Pros: The drivers are really nice and helpful. The bus is very clean. I was squished by the other passenger....this is more related to the other passengers I presume. Tips: Leave room for the person sitting next to you. Having only half of seat is not really a joy.

Tourists often flock to the Old Town quarter, a historic area that dates back to several centuries. In this quarter, you can also find the magnificent Baroque Palaces, with their awe-inspiring architecture, as well as Mozart House, where Mozart performed for the Palffy clan when he was only six years old. Don't miss out on the chance to marvel at the Gothic Cathedral of St. Martin, the coronation church for the kings and queens of Hungary for three centuries.
