The charming look out of Budapest was the most popular excursion place for the artist society of the last century. The well-known singer Róza Klein once sung the great aria of Bellini`s "Norma" under a big beech on this beautiful place. From this time on this place is called Norma tree, in Hungarian Normafa.

On the top of the Sváb-Hill, on the border of the Nature Protected Area of Buda, still 15 minutes away from Downtown lies the Hotel Normafa in a picturesque environment. The familiar atmosphere and the green surroundings of the alpine style hotel provide excellent possibility for recreation. The hotel has 2 restaurants with terraces, wide range of sport and fitness facilities, open-air heated pool all year long and wellness area are at our guests' disposal.

Notes on buses 21, 21-red and 90:

When you use public transport, sooner or later you end at Moszkva tér or Déli pályaudvar, where you have to change to bus #21 or #90. Bus #21 BLACK (we will return to the colour later) and #90 take essentially the same path, but the final stop of 21 is Normafa, while 90 goes further (to KFKI/Csillebérc). You can reach the conference's site by both of them by getting off at the stop Normafa. Hotel Normafa (the conference's site) is a few tens of metres back prior to you direction of travel. Buses #21 BLACK and #90 start from the same stop both at Moszkva tér and Déli pályaudvar. About every second bus is not #21 but #90, with a follow-up time of ~10min during the day (for a more detailed timetable see the homepage of the Budapest Transport Company). IMPORTANT! Do NOT take bus #21 RED. The final stop of this line is much earlier than Hotel Normafa! (see the schematic view above).

How to distinguish bus #21 BLACK, #21 RED, and #90?
The easiest is #90: if you see one, take it (see above where to get off).
#21 BLACK -- special characteristics: start for the same stop at Moszkva tér as #90; marked by a black coloured "21" on plastic information boards on the buses or green "21" without a surrounding box in case of electronic information boards.
#21 RED -- special characteristics: start from a different stop at Moszkva tér than #21 BLACK or #90; marked by a red coloured "21" on plastic information boards on the buses or green "21" with surrounding RED box in case of electronic information boards; some electronic boards may also say: "21gy".
