Vienna to Budapest - Best way

Hi,

Myself and my husband will travel from Vienna to Budapest one way.

What is the most economical way to do this?

Thank you very much!

|||

Bus is the cheapest way -

28 euros ?

but less frequent service than train

for bus

www.eurolines.at

for train www.oebb.at

about 40 euro

|||

Thank you.

|||

The bus is € 28 bought on the spot... the train is € 33,60 (flexible ticket). Travel time is about the same... but the train is definately much more comfortable and the usual way to go.

|||

We will take the train.

Thank you.

|||

Is there a price listed on the train site provided?

|||

Yes, but only in the german version.

It is a good idea to purchase the train ticket a day or so in advance and to purchase it at the train station.

I just took the train from Budapest - Vienna last week. It was enjoyable, and very cheap at only $35 Canadian for the 3 hour journey. I bought my ticket from the Keleti train station in Budapest. Remember to buy your ticket at the office near train platform #6 (not the general Budapest ticket office below the street level). We wasted 15 minutes in line there.
