Grand Prix of Hungary 2025 - Information

Trip advice

WHERE ARE WE?
Our packages are based in the lovely spa town of Heviz at the western end of Lake Balaton. See our map for more details.
The town is not large - very walkable. We also have secure parking at all our hotels if you are driving/biking.

The circuit is about 30km (30 minutes) south of Heviz, near the village of Savoly.

GETTING THERE

Flying
Unfortunately the small airport at Balaton has been closed; so the three closest international airports are:
* Budapest Ferihegy Airport: 2 hours drive (179 km)
* Zagreb, Croatia: 2 hours (188 km)
* Bratislava, Slovakia: 3.5 hours (230 km)

Budapest is your best bet. It has a number of direct services from the UK: BA from Heathrow, EasyJet from Luton, RyanAir from East Midlands and Bristol, and Jet2.com from Manchester, to name a few. The national carrier MALEV flies to many European destinations.

Zagreb (Croatia) is slightly closer, and is well served from Germany and Italy. Try GermanWings, Lufthansa, Croatia Airlines.

Bratislava may also be a good choice - RyanAir uses it heavily: from Italy (Trapani Birgi, Pisa, Bolgona), Germany (Frankfurt, Dusseldorf), Brussels, Paris, Spain (Gerona, Alicante), Dublin, Stockholm. UK - Bratislava options are good from London, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol (all on RyanAir)
However although nearly the same km, the roads between Bratislava and Balaton are quite small, and the most direct route is via Budapest

Driving/Riding

This is one event we REALLY want to ride to... Our hotels all have secure parking, and of course we will pay special attention to any bikers coming in. We do not yet know the parking situation at the track; however there is certain to be arrangements for all vehicles. Of course we recommend you leave the vehicle at the hotel and come on the coach with us to take advantage of beer opportunities at the track!

GETTING TO YOUR HOTEL
Getting from Budapest Airport to our hotels is a bit tricky on public transport. Via train it will take about 4.5 hours, with one change, and a 10km taxi (not expensive) at the destination. You go to Keszthely station. The cost is only about 15 EUR per person each way.

We can arrange a private car for you; also we will be consolidating customers into minivans for a more economic transfer. Please give us your flight details and we will advise the best transfer option.

We can also organise private transport from Zagreb. If there is sufficient interest we will do a van from Bratislava.

A taxi from Budapest airport to Heviz will cost at least €200. Similar from Zagreb.

GETTING TO THE TRACK
Exact track location, parking and other logistic details are not known at this time. Of course if you are with us on a package then we will sort door-to-door transfers. If you are travelling independently, we will advise on public transport options once we know them. There is a small train line coming from Balatonbereny stopping not far from the projected location of the circuit; we assume this will be incorporated into the circuit plans.
