Coach / Cars

Volán runs yellow buses between cities and towns, and yellow-and-red long-distance buses to far-flung smaller communities. It offers regular transport services to about 18 European countries

Air

Malév Hungarian Airlines, the national carrier, flies directly from Budapest to the USA and more than 30 European countries.

Train

Hungary is connected to all its seven neighbours by road and rail. Magyar Államvasutak (MÁV) offers express rail services that run as far as London, Stockholm, St Petersburg, Istanbul and Rome. They also offer some delightful excursions, like the nostalgic steam-train trip around Lake Balaton in summer, and there are a number of narrow-gauge trains, operated by United Forest Railways, that run in wooded and hilly areas.

Boat

Ferries operate on Lake Balaton, on the Danube - between Budapest and Esztergom - and the Tisza rivers, but they are more warm-weather pleasure-vessels than means of transport
