How to get to City Centre Apartments

Arrival by car

From the West: Vienna, Balaton, HR, I, SLO, SK (Bratislava)

You will drive on motorway M 1. Later M 1 and M 7 are joining. Drive on the third lane counted from the middle of the road after the Budapest sign and Hotel Wien. This lane takes you over an overpass passing by the Hotel Bara over the Elisabeth-bridge (Erzsébet híd). Arriving on the Pest side of the Erzsébet híd, drive straight ahead on Kossuth utca. You will drive by the Hotel Astoria, East-West Business Centre (glass office building). The street is called now Rákóczi út. The first lane on the right hand side is Puskin, green post office on the corner; the second one is at the supermarket SPAR: Szentkirályi utca. The third building is the house number 5.

You find our company's flag with logo at the front of the building. If our assistant is at the moment not in the office, he/she has a pager and will open you the front door in 2-3 minutes. Our office is in the left corner of the court yard on the ground floor. Please wait in front of it.

From Romania, Serbia: motorway M 5, national road 4 or 5

If your address is near metro 2 station Astoria: VIII. Szentkirályi utca 5. or nearby.

Please take into consideration that planning the arrival time for a journey by car is pretty uncertain. It depends on the waiting times at the borders, on the weather and road circumstances, on the road traffic, on your physical condition, on the state of mind and lots of other unforeseen events. It is much easier to look for an address in an unknown city in daylight than at darkness when the streets are even empty and you cannot ask anybody to help you. That is why we politely ask you to start your journey much earlier than you think it would be necessary.

From the North (Slovakia) via Šahy / Parassapuszta

Please drive on M 2 – toll free – all the way to Budapest. When you arrive at the border of Budapest – two parallel lanes like on a motorway – look for the sign Centrum – Újpest. This will be a turn to the right, please drive in the right lane. You will arrive on a very long (8 km) main road called Váci út. It will lead you first through the IV. district then XIII. district. You keep on driving straight ahead, over two overpasses (fly-overs). After the first one, shortly before the second one, you'll pass by the Westend City Center with Hotel Hilton on the left side, then the train station Nyugati pu., also on the left side, down by the fly-over. Under the overpass will be the tram line 4 & 6.

You'll get to Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út. 400 m further you pass by the basilica of St. Stephen (right side), then also on the right side the square Erzsébet tér. The main road turns a bit to the left; after the second traffic light (250 m) at the Synagogue, please turn to the left. This is the street Dohány utca with a trolley bus line #74. The Great Synagogue you will pass by on the left hand. 150 m further turn to the right (Síp utca). At the traffic light you can turn to the left up to Rákóczi út. Drive in the rightmost lane (for buses) and 150 m further turn to the right after the Slovakian Cultural Institute (Szlovák Kulturális Intézet) into Szentkirályi utca. The third house from the main road on the right side is our hotel with our company's flag. See our logo.

If you get lost in the centre, please find out the district number in Roman figures (like IX.) and the crossing (both names of the streets). Then call us. We endeavour helping you according to a map.
