Getting around
HÉV trains
The green overground HÉV trains provide easy access to Budapest's suburbs, running at least four times an hour between 6.30am and 11pm. As far as tourists are concerned, the most useful line is the one from Batthyány tér (on the red metro line) out to Szentendre, which passes through Óbuda, Aquincum and Rómaifürdő. The other lines originate in Pest, with one running northeast from Örs vezér tere (also on the red metro line) to Gödölllő via the Formula One racing track at Mogyoród; another southwards from Boráros tér at the Pest end of Petőfi híd to Csepel; and the third from Közvagóhíd (bus #23 or #54 from Boráros tér) to Ráckeve.
