Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.

Hungary is Schengen/EU, so an EU eSIM or any EU-roaming home plan works normally the moment you land — a dedicated eSIM (Airalo, Yettel, Vodafone Hungary) is only worth it if your home plan doesn't cover the EU.

Insider tip

Sessions are capped around 120 minutes — register again on a second device or after reconnecting rather than assuming one login covers a long layover.

WiFi network names and session limits change frequently. Verify current details at the airport information desk or official website.

eSIM for Hungary

Skip the SIM card queue. Activate a data plan before you land and connect the moment you arrive in Budapest.
