Arrival in Budapest - transfer from the
airport
Budapest Ferihegy Airport - one of the newest in Europe - can easily be
reached from all capitals and major cities of the world by direct or
one-stop flights. Most flights to and from the United States arrive in the
mid afternoon and depart in the early morning.
Lower airfares for travelers may be available if you book a round-trip
airfare to a major European destination (eg. Frankfurt or London) and then
book a separate fare from that destination to Budapest. You may also want to
consult your travel agent to find the best fares or try travel websites like
expedia.com.
The simplest means of transportation to any place in Budapest is via
minibuses. This door-to-door Airport Minibus Service is reasonably priced
(one way ticket: HUF 2100, return ticket: HUF 3600). The minibus service is
located outside of customs area. Travelers will purchase a voucher and
proceed to the waiting area for your van to arrive. The wait is generally
10-20 minutes. Those who schedule round-trip transportation must call to
re-confirm their return trip at least 24 hours in advance of their flight.
Another way of getting to the city is by Tourist Taxi (approx. price is EUR
25 - 35 depending on the city zone).
Passport and visa
You will need a valid passport to enter Hungary. You are responsible for
arranging a visa if required. Invitation letters for visa purposes will be
issued for registered participants upon request.
IMPORTANT! Hungary, as is the case with most European countries, requires
that your passport be valid at least 90 days after you return to your
country of citizenship. Please contact your travel agent or local government
agency to be sure you have the proper travel documents.
Official Language
The official language of the Conference is English. No simultaneous
translation will be available.
Insurance
The Organizers of the Conference do not provide insurance and do not take
responsibility for any loss, accident or illness that might occur during the
Conference or in the course of travel to or from the meeting site. It is,
therefore, the responsibility of the participants to check their coverage
with their insurance provider.
Bank, Currency, Credit Cards
The unit of currency is the Hungarian Forint (HUF), denoted as “Ft” by the
Hungarians. International credit cards (AmEx, EC/MC, Visa) are accepted at
most hotels, restaurants and shops. ATMs are available at the Airport and
all over the city. (1 EUR is approx. 245 HUF)
Voltage
The electricity supply in Hungary is 220 V AC (50 Hz).
