Experience Vienna to Budapest by train with ÖBB, the Austrian company that takes rail travel to new levels with effortless speed, supreme comfort and exceptional onboard services.

Reaching a top speed of 230 km/h, the Railjet can make the journey in just over 2 and a half hours non-stop.
From Vienna, Austria, you’ll travel to one of the most intriguing places around the globe: Budapest, Hungary. Because of its picturesque surroundings and striking architecture, this regal city is often called “Paris of the East”. Budapest is divided by the famous Danube, one of Europe’s longest-running rivers, with the majestic Széchenyi Chain Bridge linking the city’s two territories. Key tourist attractions include the Széchenyi Thermal Bath, Hungarian State Opera House, Buda Castle, St. Stephen’s Basilica and Margaret Island.
