Can you cancel a train e-ticket purchased online through the Hungarian Mav-Start system, and receive a refund, if you are able to notify them before your trip? Can this be done online, or do you have to call the number and/or do this in person at the station? (if this is even possible) I tried to read the international travel regulations posted on the site, but they are hard to understand on this. Thanks.

Citrus Holidays have what sounds to be a great offer Budapest and Prague 5 nights with coach transfer between the two cities. Has anyone booked this trip ? Any feedback will be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I will be in Budapest on Saturday 25th, day of the Champions League final! Can anyone kindly recommend a good lounge bar where I can have dinner and watch the game? I am not looking for a sports bar but rather a lounge/cocktail bar in city centre.

Also, I know this is highly subjective, but I'd love to hear from locals of great restaurants in central Budapest!

Thank you in anticipation,
K

I understand that travel is free for EU nationals aged over 65. To take advantage of this, do you still have to obtain some sort of ticket, or does it suffice to carry ID for inspection? Thank you in advance for any information.

I am going to Budapest in May and planning to go bathing in the Szechenyi Baths.
However I would like to visit some other baths to view the architecture.
Is it possible to do this without bathing as I won't have enough time to do more then one bath.
It's impossible to find this information on the website of the different baths like Gellert and Rudas.

Another question. Which cruise on the Danube is the most interesting. I only want to take the cruise and I am not interesting in dining on board. I am mostly interesting in the views and it's not necessary to have a guide or headphone on board. Do the different companies all roundtrips or is there also a possibility to buy a one way ticket to a certain point in Budapest and then return later by boat or another mean of transport?

Hey Folks,

I'm traveling to Europe for the first time next month! My wife and I don't have a lot of time left to prepare for the trip, so I need some advice from those in the know. Our first destination is Vienna, then on to Budapest. After our stay in Budapest, we are making our way to Venice. We'd like to do this leg in two days with a night stay-over along the way. However, I'm having no luck finding a good train route, and I'm not sure of any great towns or cities in which we can spend the night. We'd prefer not to go through Vienna again from Budapest, since we'll be heading back there to fly out. If possible, we'd like to take the most scenic route (obviously). Since it will really be two train rides, which of the two is the more scenic? Perhaps we can bump up to first class on that leg.

So, please help us find our way! Additionally, we could also use suggestions on the best route from Venice to Vienna. We'd most likely do that leg in one day.

Any advice about our travels would be quite welcome,
-Don
