I was in Budapest this March and didn't find it chilly at all. It was 60F Fahrenheit or hotter during the day. In fact, I never wore the jacket I brought. Below is a link to a trip report I did for my trip, I included a lot on the activities I did in Budapest. It's a great city:

Thanks very much ya'll! Good to know about the Orange bus, light outer wear a good possibility and rail options. The friend I'm going with is very familiar with Vienna so that is still a maybe. We may take a few days to go up to Switzerland for some sightseeing by rail. Don't want to try to do too much so we are still bouncing some ideas around.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

last year was wet and slushy for long periods. this year winter hardly arrived.
it got very hot in a very quick sudden earlier this spring, and a few weeks later i had to pull the coats out of the attic again.
when traveling, always check and always be prepared

YMMV, but it looks like that bus company has some pretty bad reviews:

I just learned today that a November meeting at http://berekfurdo.parokia.net/e_index.html will end a day earlier than previously announced.
I booked a room at the Marriott Courtyard in Budapest, but would like to know about taxi fare to the airport. I would also be curious about the cost of transportation from the airport to the village where our group will be meeting which appears to be a combination of train and bus.

Question on Budapest and purchase of wifi card
Hi. Mr. Silver Springer and I arrive in Budapest Saturday for four nights. We would like to purchase/rent a wifi card that works for two people. Is this possible to do at the airport? If so, does anyone have any suggestions?
