Public Transport
This is a picture of the public transportation map in Budapest. Like any other city, tickets are available for purchase at any metro stop. I recommend buying the 10 trip package for a 3 day weekend for two people. It costs 3,000 HUF for a 10 journey ticket, which saves money in the long run since a single trip ticket is 350 HUF.
