Hungarian passport holders can enter the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) for up to 90 days for tourism or business. An approved ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) is required before boarding. ESTA costs $21, is valid for 2 years or until your passport expires, and allows multiple entries. Apply at esta.cbp.dhs.gov at least 72 hours before departure. Most approvals come within minutes, but some take up to 72 hours.
Passport must be an e-passport (machine-readable biometric). At the US border, CBP officers may ask about the purpose of your visit, length of stay, accommodation, and ties to Hungary. Have a return ticket and hotel bookings accessible. The 90-day VWP stay cannot be extended and does not allow a change of status. Overstaying triggers a permanent VWP ban. If you need more than 90 days, apply for a B-1/B-2 visa at the US Embassy in Budapest ($185 application fee, interview required, 2 to 8 week processing).

Silver Line SL1 (free from Logan) runs to South Station in 15–20 minutes, connecting to the Red Line subway and Amtrak services.

Water taxi to Long Wharf (downtown) is $12 and runs seasonally; check weather and schedule.Taxis to downtown Boston cost $30–45 (tunnel toll included in meter). Ride-hails pick up at designated zones; follow the Logan app directions to avoid the main curb chaos.

Humid continental climate with significant maritime influence. Winters (December–March) bring regular Nor'easters. These coastal storms that dump heavy snow and produce high winds, frequently closing Logan for hours and causing mass cancellations. Ice storms hit several times each winter. BOS is one of the most weather-disrupted major US airports in winter.
Summers are warm (22–29°C) with humidity and afternoon thunderstorms causing July–August delays. Hurricane remnants reach New England in September–October. Spring and fall are mild (8–18°C) but unpredictable. Logan's harbor location means it runs windier than inland readings suggest. Factor this into small aircraft routing.
