Puskás Aréna has its own metro station. Puskás Ferenc Stadion on the M2 (red) line comes up at the stadium’s south-east corner, it is step-free, and on an event day it is the way in and the way out.
Tram 1 stops beside it on Hungária körút, and two trolleybus routes run along the museum’s side of the building. Driving is a bad idea on any day and impossible on a match day, when five streets round the stadium are shut.
This page covers each route, the gates, what changes on an event day, and the step-free way in.
Location and address
By public transport
Budapest’s BKK network reaches the stadium from every side, and on event days it runs extra services rather than fewer.
By metro
The M2 (red line) runs east from the centre and stops at Puskás Ferenc Stadion, four stops from Deák Ferenc tér, where it meets the M1 and M3, and one stop beyond Keleti station. The exit is at the corner of Kerepesi út and Hungária körút, with the stadium in front of you.
- Step-free: yes, one of three M2 stations with lifts to the street
- For the museum and the tours: the museum is about 9 minutes’ walk round the stadium on the Stefánia út side, through Gate X
- On event days: the M2 runs more often than usual before and after the event
Buy a single ticket, a 24-hour travel card or a Budapest Card before boarding; single tickets must be validated before you travel.
By tram
Tram 1 runs round the outer ring, Hungária körút, and stops at Puskás Ferenc Stadion M, beside the metro station. Its cars are low-floor, and it runs more often on event days too. It is the route to use if you are coming from the north or south of Pest rather than the centre.
By trolleybus and bus
- Trolleybuses 75 and 77 run along Stefánia út, the museum’s side of the stadium, and stop at Egressy út / Stefánia út, the nearest stop of any kind to Gate X. Trolleybus 75 normally ends its route at Puskás Ferenc Stadion
- Trolleybuses 75, 80 and 80A also stop on Kerepesi út by the metro
- Bus 30 runs along Dózsa György út on the west side, stopping at Verseny utca by Gate V
- Buses on Thököly út, including the 5, 7, 110, 112 and 133E, pass the northern end of the site
- Regional coaches use the Stadion bus station, which the arena lists among its own stops, so a day trip from outside Budapest can end at the stadium
On foot
The times below are measured along the streets, not guessed.
From Keleti station (about 17 minutes)
Keleti is the mainline station one M2 stop to the west. Leave by the Kerepesi út side and head east: Kerepesi út runs straight to the stadium’s south side and the metro corner.
From Heroes’ Square and City Park (about 26 minutes)
Dózsa György út runs from Heroes’ Square south-east along the edge of the park and arrives at the stadium’s west side, by Gate V. It is a long straight road rather than a pretty one, so if you are heading the other way after a tour, consider the M2 to Deák Ferenc tér and the M1 out to the park instead.
Getting to Puskás Aréna on an event day
The buses move too. Trolleybus 75 turns back at Keleti instead of running to the stadium, trolleybus 77 is sent round by Hungária körút instead of Stefánia út, and bus 30 runs along Thököly út and misses its Verseny utca stop. Every bus on Thököly út stops at Reiner Frigyes park and at Thököly út / Stefánia út, which become the useful stops for the north side of the site.
Arriving, the metro puts you at the south-east corner. For a football match the park can be walked right round, so any outer gate leads to yours; for a concert the north side is usually closed off, so check the gate on your ticket before you set off round the wrong way.
Bikes and scooters are not admitted on event days, and the stadium’s car parks are for the organiser’s people only.
Leaving, everyone heads for the same station entrance. Keleti is one stop west and about 17 minutes on foot, with the M2 and the M4 both there, and walking to it is a fair choice when the queue at the stadium station is deep.
By car and taxi
On a tour day a taxi or Bolt can set you down on Stefánia út for the museum’s side of the building; ask for “Puskás Aréna, Stefánia út” so the driver aims for Gate X. Do not expect to park at the stadium: the car parks are not public.
Accessibility
- The metro station is step-free, one of only three on the M2, and there are spaces in the cars for wheelchairs and prams
- The museum’s step-free entrance is on the Stefánia út side, in the rear third of the building’s side wall. Ring the intercom there and the reception staff come to let you in
- At events, wheelchair users and one companion need the ticket the organiser designates. Accessible seats are on the first tier, reached by designated routes, with accessible toilets on every level and 27 lifts in the building. Ask a steward for help finding your place; the organiser gives the guidance on accessible parking and entry for each event
- Hungary’s matches have a separate MLSZ ticket channel for disabled supporters
- The Arena Tour route: whether it is step-free is not published, so ask at the museum desk before you buy
- Assistance dogs are allowed in everywhere. A muzzle is recommended rather than required, and staff can ask for one if a dog reacts badly to the noise
