If you are traveling by car, start by heading towards Budapest. From Kiskunság, take the M5 motorway towards Budapest. Merge onto the M0 ring road, and follow the signs for M1/M7 towards the city center.

Once you reach the area, look for Vajdahunyad street and follow it until you reach the entrance of Vajdahunyad Castle. There is paid parking available nearby, so be prepared for parking fees which may range from HUF 300 to HUF 600 per hour.
Public Transportation
For those using public transportation, you can take a train from Kiskunság to Budapest. Board a train from Kiskunhalas or Kecskemét station towards Budapest Keleti Railway Station.
