What is the fastest train between Budapest and Vienna that leaves around 10 am?

Ivana Novotna - info(at)czech-transport.com - 2009-07-29

Hi Harman, look at the timetable. Usually, there are direct trains every 2 hours. Trains between Vienna and Budapest are mainly Austrian (ÖBB) or hungarian coaches (MAV). Tickets available at any larger railway station in Vienna.

Can you give me cost of round trip return from Budapest to Vienna, leaving on 7th November returning on 10th November, Or alternatively one way ticket. Is their any senior citizen discount

Ivana Novotna - info(at)czech-transport.com - 2009-08-19

Hello Avril, make sure you always use the direct trains – it is better to get there faster. Ticket price ranges 19 – 29 EUR, depends on services. There should be senior discount, but as we do not cover Hungary or Wien railway system, try to find more information on InterRail or info guide Hungary
