Accommodation
We use a selection of four and five-star hotels in central Budapest. To keep your weekend running smoothly, it’s best to choose your hotel based on how you plan to get to and from the circuit each day. That might be by private car, shuttle bus, train or helicopter. Continental Hotel Budapest If you're staying here, shared coach transfers to and from the Hungaroring are included. Coaches leave after breakfast (around 8am) and return at the end of the day’s track action. Mamaison Hotel Andrássy Budapest This hotel is a good choice for the City Shuttle, which departs from Heroes’ Square, about a 10-minute walk away. Exact details will be confirmed closer to the event. As a guide, the 2025 price was 20 EUR per person, one way. Payment is made on site by card or in cash. Aria Hotel Budapest Centrally located, this hotel works well if you prefer to get to the circuit by private car, taxi or helicopter. Circuit transfers
Shared coach transfers from the Continental Hotel Budapest to and from the Hungaroring Circuit are included at this hotel. The coach will leave early each morning and return at the end of each day's events. A shuttle bus service runs between Budapest’s Heroes’ Square and the Hungaroring during race weekend. 19-seater buses run every 20 minutes or less, depending on demand. In 2025, the one-way fare was 20 EUR, payable by card or cash on-site. Buses to the Hungaroring run from 09:00 to 13:00 on Friday and Saturday, and from 08:00 to 13:00 on Sunday. Return buses from the Hungaroring to Budapest start at 16:00 each day from Friday to Sunday. Final details will be confirmed closer to the event. Taxis. Each year the Hungaoring appoints an official taxi provider to get fans to and from the circuit over the race weekend. You can usually pre book your taxi to the circuit and the official operators will often have access to a VIP express lane to avoid the worst of the race day traffic. Return transfers by taxi are less streamlined and you can expect long queues as taxis are allocated on a first come first served basis. Trains to the Hungaroring do not operate from Budapest city centre so you’ll need to take the metro out of town and connect onto an overground train heading in the direction of the circuit. A shuttle bus then connects the train to the circuit. Helicopter transfers from downtown Budapest to the circuit (vv) are particularly good value and avoid all the traffic. A return transfer including taxi pickup and drop-off from your hotel is £650 per person. Flights to and from Budapest
Our Hungarian Grand Prix travel packages are based on economy class flights from Gatwick and Stansted. If you have an alternative airport preference or are traveling from elsewhere in the world, please let us know and we can provide a tailor-made quotation. Solo travellers & single room occupancy
If you're traveling alone or require single occupancy rooms, you'll need to factor this in. Single occupancy supplements will be determined by your choice of hotel and the duration of your trip. Just let us know which of the travel packages you are interested in, and we can calculate the additional cost for you. The only way to secure your trip and lock in the price quoted is to make a confirmed booking. Flights and accommodation and tickets are priced on live availability and may change without notice until secured.
It is not uncommon for prices to increase in line with availability and exchange rates so all trips will be repriced at the time of booking. Excited but have a few questions? Need a tailored quote to suit your travel requirements? We're here to help, so please don't hesitate to contact us.
