Advice on getting to Budapest and the best ways to get to the Hungaroring for the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix.
Please Note: The 2020 Hungarian Grand Prix on July 17-19 will be held behind closed doors and without spectators due to the coronavirus pandemic. This post will be updated with current travel information when dates are announced for the 2021 Hungarian Grand Prix. Budapest benefits from a convenient location in the heart of Central Europe. Whether you fly, take the train or drive yourself, it’s easy to get to the Hungarian Grand Prix in July. Budapest has a well-developed public transport network with an efficient three-line Metro serving most central parts of the of the city. Taxis are plentiful and new regulations have largely eliminated dishonest drivers. The Hungaroring circuit is 20km to the northwest of the center and can be reached fairly easily by train, bus or taxi. Please note that bus and train services changed their organization in 2019 – read carefully the new information below if you’ve used these services before and wish to use them again in future, as drop off and pick up points have changed.Flights to Budapest
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD), 16km South East of the city center, serves a range of European and long-haul flights. Hungary’s national flag carrying airline, Malev, collapsed under crippling debts in 2012, which reduced some of the long-haul destinations served from Budapest. More successful is the Hungarian budget airline, Wizz Air, which is based in Budapest and flies to a large number of European destinations and also further afield. Other budget carriers flying to Budapest from numerous European destinations include EasyJet, Ryanair, German Wings and Jet2. Major European flag carriers also regularly fly direct to Budapest including British Airways, Air France, Lufthansa, LOT, Turkish Airlines and Aeroflot. You could into Vienna or Bratislava if you want to see more of the region and potentially save a few Euros; both cities are just a few hours from Budapest.
Trains to Budapest
If you have a little more time and want to see some of the countryside, taking the train to Budapest is a great choice. The city is well connected to Europe’s extensive rail network and there are day and overnight trains available. Seat 61 is a great source of information on trains to Budapest. You can book online via the Hungarian rail company, Mav Start. Here’s some routes, journey times and one-way ticket prices: Vienna or Bratislava (3 hours), from €19 / Prague (6 hours), from €19 / Munich (7 hours) from €29 / Krakow (10 hours), from €49 in two-bed sleeper / Berlin (12 hours), from €39.
Buses to Budapest
On a budget? Regular buses connect Budapest with many Western, Central and Eastern Europe capitals, even as far afield as the UK. The main international bus station in Budapest (Népliget) is close to the city centre and on the Metro. Check out Eurolines or Orangeways for more information and to book tickets. Here’s some routes, journey times and one-way prices from Orangeways: Bratislava (2.5 hours), 4000 HUF (€13) / Vienna (3 hours), 3200 HUF (€11) / Prague or Krakow (6-7 hours), 6000 HUF (€20) / Berlin (12 hours), 9000 HUF (€30).
How to get to the Hungaroring
Depending on where you are staying and your chosen mode of transport, the 20km trip from Budapest to the Hungaroring will take you anywhere from 30-90 minutes. If a helicopter transfer is beyond your budget, then the next most effective way to get to the track is via taxi, which only takes 30 minutes but costs approximately €40 each way. Alternatively, if you don’t mind a trip which takes more like 60-90 minutes and involves a fair bit of walking, then you can take the free bus or the cheap train/shuttle bus option.Trains to the Hungaroring
Taking the metro/train to the Hungaroring will take anywhere from 60-90 minutes, depending on where you stay in the city. Follow these instructions.- Take the metro to the last station on the eastern end of the red metro line (M2), Örs vezér tere. If you are staying near a station on one of the other metro lines (M1 or M3), you will have to change for an eastern-bound M2 train at the main central interchange station, Deák Ferenc tér. It’s only 6 stops from Deák Ferenc tér to Örs vezér tere which should take around 15 minutes.
- Once you have reached the end of the M2 line at Örs vezér tere, exit the station and cross to the opposite corner of the intersection (via an underpass), where you will find a small suburban train stop. A ticket office is nearby and there is also a large shopping center (a good place to stock up on water and snacks). Trains only go in one direction from here, as it’s the end of the line – you need the train in the direction of Gödöllő. Tickets cost 250 HUF each way (less than €1) and trains run regularly on Grand Prix weekend. You can purchase your ticket before you get on the train or buy from the conductor after you have set off. Get off at the Kerepes HÉV station to use a free shuttle bus to Gate 3 at the Hungaroring. Be patient if you are using the train to get home on Sunday after the race; the trains can become very overcrowded at peak times.

Free Buses to the Hungaroring
The organizers put on free buses to the circuit from central Budapest on Grand Prix weekend. As long as you have a valid ticket for the race, you can take the bus. The buses now leave from the same place as trains (see above), Örs vezér tere, so you can take the metro there. The service is pretty orderly and hassle free for most of the weekend, but don’t be in a hurry to leave the circuit after the race. Stay a while to let the crowds die down. A timetable for the buses is available here.Taxis to the Hungaroring
Fares from the city to the circuit are no longer fixed, but the following guide prices are given: 38 EUR from the center (Deák Square) or 55 EUR from the airport. Use the official company or you run the risk of paying a lot more and spending longer in traffic, as only official taxis can use a special VIP access road – the total trip shouldn’t take longer than 30-40 minutes from central Budapest without significant traffic delays. There’s only one official Hungarian Grand Prix taxi company for 2019: 6 x 6 Taxi (+361 666 6666). They drop off and pick up at the Main Gate and Gate 6 (see map).Driving to the Hungaroring
The Hungaroring is located just off the M3 motorway which heads northeast out of Budapest. Don’t forget that you will need to buy a vignette to use the motorway; a weekly pass costs around €10 and can be purchased at service stations. There is a 0% blood alcohol limit for driving in Hungary – do not drink and drive. Access to the circuit is well signposted and the drive from central Budapest should only take around 20 minutes, but be ready for traffic delays, particularly when leaving the circuit on Saturday and Sunday. The roads around the circuit are narrow and were not designed to handle the volume of traffic the area experiences on Grand Prix weekend. Trackside parking is free for ticket holders. Check the attached map for circuit access roads and parking locations. Note: if you have purchased a minimum of 4 Super Gold tickets, then you are entitled to park in a special parking zone within the circuit, close to your grandstand.

Hello,
I have found on the internet that folding chairs are not allowed on the general admission site. Are there any other restrictions on what I can bring with me, like camera, food, drinks (including alcohol)?
regards
Czesc Lukasz, I am not 100% sure, but I think you should be ok bringing in folding chairs to the circuit. No problem with food and drinks, just don’t bring glass bottles. Here is the information from the circuit website:
No animals will be admitted to the venue or any car parks. The following articles must not be brought within the venue – knives, fireworks, smoke canisters, air-horns, flares, weapons, dangerous or hazardous items, laser devices, bottles, glass vessels and any article that might be used as a weapon and/or compromise public safety. Any person in possession of such items will be refused entry to the venue. Personal electronic devices, including still image cameras/mobile telephones/other handheld personal communication devices are permitted provided that any images/films/recordings/data that are created/recorded/stored thereon are used for personal/private/non-commercial use only.
https://hungaroring.hu/src/Hungaroring_F1_Guidebook_2018_WEB.pdf
Guidebook says no chairs!
OK thanks for the info
Where do you get a taxi to return back from the circuit? Do you have to pre book?
Hi Gary, there’s an official taxi stand near the Main gate (close to turn 1, Gate 8). You don’t have to pre-book, but you may have to wait a little longer at peak times, like right after the race. You should pay around 30-40 EUR to get back to the center after the race.
How long a wait should I expect for a taxi right after the race?
Hard to say really, but shouldn’t be longer than an hour. Don’t hold me to that as the crowds at Hungaroring have been getting bigger in recent years!
We went in 2018. It took us 45 minuets to get out of the circuit and had to queue for about 3 hours for a taxi!!
When we left the queue was still at least 2 hours long.
There were not coaches that we could see apart from organised trips.
Also get there early as the roads are gridlocked. Our taxi was diverted by the police to the opposite side of the circuit and we had a 40 minute walk to the main entrance.
Went to 2018 race, official taxis both times cost 80€ from centre and 92€ to. Quite expensive. However drink and food well below what I’d pay in Ireland.
hi.im taking my elderly father to hungaroring next year,which area is easiest to enter and exit. was looking at bronze 2. we will probably have a hire car.
many thanks
Hi Dave, there is parking between entry gates 2 and 3. Both of these are close to Bronze, so not much walking. Shouldn’t be a problem driving a hire car on Friday and Saturday, but I would recommend taking a taxi on race day.
cheers thank you
hi will bronze tickets give you access to general admission area aswell ?
Hi Dave, the answer is yes!
Hi Dave.
I have 2 Silver 1 tickets this year ( 2018 ). If I drive, do I get any specific places to park with these tickets or is it every person for themselves ?
You only get allocated parking with Super Gold tickets. Otherwise you need to just find a space, but it’s not too bad (be patient on Sunday, don’t be in a hurry to leave the circuit at the end of the day)
Do you think taking an 8pm train on the Sunday after the race from Budapest-Keleti train station is possible?
Should be fine for the train. I would say later for a flight, but you won’t have so much security etc on the train.
Do you think it’s possible to make a 9.45 PM flight after the race on a Sunday ? What with all the travel etc
Hi Peter, I think you will be ok. Definitely I don’t recommend flying before 8pm after a race, but I think you will have enough time to get to the airport in Budapest – even with delays leaving the circuit after the race.
Did you make your flight as we have booked flight at same time for this year.
Also any tips to help with return from track to airport VERY gratefully received
Hello
i just book my general admission tickets for Hungaroring!!!
any tips where to sit in Sunday for good view?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, lots of good places. I like the hill behind the final corner, where you can see a big section of the track. Check our Hungarian F1 Tickets post, more advice there.
I agree wholeheartedly. Silver Tribune 3 on the last corner gives you a view straight ahead down the whole of the start finish straight, the pits, and to your right the far straight coming down towards you and then right, left around the first hairpin and then right again back on to the main straight, plus a dirty great big TV screen dead ahead of you to see the rest of the circuit highlights. Better IMHO than the main “Gold” Granstand where you only see the cars coming past you in a straight line from right to left and gone. Only disadvantage is that the Silver doesn’t have a roof or awning, so pack a lightweight rain mac or cheap plastic poncho or similar.
Also pre-book your taxi from this year’s ONLY official company, 6×6 taxi – estimate 9 – 10,000 Huf, and if you are in the Silver 3 stand don’t walk all that way round, there are free shuttle buses from just by the main taxi car park round the circuit to Gate 6 just behind the stands. A godsend for my arthritic knees and the other half’s asthma. Suncream and a hat ESSENTIAl.
Enjoy !
Thanks for the update John!
So glad I found this page! We are bringing our kids to Hungaroring for our first ever Grand Prix this summer! Any tips and advice for making sure an 8 and 12 year old stay happy and don’t ruin our weekend!!! Also, is the pit walk on Thursday worthwhile? TIA
Hi Carla, maybe you want to check out the waterpark that’s right near the circuit. I’ve never been, but it’s always hot in Hungary on race weekend, so could be a good idea to spend a few hours away from the track. My experience with the pit walk was that there was too many people and it got pretty overcrowded, especially if you wanted to see drivers etc. Still worth doing, but you’ve been warned!
Thanks for the advice! Water park is definitely on the cards!!Getting excited!
Hello editor,
Thank you for the helpful website. We are deciding whether to buy General Admission tickets for 3 kids – 10, 8 and 5 for the Hungary GP. Do you think they will see much in GA? Also, is running on track at end of race permitted? If yes, does this also apply to GA? Thanks! Carla
Hi Carla, I’d say general admission is the best place for your kids. Lots of room to walk around, elevated grassed areas with good areas of the circuit. I watched Daniel Ricciardo win in 2014 from the GA area at the Hungaroring, great views and great memories. And you can go on the circuit at the end of the race from the General Admission areas!
Hi, good evening,
A question on how to get to the Hungaroring. Is it possible to go there by bike?
Thanks!
Irma
I guess, depending on where you come from! It’s about 20km from the center of Budapest to the Hungaroring, and there are some hills. There shouldn’t be any restrictions about cycling to the track, but I’m not sure where you can safely park your bicycle.
I noticed in the Thursday pit walk information on the web site that:
“For those sporty supporters arriving by bicycle, a bicycle parking lot has been put in place at the lower parking lot in front of the main entrance.”
It would not surprise me if that option was also available for the rest of the weekend (or if other places to put a bike are available later in the weekend), but as I’ve never used it, you should probably ask someone who knows more about these things than me.
Hello
If I purchase a travel card is it valid for travel to hungoring?
Only for Metro and city buses. To take the train to the Hungaroring from Örs vezé, you need a separate ticket.
The website for the Budapest Card says it includes free HEV (suburban train) travel to the Grand Prix.
https://www.budapestinfo.hu/use-your-budapest-card-and-travel-free-of-charge-to-the-hungarian-formula-1-grand-prix
Thanks, good to know!
That’s the Budapest card, which is more expensive but includes free entry to museums. I don’t believe that the normal travel pass includes the HEV trains, only the buses and metro in the city (unless anyone knows differently?),
Dears.
I have to be at the airport @19:00 of the race day to reach my flight… What is your recommendation so as not to miss it? ( I plan to rent a car upon my arrival to the airport)
I would leave your car at the hotel on Sunday. Get a taxi after the race from the circuit back to Budapest, then drive to the airport. Taxis are quicker to leave the circuit, as they use a special road.
Hi,
First time on Grand Prix and I have Bronze 1 ticket. Is gate 2 (which is near one to Bronze 1 stand) easily reachable from main gate (since probably my transport will stop here), how much “walk” is needed from main gate to gate 2?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
How long do you estimate is the exit time (in Hours) by car after the race on Sunday, if we park in the area of the Bronze zone ?
Thanks.
If you leave at the peak time right after the race, it could be 2 hours or more
Hello
I have 2 super gold tickets for the weekend. I also have a disabled card. Where can i park best. I see gates 6 or 7??
Greetings
Hans
Hi Hans, I suggest you contact the circuit. I believe you will be able to use parking right next to La Source if you have a disabled pass.
Hello Andrew, I am so glad i found your website. This will be the first time for me to experience F1 in Hungary. What time should i arrive on the race day to get myself a good seat for general admission? Thanks million.
There is still plenty of room in General Admission, but for a good spot I would say by around 9 or 10am if possible.
Hello! I’m looking at the various ways of getting to the Hungaroring this weekend. I saw your link about the free buses but the Hungaroring timetable page doesn’t seem to show that specific bus stop you mentioned. So I just wanted to check it hadn’t changed?
Thanks in advance
On the internet site https://www.hungaroinfo.com/formel1/terms_en.htm I can read the following;
FREE OF CHARGE BUS TRANSFER (27–29 JULY 2018) Hungaroring Sport Plc provides all passengers bearing a valid Formula 1 ticket with the following bus services, free of charge: Budapest, Árpád bridge, Bus Station – Mogyoród center Mogyoród center – Budapest, Árpád bridge, Bus Station Mogyoród, Local railway station (HÉV) – Mogyoród center Mogyoród center – Mogyoród, Local railway station (HÉV) FOR THE TIMETABLE PLEASE VISIT THE WEBSITE http://WWW.HUNGARORING.HU IN JULY.
Can you explane to me where I can find the timetable of the free of charge bus, I can’t find it on the site https://hungaroring.hu .
Thank you!
You can find it here: https://hungaroring.hu/en/events/formula-1/public-bus-transfers
Hello! I have a ticket Bronze and I think to go by car, until what time is it possible to find free parking on Sunday morning?
Thanks
Try and leave as early as possible. There should still be free spaces, but get there before 9am if possible to beat the traffic.
For those who have never been to Hungaroring before…. some tips and warnings….
1. If you are at the circuit before the gates open, you will be given a limited number free pass to the pre-paddock entry area behind the pits. This is well worth it for meeting/seeing drivers, pundits etc on each day. Fri & Sat are best.
2. It is blisteringly hot and this year is no different. All usual warnings apply.
3. Do not be misled about transport getting to/from the circuit on Fri & Sat. You have been warned…. leading to….
4. Hungaroring is, in my experience, one of the most chaotic circuits to leave on race day. Do not be fooled by the ‘bus’ and ‘train’ schedules. It is an absolute free for all, with hundreds of people attempting to board. The taxi service descends into near chaos on Sunday. The easiest way of getting round the inevitable 2 hours queues is to pair up with another 2 or 3 ppl if you are going back into Budapest. There is a queue for couples/3 ppl, but, there is also a Q for groups i.e. 4 and over. This is MUCH shorter and highly advisable. Last year we saw a number of people with heat exhaustion outside the circuit. Again – you have been warned.
Hope this helps folk with their first trips to the Hungaroring.
Vic
Thanks a lot Vic!
Hi Vic
In what gate do they hand out these passes?
What should i look for
Hi, trying to get to the Hungororing today for the pit walk. There are no buses from Arpad bus station even though all the info points us there.
Getting worried now as to getting to the circuit tomorrow Friday for free practice – please can you give any help as starting to get desperate and cannot walk much further!!!
Hi Kat, sorry but the station where the free buses leave from has changed this year. It’s now Stadion autóbusz-pályaudvar. More details and timetable is here.
Hi, we have bought four supercgold tickets for all three racingdays. Do you know where and if we can use special parkingplaces and how to find it.
Hello Hanna, please check the map here (the yellow VIP parking). You should be able to use the spaces, but I don’t know if you are supposed to have a special permit or you just show your tickets.
Is the VIP lane reversed after the race? Ie if I have a VIP parking pass can I use a VIP lane after the race?
Hi, thanks for the helpful tips above. Unfortunately I am unable to make it to the race, but will be in Budapest next week so may attend the testing on Tuesday or Wednesday (31st July/1st August). Is it necessary to buy a ticket in advance, or can you just buy one from the gate on the day? The website for buying tickets (http://www.gpticketshop.hu/HIVATALOS_FIA_F1_TESZT.html) does not appear to be secure. I notice race ticket holders get free admission (which doesn’t apply to me, but may help others!)
I guess the travel advice above still applies (though I assume the special Hungaroring train stop or free bus aren’t options for the testing?). Would appreciate any advice. Many thanks.
Can i get a good view from general admission behind silver 2 tribines?
And will i get a good spot if i go there at like 9.00
Important update! There is a free shuttle now from mogyorod station (H8 Line) to a bus stop nearer to the track. You no Longer need to walk 40 mins (which is actually more like an hour). I learnt this the Hard way. We walked about 1.6km from the train station to the coop Super market and decided to take Taxify due to being not sure if we are walking in the right direction. Furthermore we didn’t have any crowd to follow. Weather was coming in to add to that. Google maps was showing a totally different route.
I wonder if the shuttle is still running from Mogyorod this year 2019? And is the 40 min walk through streets or over fields?
Thanks
Darren, there is no shuttle from Mogyorod this year. If you are taking the train, you get off at Kerepes HÉV station and take the shuttle bus from there to Gate 3. I haven’t walked from Mogyorod, but I think it’s mainly paths and paved.
Hi Andrew,
first of all – it was great to meet you during the paddock visit and pitlane walk as a part of F1 Experiences package on Friday evening :) Greetings from my dad as well!
To add my 2 cents to the discussion, I can recommend staying at Aquaworld Ramada hotel in Dunakeszi district, which is located less than 10 kms from Hungaroring and is well-accessible from the racetrack with M3 and M0 motorways. Apart from great location, the hotel features lot of pools and leisure facilities to cool down after a hot day at the track – which you can be sure of during July in Hungary ;) It is a 4* venue, but you can get a decent price if booked in advance for three-night stay – we paid 200 Euro per night, for double room with breakfast and buffet dinner included.
Best,
Pawel
Great to meet you and your father Pawel, and thanks for the hotel tip!
which is the best way to book tickets because i dont know if unoficcial sites are safe option
Official Ticket Agent for Hungarian GP is GPTicketshop.com. We work with Gootickets.com and they are also legitimate, as well as Tickets.F1.com, but the latter have higher prices.
Her this is a great page and forum I have two questions:
1. What is the best way to get to the circuit regarding hours of waiting? the train or the free bus? I have a Three corner silver one ticket!
2. Is it true that on Thursday we can have a pit walk on the circuit with those tickets?
I’d say the train is better for leaving at the end of the race, less queues than bus. But better than both is taxi, if you can afford to pay a bit more. Yes, there is a pit lane walk on Thursday. More info in Trackside.
Hello
will be traveling a long way from Mauritius and already booked for General admission. Read all the reviews….i’m expecting it to be chaotic at the end. Will be accompanied with my son 9 yrs. any best time to get there on race day? Will be staying in city centre and hope the free shuttle really works.
Roopesh
I think the biggest thing to prepare for in Hungary is the heat! Take sunscreen, wear hats etc. Try and get there as early as possible if you want to reserve a good place to watch the action, but it’s not the end of the world if you don’t make it early. You should still be able to see the action!
I’ll be arriving in Budapest on race day staying near city center. Sitting in Section 2 stands. Hope to be on my way to the track by noon. Is it difficult to get a taxi race day or do I need to schedule in advance? Thought about taking public transportation but am worried about long lines, traffic, etc. and getting to the track in time. Do the taxi’s drop you off at the main gate or is a long walk required?
Hi Pete, it should be easy to get a taxi to the track around noon on race day – if you use one of the recommended companies, they can take a special VIP lane for quicker entry. They drop you off near Turn 1.
Hi
Can you take food & drink (not glass bottles) into the track? Any “must-dos” – this is a special birthday present to my hubby frm me so want to make the most of it. thanks
Yes, you can take food and drink in, but not glass. Must dos? If you mean in Budapest, I’d suggest a dinner cruise on the Danube. As for the track, just make sure you get out and explore different parts – very good spectating. Which tickets do you have?
Hi,
Treating my Dad and two sons (5&8) to their first F1 venue Thu – Sun. We are taking a camper van with us. Is it good idea to take bikes to get around possibly to explore the city as well?
Any other suggestions, must do’s and what to avoid?
Many thanks!!
I’m not sure taking bikes will be worth it. The circuit is some distance from the city and there, it’s better to get around walking and using the metro, in my opinion. You’ll have fun at the camping – but try to keep your boys away from the strippers in the camping area. This is still a thing in Hungary, believe it or not. Take lots of hats and sunscreen, it’s always a hot race!
Hi,
Can you pre book a taxi for after the race or is it just a queueing system?
Thanks for the help in advance. :)
I’m not sure, but you should definitely try as the post-race queue can be really long. Organize a place to meet your driver – somewhere away from the main gate – and you should be fine.
Hi, great info. Looking forward to this, 1st F1 experience with my 14yr old daughter. I will be doing the pit walk on Thursday. Going to get the taxi there but which train gets me back to Kalvin ter Budapest please and where do you get a taxi from? Thanks
Hi Darren, you’ll have a great time with your daughter. Taxis leave from just near the Main entrance at the circuit, close to Turn 1. There are free buses to get you to the trains, or you can just take the bus all the way to Budapest, where it connects with the metro.
Thanks, so I can get a free bus to Mogyorod H8 line?
Free buses don’t operate on Thursday. The Friday to Sunday service has changed this year, info is here: https://hungaroring.hu/en/events/formula-1
Hy .. i will go to Hungaroring next week ,but the question is booked 2 tickets Super gold Premium and i seen only if i have atleast 4 this kind of tickets i can have VIP parking .. i tried to booked seperated this days this VIP tickets because we plan to go with our own car but everything was sold out .. can you recomand us, in case you know, wich is the best area to par in a normal parking place, closest to the stand where we have the tickets? Thanks for answer :)
Hi Alexandryu, there are other parking areas at the top of the circuit, behind the Super Gold one that are free. It will get busier as the weekend progresses. Don’t be in a hurry to leave after the race on Sunday!
Hi Andrew. It is my first time to see a Grand Prix weekend live and I have been lucky enough through a friend to get hold of VIP passes. I am not sure if these allow me to sit anywhere (I assume not), but it only states that there is no entry to the pit lane and starting grid. As I am a little bit a fish out of water here, any tips (i.e. must-do’s, where to sit etc.) to make sure I get the most out of the experience (including what further access to opportunities such tickets may give me, which for sure will be at least to the paddock)!
Many thanks
Bryan
Hi Bryan, you can get into the Paddock with a VIP pass. So you are lucky! You can see the drivers and teams working. You can also go on the pit lane walk for the Paddock Club, normally around lunch time. After the race, you should also be able to get to see the podium up close – not sure where you can enter, but ask around. Maybe see you around – I’m running Paddock Tours for F1 Experiences this weekend. Look out for me in the F1 Experiences outfit. Don’t forget you can also go across the bridge to the Fan Zone to check that out.
Hi, can anyone recommend companies to book helicopter transfers for the Hungarian GP please? Thanks
Hi Grace, the recommended helicopter transfer companies for the Hungarian Grand Prix are listed in this blog post.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your constructive suggestions and opinions.
I am not an F1 fan, but my son and husband are crazy about it. Just booked F1 Hungary 2020 Gold 4 tickets for them as Christmas gifts. I hope they will love them.
More homework to do when the day is approaching.
Thank you
Hi Andrew,
Is there any difference if I buy the ticket on the F1 or Hungaring website?
The prices are quite good at hungaroring.hu.
Thanks in advance!
Better to buy with the circuit direct as F1 Tickets adds a mark up of around 10%. Even better, buy with our supplier and support our website!
Hello,
I bought tickets for Hungaroring F1 this summer.
I read here that there are free buses from Budapest to Hungaroring.
Where can i get more info about this? Life timetable, where to pick the bus etc.
Thank you,
Anda
More info in this post. The information for 2020 won’t be available till around 1-2 months before the race
Hi – myself and two friends are planning on driving to the GP this year from the UK. Is driving to the circuit sensible? We will be staying in Budapest itself – I read somewhere about a VIP lane on the motorway?
Thanks, we are super excited!
Driving to the circuit is easier on Thursday and Friday, but traffic gets a lot worse on the weekend. The VIP lane is the best way in, but this is reserved for official taxis and other VIPs. You’ll have to use the regular roads, which get very congested. Consider taking a taxi on the weekend is my advice
Is it possible to visit the circuit outside an F1 race?
Normally during the day if so how much does it cost?
Hi Ricky, yes it’s normally possible to do a tour of the Hungaroring, though of course COVID restrictions mean it’s probably not possible right now. Tours cost around 9 EUR per adult. More information under the “Guided Tours” tab on our new site: https://gpdestinations.com/hungaroring/
