Welcome, you’ve just found me.
My name is Tamás Gráf, and ever since I started working, I’ve been in tourism. I’m an experienced local who knows and loves Budapest inside out, and I want every visitor to enjoy truly personal, relaxed experiences here in my hometown. I speak fluent English, drive safely, and take you straight from Budapest Airport to Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher in a spacious, comfortable private car.
While you sit in the back seat of a comfortable private car, I’ll be right there in the driver’s seat, not just to get you to your hotel, but to introduce you to the city I’ve called home all my life. As we drive from the airport straight to Oktogon, I’ll guide you through Budapest’s fascinating history and culture with a live, personalised photo presentation on an iPad, full of local stories, tips, and inspiration to help you enjoy your stay from the very first moment.

Your destination: Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher
Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher sits at one of Budapest’s most iconic intersections, where Andrássy Avenue meets the Grand Boulevard. From here you are just minutes away from cafés, theatres, elegant 19th-century facades and the lively side streets of the 6th district. Staying here means you can explore Budapest on foot, by tram, or with the M1 underground that stops right on the square.
Whether you are arriving late at night or leaving early in the morning, a smooth, door-to-door transfer between Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher and Budapest Airport is often the easiest and most stress-free option.

During the ride
Typical travel time from the airport to Oktogon is around 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic. That first half hour in a new city is often spent just looking out of the window – with me, it becomes your “first hour in Budapest”.
While you sit comfortably in the back seat, you’ll see a curated selection of Budapest photos on the iPad in front of you. I’ll talk you through the main districts, how to move around the city, where to change money, which areas are best for walking, and how to make the most of your time around Oktogon, Andrássy Avenue and the city centre.
It’s not a sightseeing tour – I take you straight to your hotel – but you arrive at Hotel Oktogon Haggenmacher already knowing what you are looking at when you step outside.
Mini Hungarian lesson & foodie tips
To make your first evening easier, I also like to add a short Hungarian “survival kit” during the ride:
- Köszönöm – Thank you
- Szia – Hi / Bye (informal)
- Egészségedre – Cheers
Near Oktogon you can find excellent local places to try classic Hungarian dishes. Look out for a good bowl of gulyásleves (goulash soup), crispy-on-the-outside lángos, or sweet treats like kürtőskalács (chimney cake) and Dobos torta. I’m happy to recommend trusted spots just a short walk from the hotel, based on what you like – quiet wine bar, craft beer, traditional restaurant or something lighter after a long travel day.
