Other major airlines also serve Budapest, providing good connectivity. The airport is located approximately 16 km southeast of the city center and is easily accessible by taxi, airport shuttle buses, or public transport.

From Vienna Airport, you can rent a car and drive to Budapest in approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. Alternatively, there is a direct train service operated by Austria’s national carrier, ÖBB.

Bratislava (BTS)

Milan Rastislav Štefánik Airport in Bratislava is a well-equipped medium-sized airport serving flights from various European cities, including low-cost carriers like Ryanair.
