Flights to Budapest

A flight to Budapest from London takes around two hours and 25 minutes.

Budapest attracts most of its visitors in the warm summer months and during the festive season, when the Christmas markets take over the city. Look for flights outside of these periods if you're budget-conscious, and check out our low fare finder for prices during each month of the year.

Budapest is famous for its affordability. Food and drink is cheap compared to lots of other European cities and you can find great places to stay that suit a range of budgets, from apartments to hostel beds. And to save some Hungarian forints – the country’s official currency – while getting around, hop on the metro or a tram.

It's easy to get to Budapest's city centre from the airport. It takes between 30 to 60 minutes via bus or taxi, depending on the time of day you're travelling. You can also take a train from the nearby Ferihegy train station. It’s just a short bus ride away from the airport.

With its unique blend of history and culture, Budapest is one Europe’s most interesting cities. Built on hot springs, its thermal baths attract crowds from across the continent, seeking out the healing waters and luxurious spa treatments. The Jewish Quarter comes alive at night, home to buzzing bars and plenty of spots for foodies. And there are historical buildings in every corner of the city, including war relics and buildings dating back as far as the Medieval period.
