You'll find eight touchscreen information sets over town two at Ferihegy Airport , one each in the Southern Railway Station, the Astoria underground station, the Central Market Hall, the Royal Castle and the Hungarian Culture Foundation, and two at the Tourinform offices. The number of machines is soon to treble, and the awesome variety of information available in Hungarian will soon be available in English and German as well. (Currently only some of it is.)
Apart from the usual kind of information, the system provides sophisticated orientation advice - it helps with routes by mass transit, or by car.
