BudapestGO Celebrates Third Anniversary with Cultural Perks

The BudapestGO app, operated by the Budapest Transport Center (BKK), is marking its third anniversary on February 14, 2025, with a month-long celebration offering users special cultural discounts across the Hungarian capital.

App Success and Growth

Since its launch, BudapestGO has achieved remarkable milestones:

  • Over 7 million downloads
  • More than 26 million digital tickets and passes sold
  • Users have planned over 122 million routes

The app’s popularity peaked in December 2024, with record-breaking ticket and pass sales. BKK continues to enhance the app’s functionality, recently introducing a “boarding” button that simplifies the process for pass holders to board front-door-only buses and trolleys without the need for QR code scanning.

Anniversary Promotions

To commemorate the occasion, BKK is offering BudapestGO users a 20% discount on tickets to various cultural venues and events throughout February. Participating locations include:

  • Katona József Theatre
  • Örkény István Theatre’s birthday concert
  • Budapest Film cinemas (Corvin, Művész, Puskin, Toldi, Tabán, Kino)
  • Museum of Illusions
  • Cinema Mystica
  • House of Hungarian Music: Sounddome 360 cinema immersive screenings

How to Access Discounts

Users can take advantage of these offers in two ways:

  1. For online purchases (Katona József Theatre, Örkény Theatre, and House of Hungarian Music):
  • Buy a pass through BudapestGO between February 1-28
  • Obtain a coupon code by providing your transaction ID in the app
  • Use the code when purchasing tickets online (valid until March 16, 2025)
  1. For on-site purchases (Budapest Film cinemas, Museum of Illusions, Cinema Mystica):
  • Show your valid BudapestGO pass at the venue
  • Scan the QR code at the ticket office to display an animated image
  • Receive a 20% discount on a full-price adult ticket

Each coupon code or pass can be used once per venue for a discounted full-price ticket.

Celebrating Budapest’s Cultural Scene

This promotion not only celebrates BudapestGO’s success but also encourages users to explore Budapest’s rich cultural offerings. The BKK team has curated a special Spotify playlist featuring celebratory songs to accompany users on their cultural journey through the city.

As BudapestGO continues to evolve and improve urban mobility in Budapest, this anniversary celebration serves as a testament to the app’s impact on daily life in the Hungarian capital. Users are encouraged to take full advantage of these cultural perks and join in the festivities throughout February.
