Budapest Kelenfold

Introduction

Karen Ford Railway Station is the fourth busiest train station in Budapest (after Keleti pu, Délipu and Nyugati pu). It opened in 1861 and is located in the southwest of the city centre, in the XI district of the Újbuda or Kelenföld suburb.

Today, the Kelenföld station is very busy, and almost all passenger and cargo services passing through T ransdanubia operated by the Hungarian Railway Company pass through here. The station is the terminus of Budapest Metro Line 4, which was commissioned on March 28, 2014. Next to the station is a suburban Volánbusz bus terminal.

Transfer to the subway

Many trains to and from the Keleti Railway Station in Budapest pass at the Karen Ford Railway Station in Budapest. Keleti is close to the city centre and the Kelenfold station is in the suburbs.

However, compared to the Keleti Station, Karen Ford's transportation to the city centre is easier - especially if you have heavy luggage. In recent years, Karen Ford has been modernized and has easy access to Line 4 of the Budapest Metro.

Unlike Keleti, all passengers have free access to the Karen Ford underground station. Subway tickets can be purchased from purple and white ticket vending machines instead of yellow ticket vending machines. Metro machines accept coins and credit/debit cards.

Line 4 is at SzentGellérttér (adjacent to the Gellert bath), Fovam Ter (near the food market and the Kalvin Ter in the city centre) with a station and close to the Hungarian National Museum.

The connection can be found on the Kalvin Ter on line 3 at the DeákFerenctér station in the city centre. Line 4 also serves the Keleti station, but you can save time by taking a subway round trip to Karen Ford.

This is because the train from Kailun Ford to Keleti Station takes approximately 12-15 minutes to reach the destination. So when you are ready to leave the train in Keleti, you may already be in the centre of Budapest.

Ljubljana (UK: , US: , Slovene: [ljuˈbljàːna] , locally also [luˈblàːna]; also known by other historical names) is the capital and largest city of Slovenia. It has been the cultural, educational, economic, political, and administrative centre of independent Slovenia since 1991. During antiquity, a Roman city called Emona stood in the area. Ljubljana itself was first mentioned in the first half of the 12th century. Situated at the middle of a trade route between the northern Adriatic Sea and the Danube region, it was the historical capital of Carniola, one of the Slovene-inhabited parts of the Habsburg Monarchy. It was under Habsburg rule from the Middle Ages until the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918. After World War II, Ljubljana became the capital of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia, part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It retained this status until Slovenia became independent in 1991 and Ljubljana became the capital of the newly formed state.
