Sightseeing in Budapest
The Budapest Card (Kártya) provides unlimited travel on public transport, free entry to 60 museums and discounts on everything from sightseeing tours to restaurant meals. Cards come in two or three day versions and include a decent pocket sized brochure containing maps of Buda, Pest and the metro system. For travelers using Budapest Airport’s minibus or car rental service, the card remains valid for an additional two days (you can also purchase the card at the minibus desk). Youngsters under 14 are automatically covered by adult cards. Widely available in hotels, museums and tourist information offices, ticket offices at larger metro stations also carry stocks.
