Budapest’s Lupa Beach Opens with a Splash of Summer Fun

As the city of Budapest awakens to the vibrant hues of summer, the much-anticipated Lupa Beach ushers in the season with a flourish on June 3rd. Just a short distance from the city’s vibrant center, Lupa Beach is an ideal place for those looking for a peaceful break in the city.

Despite rising costs elsewhere, Lupa Beach is keeping its prices the same as last year, including the discounts introduced in 2023. Daily News Hungary reported that, the season’s inaugural 50 guests enjoyed complimentary access, while kids under 12 get in free all season, while youth and seniors pay only HUF 2,000 (EUR 5). Adult tickets cost HUF 3,000 (EUR 8), and there’s a 30% discount on “sunset” tickets after 4 PM.

Reaching Lupa Beach couldn’t be more straightforward. Urban explorers can board the No 5 HÉV at Batthyány Square in the city center, alighting at Budakalász station for a pleasant walk to the beach. For a swift connection, the Lupa electric minibus shuttles visitors directly from the HÉV stop to the beach for just HUF 1,500 (EUR 3.85).

On the other hand, motorists can navigate main road 11 towards Szentendre, taking a detour at the Lupa-island junction, which leads to the parking area at the beach’s primary entrance within 25-30 minutes.
