Hungarian superstar’s concerts in Budapest: huge traffic restrictions expected

The Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) recommends using public transport for those going to the concerts held at the Puskás Arena on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings by today’s biggest Hungarian sensation, Azahriah. If you’re not going to the concert but have business around the area of the arena, public transport is also recommended.

Traffic restrictions in Budapest on Friday, Saturday and Sunday

According to BKK, Dózsa György Road and Ifjúság Road may be closed from 18.30 in the vicinity of the stadium before the performance, which starts at 20.30. Stefánia Road will be closed for about an hour after the concerts, which are expected to end at 22.30, hvg.hu writes, based on BKK.

As parking is limited at the arena, BKK recommends using public transport to get to the venue.

The M2 and M4 metro lines and tram 1 will run more frequently, and all buses on Thököly Road will stop at Reiner Frigyes Park and Thököly Road/Stefánia Road.

In addition, the company also recommends the use of the MOL Bubi public bicycle system and points out that the stadium can be reached on foot not only from the Puskás Ferenc Stadion metro station but also from the Keleti Railway Station (via Verseny Street) with similar travel times.

BKK added that several buses and trolleybuses will be diverted in the area when the closures take effect.
