Timed Journeys And Short Trips Within Hungary

Timed Public Transport, Driving, Cycling And Walking Trips

Below you will find timed recordings of some public transport trips, driving journeys, cycling trips and tourist walks I have taken over the last year or so. Their routes and journey times were recorded to give you some idea of how far a main tourist attraction, landmark or city/town/village is in relation to a certain Hungarian starting point (i.e. train station or city centre).

Some examples: I recently travelled from Szeged to Budapest by car and later by train. I also timed certain tourist walks within Budapest, drove to certain government buildings and took public transport to them as well. I cycled around Budapest too. Here are some Journeys From Szeged.

I did these recordings so you have exact timings, correct directions and up-to-date information in terms of timetables, routes and website links. I did not want to put estimated times on this website because I know it is not nice when someone tells you a journey or distance is "ONLY 5 Minutes/Miles Away" when in reality it is 10-15 Minutes/Miles Away.
