Pack your bags: Regiojet to launch affordable train to Budapest this summer

It will take six hours and 46 minutes to get to Budapest’s Kelenföld Station. The train will also stop in Hegyeshalom as well as Hungarian spas Mosonmagyarovar and Györ.

The train will arrive in Budapest after noon and again after 10 p.m.; it will leave back to Prague at 5:45 a.m. and 12:25 p.m.

Standard tickets on the Regiojet train will start at 539 Crowns, a comparable price to the Czech Railways train. However, a lower class ticket will cost just 399 Crowns until the price is sold out. It’s a much cheaper option than the Austrian railways tickets from Vienna to Budapest, which cost between 240 to 360 Crowns.

“As on other lines, the prices are set so that the operation of trains is profitable,” spokesman Ondrůj said.
