The addresses of the conference site and the dormitory are the same:

Corvinus University,

BUDAPEST XI, MENESI UT 5
( = Budapest, 11th district, Menesi street, No. 5).

• By Airport Minibus Service.
  We recommend this possibility because it is convenient, reliable and definitely cheaper than a taxi. The Minibus Service works as follows. They collect 6-8 passengers and (similarly to ordinary taxi) every passenger will be transported to his/her individual address. A disadvantage is that one should wait till the other passengers have been collected, usually this requires 10-20 minutes. You may buy your minibus ticket already in the baggage reclaim area or in the arrival hall. The price of a ticket is 2300 HUF which doesn't depend on the address you want to go in Budapest. You may buy round trip ticket which costs 3900 HUF. If you have a round trip (return) ticket, when you leave Budapest, the Minibus Service will pick up you at your hotel (or at any point in Budapest you want) and will transfer you to the airport. In this case you should reserve the Minibus Service 2-3 days before your departure and you should tell your address, the exact date and time when your flight starts and the number of the airport terminal you want to go. The phone number of the Minibus Service is: 296-8555.
• By taxi
  One can find taxis near the airport. This is the most convenient but most expensive possibility. There are several different taxi companies in Budapest and their prices vary on a large scale. The estimated price of renting a taxi from the airport to the dormitory is approximately 5000-6000 HUF, but it may be even more expensive. It is recommended to clarify the price before taking the ride. There is a possibility to order a taxi by (either mobile or ordinary) phone using the local number 555-5555. This taxi service has a fixed price 3990 HUF from the airport to anywhere in Buda (including the conference site). The price of this service to an address in Pest is 3490 HUF.
• By public transportation.
  To go from the airport to the conference site please buy (at least) 3 tickets, and at the airport get on Bus no. 93 and go to the final station called "Kobanya-Kispest".

In Hungary the local currency is the Hungarian Forint (HUF, Forint). The present exchange rate is: one Euro is about 240-250 Forints and one US dollar is about 190-200 Forints. See also http://www.renyi.hu/lh05/general.html
Please note that the banks and money exchange offices are usually open only in the morning and early afternoon. It is best therefore if you change some money at the airport, or the railways station you arrive. You can get Forint from ATM's. The weather in August is mostly sunny and warm with the average temperature between 25-30 C. (77 - 86 F.) However, rain and cold weather is also conceivable.

Health insurance and thus free health service in case if needed is provided for EU citizens in regard to their own national insurance coverage: however, to prove your eligibility, you should bring with you a form, called E 111, which is issued and signed by your employer. For other citizens, please check whether your stay is covered by your current insurance policy.
