Budapest & BUD eSIM guide: land at BUD with your first route already online.
Budapest Airport is directly linked with the city centre by the 100E Airport Express, which currently runs around the clock and requires its own airport-shuttle ticket. Mobile data is useful immediately for the correct stop, ticket information and hotel directions. Pre-installing an eSIM still makes the arrival smoother because your connection can continue when airport Wi-Fi ends and the first transport, ticket or hotel task begins.
