  • Driving in Hungary can seem unfamiliar if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.

  • Stay within local speed limits of about 45kph in built-up areas and around 125kph on highways. Road signs will show if a different limit applies.

  • One of the busiest times for traffic in this destination is around 8am. Make travel easier by steering clear of peak periods.
