Budapest Transport
If you’re celebrating a stag do in Budapest, then the good news is that this city has a great public transport network, with plenty of options for getting around.
Let's start with the city’s Metro. Budapest has a well-developed metro system with four lines that conveniently connect key parts of the city. Reliable and efficient, the Metro is an easy way to travel, especially if you're staying in central areas or planning to explore popular tourist hangouts like Heroes' Square or the famous Széchenyi Baths.
Next up, let’s talk trams. Budapest is well known for its iconic yellow trams that zip around the city. They’re a brilliant way to take in the sights while getting from A to B. Plus, it's a convenient option for larger stag groups, where you’ll be able to stick together.
Now, for some surface-level transportation, buses are readily available throughout Budapest. The bus network is extensive, covering both the city centre and the outskirts, making it easy for your stag crew to reach different areas of interest. Whether you’re using the Metro, trams or buses, travellers must be in possession of a valid ticket, pass or travelcard and you must ensure you validate your ticket before you board, or immediately after you’ve boarded, but before your transport departs. Tickets can be purchased at Ticket Vending Machines (TVM) using cash or card.
Finally, there’s taxis! Taxis are readily available in Budapest and can be hailed from designated taxi stands or booked through apps. They’re ideal if you prefer door-to-door service and want to reach your destination quickly.
With all these transport options at your disposal, moving around Budapest with your stag group shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Whether you choose the metro, trams, buses, or taxis, you'll be able to explore the city in a convenient and stress-free way.
