The nearest city is Kecskemét, about 35 kilometres to the northeast. From Kecskemét, local buses run to Bugac — the journey takes around an hour on winding country roads. By car the drive is straightforward, following Route 54 south and then minor roads west into the puszta.
From Budapest, the easiest approach is to take the train to Kecskemét (about 90 minutes) and then change to the local bus, or to hire a car for the day. Several Budapest tour operators offer day trips that include the horse show, lunch at the csárda, and a walk in Kiskunság National Park, which saves the logistics if you are not driving.
There is no direct rail connection to Bugac village itself.
