[edit] By car
Easiest by car to follow M1 or M7 highway from Budapest and leave at the exit of Érd. Routes 6 and 70 also cross through the town.
[edit] By train
Trains leave most often from Budapest Déli station (this train will also stop in Budapest Kelenföld). There are less frequent trains from the Keleti station also. Note that Érd has three stations: Érd felső (upper Érd), Érd, and Érd alsó (lower Érd). Not all the trains stop in all three so check before boarding. Journey time will be roughly 30 to 40 minutes. Check [1] for the exact schedule.
[edit] By bus
There are a few options by bus. The easiest to take the frequent-running bus from Etele tér which will take you directly to Érd in about 25 minutes. There are less frequent buses that leave from Csepel, or you can also take the #3 from Móricz Zsigmond körtér in Buda to Nagytetény, and from there catch a 10 minute bus to Érd.

- Steak House. If you enjoy meat, this is for you. They have all kinds of steaks, the place is nice (all wooden interior), service is okay. Prices are a bit high but you probably won't regret it afterwards (and you definitely won't stay hungry).
