The fee for the use of the highway system in Hungary has to be
paid in advance by purchasing the appropriate vignette. For
prices and details please refer to the web pages below. Since
the last section of M5 reaching Szeged was just recently
finished, older maps and route planning software may not show
it, but once you are on M5 you can drive along and just take
the Exit at 159km at the north border of Szeged (in direction
M43, Szeged Eszak, Hodmezovasarhely, Nagylak, Arad).

feel like walking, there are three

(1, 3, 4), four trolley lines (5, 7, 8, 9), and several bus
lines with frequent stops and change locations to get you
basically anywhere in town. To ride on any of these vehicles you
need a valid pass. Single tickets (HUF 200), daily tickets (HUF

major stops and change points. Single tickets can also be
