Location

Aeropark Aviation Museum is located directly beside Budapest's Ferenc Liszt International Airport, right next to Terminal 2B, and is easily accessible via public transportation or on foot from the terminals. This open-air museum is dedicated to the history of Hungarian civil aviation, featuring an extensive collection of restored aircraft—including classic Soviet-era planes used by the former national airline Malév—as well as ground service equipment and historic airport vehicles. Visitors can climb aboard many of the aircraft, try flight simulators, and browse a themed gift shop. The airport’s location means the museum offers authentic planespotting opportunities, and guided airport tours that depart from Aeropark bring you closer to airport operations unavailable to regular passengers. The surrounding area is focused on airport facilities, but the museum itself is a destination for aviation enthusiasts, families, and visitors with layovers, providing a memorable slice of Hungarian and global aviation heritage just steps from the city’s main air gateway.
