🏆 Sento Golden Tip The 100E Airport Express bus (900 HUF, about £3) is the standout option — express route, no changes, drops you right in the city centre. If you're staying in the Buda hills or away from the metro line, a pre-booked private transfer is more convenient. Beware unlicensed taxi touts at the airport.
