Down the Danube corridor from Slovakia to the Hungarian capital in about two hours. South on the D2 to the border at Čunovo/Rajka, then the M15 and the M1 past Győr — from your Bratislava hotel or Bratislava Airport to your door in Budapest.
Drive from Bratislava to Budapest in about 2h 05m. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — from a Bratislava address or Bratislava Airport to your hotel in Buda or Pest, or to Budapest Airport if you fly on.
Pickup from your hotel, apartment or address in Bratislava, or from Bratislava Airport (BTS). From the centre the route crosses the Danube on the Most SNP bridge and follows the D1 and D2 south.
About 20 km out of Bratislava the D2 meets the Hungarian M15 at a Schengen-internal motorway crossing. Police checks or temporary border controls may occur; keep a passport or national ID card within reach.
A town close to where the M15 joins the M1 — an early break once you are across the border.
The M1 runs right by Győr. Its old town centre is the natural place for a longer break on the way to Budapest.
A town a short way off the M1 in the last part of the drive, before Tatabánya and the run into Budapest.
The M1 ends at Budaörs and the route enters Budapest on the Buda side. Drop-off at your hotel or address on either bank of the Danube, or at Budapest Airport (BUD) south-east of the city.
