Budapest Airport luggage storage

All about Budapest Airport

As far as European cities go, few are as in touch with their past as Budapest. The capital of Hungary was one of the economic and political centers of central Europe during the turn of the century, and the opulence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was left relatively unscathed compared to other corners of Europe during the world wars. With some of the most eclectic and revered architecture in the world, visiting Budapest is as good as it gets for design enthusiasts. 

Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport is Hungary’s largest and busiest airport and provides a useful gateway for international travelers looking to hit one of Europe’s most historic and ornate destinations. It’s a key hub for Ryanair and other low-cost carriers, with connections throughout Europe and the UK along with select routes to North America. 

Budapest is a walking city, with plenty of top landmarks and sights that you can get to even on a travel day. Bounce luggage storage facilities are conveniently located for travelers just getting into town who want to do some sightseeing right away without the annoyance of carrying heavy bags around.
