The card provides access to a set of services designed for tourists visiting Budapest. An official product of the city, it enables the holder to use reliable, selected tourism services free of charge or at a reduced price, including the free and unlimited use of the public transport system, free entry to museums and baths, and reduced-price catering and cultural services.

There are three cards to match the length of your stay, at the following prices:

72 h Budapest Card: 9900 Ft

48 h Budapest Card: 7900 Ft

24 h Budapest Card: 4900 Ft

Validity

 The validity of the card is indicated on the completed date field on the back of the card, and by way of the NFC chip in the card, which is activated when the card is first used, and shall be active for 24, 48 or 72 hours from that time.
