Hungarian motorways and roads are in good condition. The motorway network is not as extensive as in other western countries, but the existing ones cover the key touristic routes. You will be able to get to almost any destination of touristic importance by using them, therefore you rarely need to worry about driving on other types of roads.

The speed limits are 130 km/h on motorways, 90 km/h outside cities and 50 km/h in cities. The speed is checked by fixed cameras and police cars, so our advice is not to drive faster, as you are almost guaranteed to get a fine.

Drivers must pay for using the motorways. The toll is about €6 for 4 days or €10 for 10 days. These prices are valid for cars and motorcycles, while bigger vehicles pay more. For some years, this vignette is electronic, meaning that your licence plate number is entered in the relevant database when you buy it. You don't need to stick anything on your windshield. This electronic vignette can be bought from gas stations or from some shops at the borders.

When choosing public transport, people travel around Hungary by train or by bus. Even if Hungary has 9 airports, it is uncommon for somebody to fly from one part of the country to another due to the short time of traveling on land.

The railways are in good condition, making your travel by train a fast and pleasant experience. Budapest is very well connected to other parts of the country. Other cities may not have direct connections between them, so you often need to travel to Budapest and change there. Tickets are relatively cheap, especially if you compare them with train costs in neighbouring countries. Since traveling by train is highly popular, some trains are very crowded, especially during weekends and holidays. Consider reserving a seat if you want the maximum amount of comfort, it is not expensive at all.
