Arrival by bus and parking

There is no general bus parking on Vár Street. Groups therefore arrive in two stages: the tour bus may stop briefly at Vörösmarty Mihály Square to allow passengers to get on and off, and then moves to the One Veszprém Arena parking lot while waiting.

Important
– The stop may last no longer than 5 minutes
– You can wait for the bus in the One Veszprém Arena parking lot
– Parking may be restricted on event days

How does the group get to the Castle?

The Castle is easily accessible on foot from Vörösmarty Mihály Square. The route passes through the city center and Óváros Square and is easily navigable even for groups. If the group or the driver would like to use public transportation from the parking lot, Veszprém’s public transportation is operated by V-Busz, and current schedules can be checked on the VeszprémGO route planner.

Important
– a short walk from Vörösmarty Square to downtown
– Local transportation: V-Bus / VeszprémGO
– Ticket prices: 350 HUF in advance, 500 HUF from the driver, 1,500 HUF for a day pass

It is always a good idea to check the exact route based on the current schedule
