Pomáz

Pomáz is the entrance of the Pilis. The village in the valley of Dera-stream with more than 16 000 inhabitants. The nearby volcanic mountains, the Nagy-Csikóvár and the Kőhegy Mountain, and the Holdvilág-árok (ditch) attract day-trippers.

By train

From Budapest you can take the HÉV (commuter train) H5 line. The ride takes 32 min from Batthyány Square, 24 min from Szentlélek Square (Árpád Bridge). For the part within Budapest (last stop is Békásmegyer), you need a single ticket or a valid pass for Budapest public transport; for the rest you have to buy a suburban ticket. You should buy the Budapest ticket/pass before boarding the train in all cases; the suburban ticket should be bought advance if there is a working ticket vending machine, an open ticket office or reseller available (as of February 2019, there are TVMs at all suburban stops/stations except for Budakalász, and also almost all urban ones, see map). TVMs accept forint coins and notes, as well as conventional and contactless bank cards. You will pay €1.5-2 in forints. HÉV timetable

By bus

You can take a bus from the Pest end of Árpád híd, but these buses are not coming to Pomáz, they are going on route 11, so you must walk or arrange transport for the rest 2-3 km. The easier way is the HÉV.

By car

By car it is easy to access from the route 11.

The bus going to Dobogókő stops several times between the HÉV station and the northern end of Pomáz. Also there are private companies running transportation services within Pomáz with vans, but they are more expensive.

Most sights are in the main square, the biggest attraction is the Wattay-Teleki-castle. It has been renovated as a home for a music school. It is open for visitors.
You can take a walk in the forest in Csikóváralja: it's a very popular weekend destination for people of Budapest. A very good restaurant waits for you after the trip.
