The updated Budapest - Matrahaza bus schedule, valid on the days of arrival and departure, can be found here. Those, who spend the June 13 Sat/Sun nigth in Budapest, are recommended to take CF'98 Bus No. 1 e.g. from Hotel Mercure Buda, which is close to Deli pu, a major trafic hub in Budapest.

By air:
Hotel Ózon can be reached via the Budapest Ferihegy I or II International Airports. The Ferihegy Airports are providing convenient minibus services to any part of Budapest for a reasonable price. You may chose to take such an airport shuttle to the country bus station Nepstadion. There is a direct bus connection between the Nepstadion station and Hotel Ózon through the country town Gyöngyös, to the montain resort village of Mátraháza. The bus schedule was be revised on May 21, 1998; the new version is valid on Sun, June 14 and Sun, June 21 as well.

Good train connection exists between Budapest and the other parts of Europe. Train schedules can be provided on request. You may take Conference Bus No. 1 departing from the arrival hall of Keleti pu (Keleti railway station), on Sun. June 14, at 12:30. If you arrive to a major railway station in Budapest much earlier or later than 12:30, take a subway and change to line 3 (the red line) if you arrived to the Nyugati pu. On the subway line 3 (the red line) take the trains going to the Ors vezer tere direction and get off at the Nepstadion. Change to a bus at the Nepstadion bus station. The Budapest-Mátra buses stop directly before Hotel Ózon, the conference site.

IMPORTANT NOTE : Conference buses are described in the beginning of this document. If you miss all the conference buses, and the last bus from the Nepstadion you may call Hotel Ozon at (06 -37 - 374 004) from Hungary to request a Hotel Minibus. Or, you can ask for an Airport Minibus to Hotel Ozon, for an estimated 80 USD. We strongly discourage using a taxi in Budapest . If you have no other choice than to take a taxi, clarify the price before you sit into the cab.
