Travelling to the Hungaroring from Budapest

[Hitby]

We're off to Hungary tomorrow for the F1 weekend and I just wondered if anyone had any tips on travelling in to the circuit. Three of us are staying in an apartment in Budapest and I'm looking for the most sensible way to travel in and out each day. Preferably with the minimum of expense and trouble. It looks like it's going to be hot so we'll be lugging backpacks with water etc.

Thanks in advance!

We just got a taxi when I went a few years back. The price was fixed by the city and there was a massive taxi rank there full of them to get back out after the race, a bit of a queue but nothing crazy.

Thanks, we'll be heading in all four days (including the pit walk on Thursday) so although the taxi looks easiest, it'll be about £300 there and back which is a bit steep.

It looks like the train/buses drop you a 30-40 minute walk from the circuit as well which doesn't seem ideal if that's actually the case. Has anyone used them to get there previously that can confirm?

Thanks,

I've been to the F1 3 times. I always do the following

Taxi to the circuit. It's really quick and they have their own "Bernie Road" short cut to the main gate. Fixed price.

Coming back, the taxi rank is mayhem. I stay at the circuit for around an hour after the race having a final beer, then walk down the hill and get the free buses back into the city. They drop you off at a metro station, so easy to get back to anywhere in the city.

Enjoy the race! Make sure you are prepared for the heat. Plus there is little shade at the circuit.

My son and I went in 2014. Hired a small car for 5 days for about £100. Drove to the circuit and back every day. Only time traffic was significant was after the race on Sunday and it wasn't that bad then.

I am also staying in an apartment in Budapest with the family (arrived yesterday), I think our plan is bus there/back Fri, taxi there Saturday bus back, taxi there Sunday bus back. I was advised on a previous thread to use the official F1 Taxi's as they are authorised to skip lanes.

Hi Dan, just as a follow up to my last post I've just booked via 6x6 taxis using the phone number listed, was very easy with collection from our apartment on Sat/Sun. One way only each day.

Hope this helps.
Cheers

Sitting in Stansted airport now waiting for flight out, also staying in Budapest. There is a free bus for ticket holders that leaves from the Arpad bridge.
