Best way to travel between Budapest and Vienna, avoiding railway chaos

Wish to avoid the chaos that reigns the Budapest-Vienna railway line? We have the answer for you.

A few days ago, we reported that it has become difficult to get to Vienna by train from Budapest via Győr, because you have to change to a replacement bus. If you feel like you don’t have time for that, Flixbus might just be the perfect choice for you.

FlixBus is temporarily adding three new buses to its fleet between Budapest and Vienna, Travelo reports. Now you can choose from up to 14 daily departures to Vienna.

The company said in a statement that

the new connections will allow passengers to travel to Vienna and back to Budapest comfortably, quickly and at affordable prices, without having to make a transfer.

The new services will join the existing ones from 3 November. This will mean up to 14 services a day from Népliget station to Vienna Main Station, making travel between the two cities easier.

Services operate at all times of the day. The fastest connections are scheduled to take 2 hours 55 minutes from Budapest Népliget to Vienna Main Station and 2 hours 40 minutes to Vienna Airport. Tickets are available from HUF 3999 (EUR 10.44), according to the statement.

They added that their connections are not only between Budapest and Vienna. They also operate to major cities in Western Europe. There are direct buses from Budapest to Strasbourg, Linz and Munich, among others. For more information, please visit the FlixBus website.
