Airport Locations Relative to Each City

The Airport Nurnberg is located about 12-15 minutes north of the city center.  There are several ways to get into the city, including a 12 minute train ride directly from the airport.  Taxis run about 15 minutes and cost 16 Euros (it doesn't say if that is per cab or if that is per person). 

 
We should be plenty tired at this point, but a 12 minute train ride is far better than some of the trips we had to take to get to our destination.
 
When our cruise is over, we will be leaving from Budapest Airport (Bud for short).  The airport is located to the east of the city.  The taxis and most shuttle services charge by the "zone" where they pick you up for the ride to the airport.  From what I can figure out, we will be in Zone 2 at the Marriott so it should cost 22 Euros to get to the airport.  Again, this appears to be for the "cab" and not per person.  But, we can check with the Marriott to be on the safe side.  They do NOT use Euros in Hungary and I read an article that said to get a cab that uses Credit Cards OR be sure you have close to the exact change.  The reason is they have found some cabbies giving back your change in Romanian currency which is no longer worth anything.  Before you realize it, they are long gone!  We may just want to have the Marriott get us a reliable shuttle. 
 
One note:  the Budapest airport offers free WiFi.
