City advice
Getting around
Highly recommend public transport
Budapest's public transportation is very convenient (especially since our apartment is right next to tram 4-6 line), you can use Google Map to help you get to most attractions within 10-20 mins.
There are a variety of Budapest travel cards or single ticket that you can purchase by cash/card at ticket vending machines at most stations.
