Are you looking for a destination that combines grandeur, history, relaxation, and incredible value for money? Budapest is the answer. For Norwegians, the Hungarian capital has become a favorite getaway, offering everything from world-class thermal baths to vibrant nightlife, all at a fraction of the cost of staying home.
Flying from Oslo (OSL) to Budapest (BUD) transports you from the Fjords to the Danube in just over two hours. At Ready2Go, we specialize in making this popular route seamless for our clients. Whether you are traveling for a romantic weekend, a "gutte/jentetur" (trip with friends), or for medical tourism, we ensure your journey is safe, organized, and perfectly suited to your needs.
Budapest is an easy destination to love, but booking through a trusted Norwegian partner adds a layer of security and convenience that automated sites cannot provide.
1. Experts in Spa & Medical Travel
Budapest is not just a tourist destination; it is a hub for wellness and dental tourism. Thousands of Norwegians travel here annually for high-quality dental work or spa treatments. We understand the specific logistics required for these trips—such as flexible tickets in case appointments run over, or advice on hotels located near major clinics. We take the stress out of the logistics so you can focus on your health.
2. Group Travel Specialists
Budapest is famous for its "ruin bars" and nightlife, making it a top choice for bachelor and bachelorette parties. Organizing flights for large groups can be a headache. We handle the coordination, ensuring everyone is on the same flight, seated together, and that baggage is pre-booked for the group, saving you from chaotic group chats and booking errors.
3. Local Norwegian Support
When you book with Ready2Go, you have a local team in Norway watching your back. If a flight is cancelled or you need assistance while abroad, you can speak to someone who understands your language and your consumer rights. We provide a safety net that low-cost carriers often lack.
Departure from Gardermoen:
Your city break begins at Oslo Airport Gardermoen. As a short-haul flight within the Schengen area, the process is quick and efficient.
Ready2Go Tip: If you are traveling for a weekend, we can advise on "hand luggage only" fares that save you money and time. However, if you plan to buy Hungarian wine or paprika, let us help you add a checked bag!
Arrival at Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD):
You will land at Terminal 2, located about 16 km southeast of the city center.
The 100E Connection: The airport is well-connected. The 100E express bus is a favorite for travelers, taking you directly to Deák Ferenc tér (the very center of town) in about 40 minutes.
Taxi Advice: Avoid hailing random cabs. We recommend using the official yellow taxi booth located immediately outside the terminal exit to ensure you get a fair, metered rate. We can also arrange private pre-paid transfers for peace of mind.
Budapest is a tale of two cities divided by the majestic Danube River: hilly Buda with its castle and sweeping views, and flat Pest with its buzzing urban life.
Thermal Baths: No visit is complete without a dip. The Széchenyi Medicinal Bath (in the park) and the Art Nouveau Gellért Bath are iconic. It is a year-round luxury that is surprisingly affordable.
The Ruin Bars: In the Jewish Quarter, derelict buildings have been transformed into eclectic, artistic bars. Szimpla Kert is the most famous, offering a nightlife experience you won't find anywhere else in Europe.
Architecture & History: majestic Parliament building, illuminated at night, is one of the most beautiful sights in Europe. A sunset cruise on the Danube is a must-do.
To ensure your Hungarian adventure is flawless, here is some expert advice from our team:
Currency: Hungary uses the Hungarian Forint (HUF), not the Euro. While cards are widely accepted, you will need cash for small markets, some ruin bars, and tipping. Be careful with the zeros—1,000 Forints is a small amount, so get used to the large numbers!
Tipping: Tipping is customary in Hungary (around 10%). Check your bill first, as some restaurants add a service charge automatically.
Water Quality: Tap water in Budapest is safe to drink and high quality. Bring a reusable bottle to save money and plastic.
Validation: If you use the metro or trams, you must validate your paper ticket before entering or boarding. Inspectors are frequent and strict with tourists.
Dental Tourists: We can coordinate your flight arrival with clinic opening hours and recommend accommodation that caters to medical guests.
Couples: Looking for romance? We can help you book flights that arrive in time for a candlelit dinner on the Danube embankment.
History Buffs: We can structure your itinerary to allow ample time for visiting the House of Terror museum or the Castle District without rushing to the airport.
