Getting there

Car

If you're traveling by car, head towards Budapest. From Central Hungary, take the M1 motorway towards Budapest, following signs for the city center. Once you enter Budapest, continue on the M1 until it merges into the M7. Follow signs to the city center (Belváros). Use the exit toward 'Kossuth Lajos tér' to reach the Parliament. Street parking is limited, so consider using a nearby parking garage, such as 'Kossuth Lajos tér Parkoló' for around 300 HUF per hour.

Train

For those using public transport, take a train from your location in Central Hungary to Budapest's main railway station, Keleti Pályaudvar. Once you arrive, transfer to the metro. Take Metro Line 2 (the red line) from Keleti to Deák Ferenc tér station. At Deák Ferenc tér, switch to Metro Line 3 (the blue line) and travel to Arany János utca station. From there, it's a short walk to the Parliament at Kossuth Lajos tér 8. The train fare varies but expect to pay around 1,000-2,000 HUF.

Bus

If you prefer to take a bus, use the intercity bus service from your town to Budapest, which often arrives at the Népliget Bus Station. From there, take Metro Line 3 (the blue line) to Deák Ferenc tér. Transfer to Metro Line 2 (the red line) and disembark at Kossuth Lajos tér station. The bus fare typically ranges from 1,500 to 3,000 HUF, depending on your departure city.

Tram

You can also take a tram route if you're near a tram stop. For instance, tram lines 2 and 4-6 run close to the Parliament area. If you’re near the Pest side, you can board tram line 2 at any stop along the Danube River. Ride until you reach the Kossuth Lajos tér stop, which is directly in front of the Parliament. A single tram ticket costs around 350 HUF.
