The Netherlands' capital city is compact making it easy to move around.

The airport features state of the art facilities, including security and an innovative luggage system. It is also the home of KLM and other SkyTeam airlines, bringing it to a total 108 air companies that fly to 322 destinations in the world. At its peak capacity, it can handle 106 arrivals and 110 departures. Schiphol is also capable of handling 58.2 million passengers in a year.

Taxis are the fastest and most convenient means of transportation from downtown Amsterdam to Schiphol if you are in a hurry to catch flights from Amsterdam to Budapest. Hotels may also be able to arrange for shuttles or transfers to the airport. If you board trains at the Central Railway Station, it is a mere 15-minute ride to the airport. Should you opt for public transportation, take bus number 197/Amsterdam Airport Express from the centre (Museumplein, Leidseplein or Rijksmuseum).

Its history is very much alive with museums that display treasures of an opulent past. Admire the splendid views on the Danube, soak up in one of the many hot springs or relax at spas that abound in the city. Afterwards, treat yourself to culinary feasts of local and regional dishes. In the evening, there is no shortage of things to do either because Budapest has a pulsating nightlife whether you want to join raucous crowds in bars or party with the hipsters at a club.

Budapest Airport is the gateway for passengers who wish to visit the country. To go downtown, use Fotaxi, the taxi company at the airport.
