The trick is to use as much discount as possible. Different countries have different discounts. In some cases international ticket is better, in some cases it is forced and in some cases the domestic ticket is better. I tried to make it as simple as possible for a first-timer. For more "daring" (nothing to dare, actually) it's possible to do for even less (ca. 37-40 Euro). But 43.03 Euro should be comfortable. This price is valid till December 12, 2008 - than things may change a little usually few percent more.How to do?1) Go Budapest->Bratislava in the morning, pay 16 Euro, buy the ticket at Wasteels in Budapest or at the train station. It's easy!2) Buy Bratislava->Vienna->Bratislava in Bratislava (NOT in Budapest!), the price is 9.2 Euro, that includesyour 4-day ticket to Vienna, there are several trains each hour. 3) After having nice time in Vienna go from Vienna to...
Hungary has many frequent train connections.If you come from Slovakia and Czech Republic or other countries take care of my advices in the Europe tourist trap section.There is one daily overnight train to Paris (via Vienna, Munich, Stuttgart etc.)Zagreb in Croatia.Istanbul (via Bukarest and Sofia)Thessaloniki (via Bukarest and Sofia)
From 1st January 2004, ie four months before Hungary joins the European Union, Senior Citizens of 65 years and over who are permanent residents of any EU-country are eligible to free transport on all means of public tranport in Hungary!This goes for trains (2nd class), inter-town busses, in-town trams, busses, etc, as well as public ferries. Good on youse!Now comes the downside: The authorities have been somewhat 'reluctant' to inform all the ticket inspectors about this. So you might still be fined simply because the inspector doesnt know :-(Find more detailed info (in German language) in a newspaper article of German-language, BP-based Pester Lloyd here:
Western Central Railway Station (Nyugati pályaudvar in Hungarian) is located at Nyugati tér (Western Square) at 6th district in the north of the city of Budapest. It is one of the three main railway stations in Budapest. Western Railway Station is the largest among the three. The other two main railway stations are Keleti pályaudvar and Déli pályaudvar. Of course you may travel to other parts of Europe from these railway stations. Nyugati pályaudvar opened to the public in 1877. It was constructed by Eiffel Company. Visitors may travel to Ferihegy International Airport terminal 1 from this central railway station. Please note that no railway line has been extended to terminal 2. You will have to take a local bus to travel between terminals 1 and 2, a distance of approximately two kilometers. The large and modern Westend City Center shopping mall is located just beside the Western Central...
