language is better with the Big Bus (brown ones) than with the red ones (here it is a bit fast in German). For the boat trip you should be there 15-20 minutes in advance to get a seat. The city tour was interesting. But it's on a donation basis, so it's not included in the price.
Beautiful experience as a couple with my husband in a small group of 8 people. Congratulations then to our driver as well as guide Balazs really very nice, prepared and available for every need. A myth! Day Tour to try absolutely.
Beautiful city and really deserves several days but if you only have one day, we’ll worth the drive. Guide was a little too chatty and went off on random tangents but still provided good insights and history on the city.
Fantastic value for money and the view for New Year’s Eve was unbelievable. We’ll organised and good music
This was an amazing time experience and I 100 percent recommend
