 | Eger Transportation | Tips 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
Popular Transportation | Other Transportation Tips | All Tips (10) Regular train service from the train station in Budapest who's name fails me, but right across the street from the Yellow Submarine Youth Hostel. The train takes a few hours, and you can do Eger as a day trip, but I wouldn't want to leave the cellars. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

The bus takes around an hour from Miskolc. No need to buy a ticket, pay the driver -- however, at peak times you can expect the buses to be crowded.
Buses run to and from Miskolc approximately every hour and a half.
Eger bus station is central, just behind the Basilica. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

You can get to almost every district of the town by bus. You can buy your ticket before travelling (84HUFs), or on the bus from the driver (105HUFs).This entitles you to make one trip. With ticket you must board the bus through the first door and than must punch your ticket. (Tickets can be bought at bus stations & at some newsstands.)

If you travel by car or bus from Budapest there are two highways: Highway 25 (Kerecsend-ozd), and Highway 24 (Gyongyos-Recsk-Eger). From the M3 Motorway you will cross Fuzesabony and Maklar, or on Highway 25 you will cross Kerecsend. Parking opportunities for buses. Eger is a very user-friendly town; all the main sites are within walking distance from the city center and street signs in Hungarian, German and English make things easy to find.

We had a bit of difficulty arranging transport to Eger. The evening before travelling we went out to Keleti station in the east of Budapest to try and book tickets or at least find out times. However, the info booth there was closed and the lady in the ticket office spoke no English. She sent us upstairs to another ticket office but the queue there was very long and moving slowly.
We tried another info booth but they covered hotels, not trains, so they sent us to yet another booth on the other side of the station. This, however, was also closed. There were timetables in hungarian but they looked rather complicated and very old. So we had wasted about an hour out here trying to find any information about getting to Eger. In the end we called the Tourist Information office in the city centre and finally we got the details we needed.
The express trains to Eger were leaving at times that didn't suit us so, instead we took the slow train to Fuzesabony, waited there for 40 minutes, and changed to an even slower train to Eger. The journey took about 2.5 hours and tickets cost 3068 for two returns. The journey was fairly dull as the landscape wasn't too exciting and we were moving so slowly.
We had no idea which station was Fuzesabony as from our carriage we couldn't see station names and many of the stations didn't seem to have names. Luckily we knew the approximate time of arrival in Fuzesabony and alighted at the correct place.
Eger station is about 10 minutes walk from the town centre though it took us a long time to find our hotel which was on the other side of town, almost in the suburbs. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
