With 982,517 passengers from Germany, Budapest ranked 19th among destinations abroad from the main German airports in 2025; most started from Frankfurt, Berlin-Brandenburg and Munich. From Liszt Ferenc airport, bus 100E runs around the clock to Deák Ferenc tér in about 40 minutes. The Danube separates flat Pest from hilly Buda. The Danube banks and Castle District have been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 1987, and Andrássy út and the Millennium Underground were added in 2002. In 2024 the city counted 6.03 million guests.
