Getting Around, Gyor Travel, Transport and Car Rental
(Gyor, Gyor-Moson-Sopron, Hungary)
Public transport in Gyor comes in the form of local buses, which travel all over the city and connect its surrounding suburbs. Buses are also on hand to transport passengers further afield from Gyor, to destinations such as the nearby capital of
Hungary,
Budapest.
Those choosing to travel around Gyor by hire car will soon discover that parking is not only difficult, but it can also be a costly affair as well. Therefore, it is often easier to leave your car at the hotel and only use it to explore areas outside of the city, relying on local bus transport to travel around the central streets, which can be a little intimidating for the uninitiated.

Car Rental
Renting a car at Budapest Ferihegy Airport is certainly a relatively simple and painless way to travel into Gyor. However, once here, driving around central Gyor can be quite a challenge, since many of the streets are now one-way only and quite confusing. Parking can also be difficult, although those intending to spend time exploring Hungary's Western Transdanubia region will find many appealing cities close by, such as both Sopron and Szombathely.
Trains
After Budapest, Gyor is home to the country's main railway junction, with trains regularly transporting passengers from all over Hungary. Many convenient rail services travel to Budapest (one and a half hours), Szombathely (up to two hours) and Veszprém (two hours), amongst other locations. Those travelling to Slovakia from Gyor will need to change trains at the city of Komárom.
Buses and Coaches
The local bus network is extremely well developed and not only do city buses travel around central Gyor, but long-distance buses connect many destinations further afield, all over Hungary. These include Budapest (just over one hour), Lébény (30 minutes), Mosonmagyaróvár (50 minutes), Pannonhalma (30 minutes), Tata (one and a half hours) and Veszprém (one and a half hours). Even the Austrian capital of Vienna is linked to Gyor by buses, being around two hours away.
