Košice, the main city of eastern Slovakia, is a common destination for business visitors, university delegations and groups starting a tour of the east, but the choice of flights into Košice itself is limited. Budapest is often the more practical airport, and a coach turns that choice into a single, easy leg: about 268 km and about 3 h 20 min, without a mandatory break.
North-east through Hungary to Košice
The coach heads north-east from the airport through Hungary, crosses into Slovakia and reaches Košice from the south. Both countries are in Schengen, so there is no routine passport check, but passengers must carry an ID card or passport. The coach pays the Hungarian and Slovak tolls. Because the drive is under three and a half hours, the group can sit back and rest after the flight, with a comfort stop only if someone asks for one.
Arriving in Košice and going further
The coach can drop at a hotel in the old town, a university campus or a conference venue. If the programme continues into Spiš or the High Tatras, the same coach can carry on later in the stay; see our route Košice Airport to Starý Smokovec for that leg. Suitcases up to 30 kg per piece and equipment cases travel in the hold. Put the flight number in your enquiry and a delayed landing is taken into account. One coach seats 49 to 53 people, so a full group arrives together.
Our coaches are based in Poprad, Slovakia, and the quote includes the drive to Budapest Airport for the pick-up. Booking details are on the airport transfer page.
