Change language:
Budapest’s tropical paradise beach will not raise prices, and will not change last year’s price reductions. Furthermore, you will be able to buy budget beach foods. Beach season started at Lupa today. Here is everything you should know.
Getting there remains easy and comfortable
According to Szeretlek Magyarország, Lupa Beach, Budapest’s tropical paradise, opened today. The place is not far from Budapest, on the shores of a natural lake. You can get there quickly: by public transport, you should take No 5 HÉV to Budakalász station and from there, it’s about a 20-minute walk, or you can take the electric Lupa minibus from the Budakalász HÉV stop. A ride on the minibus costs HUF 1,500 (EUR 3.85).
No 5 HÉV starts its journey from downtown, the Batthyány Square, the square opposite the Hungarian Parliament on the Buda side.
By car, take the main road 11 towards Szentendre, turn right towards the Danube at the Lupa-island junction – on the Lupaszigeti road – and follow the signs to the car park at the main entrance. It is only a 25-30-minute-long journey.
Finally, you can bike there from Budapest. The Eurovelo 6 leads directly to the bike entrance, where you can access the free bike parking. If you prefer to cycle less, take the HÉV to Budakalász or the Lupa bus, as you can transport your bicycle on both.
