How to get to St Anne & St Michael Church?

As St Anne Church is very close to the city centre, a short walk from Deak Ference Square or the nearby Vaci Utca shopping street (which connects Vorosmarty Square, i.e. the Vorosmarty Classic Xmas Fair and the Budapest Great Market Hall), there are many ways to get to the church on foot easily. Except for Dec 24, Christmas Eve, as this is the time when the public transportation gets infrequent (with buses running every half an hour or so) after 4 pm on Dec 24.

• Metro: the closest metro station is on the M3 blue metro line at Ferenciek tere (Franciscan Square) metro station in Budapest downtown (quite close to the white Elisabeth Bridge over the river Danube). The last metros leave at around 4pm, and then buses replace the metro cars for the rest of the day.
• Bus: there are many buses stopping on Ferenciek tere Square, the bus stop that is very close to St Anne Church, like bus number 7, 173, etc. Again, while these buses run very often on other days, on Dec 24 you may have to wait long minutes in the cold weather of Budapest winters. Make sure you get info about the details of the public transport from your hotel reception or from BKV dot hu the public transport website.
• Budapest Taxis on Christmas Eve: There are several taxis on Christmas Evening, however, fewer than on normal days. So if you want to make sure that you get to the Christmas Eve Concert in time, you may wish to book a Budapest taxi in advance.
