I bought the 72h+ Budapest Card. The BKK desk in the airport was easy to find and the agent helpful. This card included door-to-door shared mini bus transfers which was well-managed. Unlimited public transport meant I could navigate around the major sites and attractions straight from my hotel without worrying about individual fares. I recommend downloading the Budapest Go app - it shows how to get between two points and current location of your selected bus etc. By scanning the QR code on my Budapest Card, I went on a riverboat cruise, an evening Danube cruise, walking tours, the Budapest Castle bus, entered the Buda Tower, The National Gallery, National Museum including St Stephen’s Hall, St Matthias Church and rode a return trip on the Castle Hill Funicular. I opted for a thermal baths and a museum that wasn’t on the free list where the card gave me 20% discount. I feel I got my money’s worth. If you’re going to visit a lot of museums, this card will save you a lot of money.

Very useful card, provided you have properly planned your Budapest tour! I bought it for the last day of our trip, which included Buda side (Historical Museum, Art Gallery, Castle, St. Matthew's Temple, Fisherman's Bastion). Although it exclusively includes the public Museums of the city (& in some cases not all Museum wings), it is ultimately useful in combination with public transport (city buses, trams, metro), because you save a lot of time & comfort. To get it, you must first visit Budapestinfo points (we went to the one in Városháza park) & show your digital voucher. Then you receive the card with the filling instructions: you have to sign it & note the exact time you start using it. Its effect starts with its 1st use & lasts 24 hours. It can also be used & to return to the airport, as follows: first you take the city bus M3 which currently replaces the metro. Then you use the metro to the terminal station Kispest & finally the city bus to the Airport. The route is very easy!
