From here take the metro to DEÁK TÉR... (see below from DEÁK TÉR)

If you are coming from any of the main train stations (KELETI, NYUGATI, DELI) or International Bus Station (Orangeways-Nepliget station) )take the metro to the central metro station DEÁK TÉR... Go above ground to the Erzsébet tér (little green park, front of the Hotel Le Meridien and Hotel Kempinski).

Standing on the corner Deak tér and Erzsébet tér, facing the church tower of St Stephen's Basilika walk left and straight diagonally across the park Erzsébet tér. You will see a crossing on the corner József Attila út and OKTOBER 6. utca. Go straight onto Oktober 6. utca.
