Tips for parking in Budapest for foreigner?
Posted by lightwavel@reddit | askhungary | View on Reddit | 11 comments
Hello everyone. In 3 weeks I plan on visiting Budapest for the (a bit extended) weekend (Thursay to Monday). I am staying relatively close to Puskas Arena and in the apartment where I'm staying, parking is not included. The owner told me, in few words, there are public parking spots, rate is 600 HUF, on weekends its free.
Honestly, not what I expected, so I'm hoping you could give me more clarifications:
-
600 HUF, around 1.5 euro, would get to about 50 euros for 2 day parking, and not even sure whether it is even possible for me to take one spot and pay for it like this for two days. Are there maybe better alternatives to this? Is there a way to pay for the 1 or 2 day ticket fully?
-
Are there some "guarded" alternatives, meaning, not to leave the car right on the street somewhere? I'd prefer somewhere more safe, like in some garage, and/or with camera survaillance. Is that possible?
-
Any other tips you might have for me regarding this.
P.S. If you have any suggestions as to what might be interesting to visit (to sightsee, try food/drinks etc.) I am also open to that. Have about 1.5 day-ish time of unplanned activities.
Looking forward to visiting your country!

There's free parking at the Tesco nearby.

I have no idea how full it is, but it very close to Puskás:

You don't need a car in Budapest for a long weekend. if you do you can rent one (greengo for example)

In that part of the town it's either 300 or 450HUF/hour. But not nonstop. The 300 zone is for 10 hours a day, the 450 zone is 12 hours. Note that there is a minimal transactional fee depending on the way you are paying 50-100huf/3-4 hours.
I recommend Parkl app, you can see which zone you are in, be vigilant. It's a shame to get a fine if you are paying. There is also an option to renew parking through the day or even days.

You can try P+R on one of the metro line end stations, for example there is free one at Ujpest-Varoskapu. But that maybe not be the best option for you.

You can find guarded car parks, but they will cost more (8-10 euros/day or more). You can check underground garages or mall parking, they probably have advertised rates on their sites.
