Yes. Also few interesting facts:
- Venice->Budapest is a mere 55 Euro (buy at the station), with "Fortuna" or "Smart" tariff (7 days advance) it's 29 Euro by train. The sleeper supplement is no more than 25 Euro. - Budapest->Vienna is from 13 Euro to 29 Euro (29: round-trip, that includes local transport in Vienna for 4 days!) - Budapest<->Bratislava is 16 Euro regular price by train round-trip - Bratislava<->Vienna is 9.2 Euro Euro regular price by train round-trip, that includes 4 days local transportation in Vienna. That means... for 29+16+9.2 = 54 Euro (1 week advance or buy from Tranitalia web site) you can have a Budapest and Bratislava and 4 days local transport in Vienna. Without advance purchase it will be 55+16+9.2 = 80.2 Euro. 25 Euro more and you saved on hotel having the sleeper to Budapest. All this is much more if you go Venice-Vienna directly. Besides, you won't have Budapest and Bratislava included for free!

BTW: Venice-Vienna fro 29 Euro does exist, too. But the space is VERY limited, unlike on the train to Budapest. This way you can beat the Italian reservation system by using the route to Budapest.

There is a EuroCity train which leaves Vienna Santa Lucia at 8.46am every morning and travels directly to Vienna Sudbahnhof with no changes required. The duration of the journey is a little over 8 hours. The route is extremely scenic, you should really enjoy it.

Don't waste your time on a train for that much time. That's nuts. You can get a plane for less money and make the most out of precious vacation time. Take Sky Europe from Vienna to Venice Treviso Airport. There will be buses outside timed with airlines coming in that take that directly to Piazza Roma in Venice.
To price compare also check: easyjet and ryanair. I personally took Sky Europe due to a sale, but all of these companies are fine. I believe the flight took 1 to 1.5 hours.
