The town is 18 km from Budapest next to the M3 freeway in the valley of the Gödöllői-hills. Its highest point is the Somlyó-mountain, (Gyertyános 326m) which can be seen from the freeway or the HÉV. Many people move here because of its proximity to Budapest while retaining the quiet of the country. It is the location every year for the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix.
