Hi everyone,
is there anyone going by car from the Netherlands to (Amsterdam would be great) Ozora Festival? If that's a yes, do you have a seat left for me and my guitar?! You would be a hero!
Could you please clarify. Can it be used on Sundays? Because it is not quite clear from the text here bkv.hu/en/travel_cards/budap...
'workdays only' is referred to the card or to the boat services?
According to the site it is 'permanently closed'. But someone told me that it is reopened? I cannot find any information on that. Can someone living in Budapest confirm this? Or is it one of the 'counterfeits'?
We are 11 of a family flying to Budapest next July for a 10-day visit . Any suggested itineraries are highly appreciated . Thanks a lot .
Hi, I'm going to Budapest on friday next 14th June . Does anybody know of any bars/cafes for salsa dancing,please?

Can you cancel a train e-ticket purchased online through the Hungarian Mav-Start system, and receive a refund, if you are able to notify them before your trip? Can this be done online, or do you have to call the number and/or do this in person at the station? (if this is even possible) I tried to read the international travel regulations posted on the site, but they are hard to understand on this. Thanks.
Hi I am planning visit Budapest on the 11 to 13 June, Does anyone knows the situation of the flood and whether it is still ok to proceed with the trip. How affected are the areas, esp the near Budapest-Nyugati Railway Terminal area. Many Thanks in advance!
I am trying to book 2 places for my husband and I on sleeper car from Budapest to Brasov thru elvira.mav-start.hu/elvira.d... . We want to have own compartment for the two of us. There is an option for this as displayed on the booking site. However when we tick this option box , it says not available. We tried for all dates up to 3 months ahead. When we choose just sleeper car, we do get seats offered on 3 berth sleeper car. But that would mean my husband and I will be in separate compartment as the compartment will be gender specific. Does anyone knows how I can go about buying this online? If I have to buy this arrangement at the station, I am wondering why does MAV provide this option online

We will be arriving on a Viking river cruise trip and would like to know which train station is most convenient from the dock to the station. Keleti or Kelenfoe? We would likely consider using a taxi. Thank you in advance, Chuck
Hi Everyone,
I am actually a native Hungarian, but grew up in New Zealand, and since moving here, have only been back once.
I will be in Budapest for 5 days in August, with my husband, and for 2 of those days my best friend is joining me from NZ.
We want to do a 2 day see a bit of everything itinerary so I can give my friend a good feel of Budapest in the limited time they are there. Everything else thats missed, my husband and I will do in the remaining days.
I have been researching on suggested itineraries and what to see, and have made a rough plan, I would just like to know how logical the order I have chosen is.
Day 1.
Chain Bridge
Royal Palace
Matthias Church
Fisherman's Bastion
Vaci Utca
Jewish Quarter / Great Synagogue
Day 2
Heroes Square
City Park / Vajdahunyad Castle
Andrassy Ut
Opera House
St Stephens Basilica
Parliament
Somewhere on those two days we'd also like to visit the Grand Market Hall, although I am unsure how long we'd need there, and where it would best fit!
My husband and I will also do an evening river cruise on one of the other days.
What do the Budapest experts think of the way I have split the two days? is there anything missing? any suggestions on how to make it more logical?
Thanks heaps!
Hi Everyone,
I am wanting to do a day trip to include Esztergom, Visegrad, Szentendre, or maybe just two of those.
The day we have free to do this, 30 August, annoyingly is between seasons with the boat line that goes up there.
Their high season literally ends a few day earlier, and low season starts a few days later.
So not sure how to get up there.
I saw Viator offer a Day bus trip but the reviews on it have been pretty average, and quite expensive ($120NZD per person).
I am thinking of maybe train or buses? How difficult is it to fit 2 or 3 of these places in?
Is it better to just do Szentendre? Is there enough to see there to fill up a day?
Thanks heaps

I have a week of accommodation at Keszthely first week of december. I know that Lake Balaton is practically closed but is there any activities that we can do around Balaton or day trip from Balaton( excluding Budapest since we have another week in Budapest itself)? We like nature/scenery.
Hello to all, I'm planning a weekend in Siofok, we will arrive by car from budapest airport. My question is: is there the risk to find hevy traffic coming back on sunday 7 aug.? How long could it take? thank you for your suggestions! Marco
We're four adults flying in from Tel Aviv, although we may fly in through a connecting city. We have a place near Balaton (time share) for a week starting Sept 6 and are looking for suggestions on how to plan the trip. I thought of the following: a weekend in Budapest, drive out to Balaton, hang out for five days, next weekend in Vienna. That means flying in to Budapest, renting a car for a week with a different location drop off, flying out from Vienna, and two weekends B&Bs or hotels. I fear this may be too expensive, so I'm willing to compromise: skip Vienna or do a day trip to see it. But I'm not sure you can "see" even part of Vienna in one day, not to mention drive both ways in one day. Does it make sense to try to fly in to the Balaton through some city in Europe and skip Budapest and Vienna? Or fly directly to Budapest and drive to Balaton and then back? Yehuda
Hi can anyone give me any information about renting a villa in or close to Fenyves. I have looked on the internet but cannot find what I want, I was looking for something extra special with a pool etc which sleeps five. Any information would be wonderful. Thanks Julia
Hi We're taking our small caravan and staying on the edge of Lake Balaton in August Husband is an insulin diabetic + asthma - seems to be a lot of confusion over whether we need jabs for this tickborne encapahalitis - we're only staying 4 nights and will be sight seeing - OK the odd pampering for me at a spa! Can anyone please end the utter confusion over these blasted ticks - and is there anywhere that I can purchase a tick remover in the UK - only seems to be pretty crap ones on ebay. All info greatly received. Thanks Ladymarian
I'm thinking of going to the Balaton Sound festival in July, which is in Zamárdi, on the south shore of Lake Balaton. A friend's mum lives near the airport in Sármellék, to the west of the lake, I and was wondering how difficult it would be to travel from there to the festival each day. Are there local bus or train services and, if so, will they run late at night? Roughly how much would a taxi/mini bus be? I know I could camp but being under canvas in a possible 100 degree heat wouldn't be too fun and I also don't fancy my chances with the elephant-sized mosquitoes. Thanks in advance for any replies
we are going to live in the north balaton, in Gyenesdias, close to keszthely, we have purchased a home there, what is the period with more visitors? they say to me that is from the start of july to the end of august, is this correct ?? thanks for the advice.
Hello, Just wondering if anyone can help at all. We have booked flights to Balaton airport in July, but need to somehow make our way over to Novi Sad in Serbia for the Exit Festival. We have found a company that does bus transfers for £50 return but this seems a little steep. Besides, they need money upfront, which we aren't to keen to give them so early on! Thanks very much T
Hello, I am planning to travel to Zagreb using Ryanair to FlyBalaton Airport at Sarmallek. Does anyone have a clue how to get from there to Zagreb? Is there a shuttle bus? Thanks, ildaniele
Hi, we are travelling from budapest and spending a few days travelling down by the lake, does anyone know which town is nearest the airport? just so we know where to base ourselves the night before we have to fly home. thanks

What place (or town) do you recommend, where it is good to swim, rent a small boat, walk in some countryside (forest, nature)? Something interesting for kinder 7 years old? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone advise the easiest way to transfer from Budapest to Balaton? Would coach or train be better? Any idea of the cost of the transfer or where I can find train or coach timetables? Many thanks.
Hi, We are planning a trip to Hungary and Croatia in a couple of weeks. We won't have much time in Hungary so I'm trying to plan pretty specifically. I'm looking for a good place for a decently price wine tasting on the northwest end of Balaton, preferably somewhere near Szigliget. It would need to be something on Tuesday night, August 9th. Thanks for any ideas you have. Laurie
