City
The capital city of Hungary, Budapest, was created out of the unification of the separate historic
towns of Buda, Pest and Óbuda in 1873. The city, bisected by the River Danube, covers an area
of two hundred square miles and it is divided into 23 administrative districts, and home today to
a population of 1.8 million people.
How to get there?
• By Air:
Budapest (Ferihegy) International Airport is ten miles south-east of the city centre. It has two
terminals: Terminal One was reopened for low-cost airlines in September 2005; Terminal Two is
divided into two, with Terminal 2A the departure and arrival point for flights of Malév Hungarian
Airlines and Terminal 2B hosting all international carriers’ flights.
• By Train/rail:
More than fifty trains a day provide direct links between Budapest and no fewer than 25 other
capital cities. Trains to Vienna run every three hours. There is also a popular network of Inter City
trains linking Budapest with the main Hungarian centres.
• By Car:
All Hungary’s motorways and most of her main roads radiate out from the capital. The M1, M3,
M5 and M7 are toll motorways, and you must pay the appropriate toll (either at the border or at
larger petrol stations) and display the windscreen sticker before joining the road. Road signs
conform to continental standards.
Electricity:
Voltage in Hungary is 220 volts, and plugs are of the two-pin continental type.
Exchange:
All visitors are advised to exchange currency only at accredited places. The majority of banks
have 24-hour ATM’s some of which can also exchange foreign currency. Individual banks and
travel agencies are free to set their own rates (based on those advertised by the Hungarian
National Bank) but they must be clearly displayed. The Hungarian currency is the forint. There
are coins to the value of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 forints, and notes for 200, 500, 1,000,
2,000, 5,000, 10,000 and 20,000 forints.
All the most popular credit, debit and charge cards can be used in banks and in ATM’s to
withdraw forints, and in hotels, restaurants and shops for purchases.
Insurance:
The Congress organizers cannot accept liability for personal injuries sustained, or for loss or
damage to property belonging to Congress participants and accompanying persons, either
during or as a result of the Congress. Registration does not include insurance. It is strongly
recommended that you take an insurance policy of your choice as you register for the Congress

Letter of Invitation:
The Congress Secretariat will be pleased to send letters of invitation to any individual making such
a request. A letter of invitation often facilitates the procedure of obtaining a Visa. Please note that
