⏱ Window: ~2 h Β· Start: LILIOM (17 Liliom utca) after checkout Β· Then: M1 toward Vienna (~2.5 h) Β· Jimmy's check-in 15:00–18:00 β€” a 11:00–13:00 loop still lands ~15:30–16:00 in Vienna βœ…

Budapest centre is not car-friendly β€” use paid garages/lots, not street hunting in Zone A. Pay parking via app Parkl or Simple (plate RO B901VTR). Wed = paid zones on weekdays; garages avoid the 3-hour street limits.

πŸ₯‡ Recommended: City Park + Heroes’ Square + Vajdahunyad Castle
