    Urgent! We will be there on Friday - help needed!
    Aug 1, 2006, 6:21 PM

    Hi

    We are coming to Budapest for the F1, staying there from Friday to Monday. We have Friday and Monday to see Budpaest - I think we will spend most of Saturday and Sunday at Hungaroring. Questions:

    1. We want ot see the major sights using public transport, trams etc - my dads has trouble walking for a lot of time. Which buses-trams are the best for inner cit (e.g. Andrassy Utca) and Buda? We don't want to do one of those 3 hour bus tour , we prefer a hope on -off style tour, on our own pace.

    2. The free bus for Hungaroring takes you to Moyorod church square. How long do we have to walk to get to the ring and is it an easy walk?

    3. Is it easy to find taxis outside the ring after the F1 races? Or is it necesssary to book a taxi in advance?

    Thank you!!!

    Roman, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there is an ATM in the airport...maybe that's just because I have this intilled fear of the fees American ATMs charge in the airport, so I don't look for one, but my recommendation is to make sure you have cash to convert.

    There are more tours than the 10:00. I'm pretty sure they have at least two tours a day....the last time I was there, before summer tourist season, there were 3 or 4 tours per day in English. We took one in the afternoon.
