Travelling between budapest and vienna

We would like to travel from budapest to vienna and then vienna. What is the best way...train or car service? If train what is the best place to buy tickets...raileurope or is there some site or place better/cheaper?

You can buy your ticket at the train station in Budapest.





Generally no need to reserve seats - 2nd class is OK.



Many trains daily.



If travelling 1-2 people trin is probably cheaper.





You may want to clarify your question as it appears you intend to travel onward after Vienna and perhaps did not type city?

Hi! For a train timetable, have a look at http://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/query.exe/en





From: Budapest



To: Vienna





You can buy your train tickets just before you go (often there%26#39;s a long queue at Budapest keleti pu, so be there in time. Train travel is something very usual in Europe, absolutely no need to book in advance, tickets can never be sold out and you will find many free seats on the trains. Do not book at raileurope... they are very expensive and, as I said, no need to book or buy in advance.

Thanks for the info....yes i meant to write vienna to prague. Is it the same for that...go to the train station to get the ticket?



THanks so much for the input.

Yes regarding your ticket for Prague. But check schedule - Vienna has several train stations- Prague trains leave from Westbahnhof, Sudbahnhof and Franz Josef Bahnhof.



The best route and shortest travel time is usually found on those trains leaving Sudbahnhof- 4-5 hours.
