Online mumkun de istansyondan da alabilirsiniz. Ancak uygun fiyatli biletlere internetten bakmakta fayda var. Linki unutum, bulursam yazarim.

Otobus ucuz. Tren pahali.
Oraya gidince de alabilirsiniz ama gittiginizde daha pahali olur.
Illa tren derseniz oebb.at sitesine bakin, promosyonlu biletler oluyor, onu yakalarsiniz belki. 19€dan basliyor o promosyonlu biletler. Normal fiyatsa 40-50€ olmali sanki.
Otobus icinse orangeways e bakin, 12-13€ civari.

Budapest to Vienna from €13...
Modern Austrian Railjet trains and the occasional air-conditioned Hungarian EuroCity train link Budapest with Vienna in only 2h38, leaving every hour or two throughout the day. Easily the best option between these cities!
Trains leave from Budapest Keleti station and arrive at the new Vienna Hauptbahnhof - many then continue to Vienna Meidling. From 13 December 2015 international trains no longer serve Vienna Westbahnhof. You can get off at whichever station is most convenient for your hotel, it's the same price.
Cheap advance-purchase fares start at only €13 in 2nd class or €29 in 1st class if you pre-book online. On the day at the station you can buy a ticket for €29 in 2nd class if you follow the advice below.
You can buy a ticket at the station on the day if you like... Reservation is not compulsory so these Budapest-Vienna trains can never sell out and you don't need to pre-book if you don't want to. It's easy to buy tickets at the station on the day. From Budapest to Vienna, ask for a €29 unlimited-availability 4-day return ÖBB Austria TripTicket even if you're only going one-way as this is cheaper than paying the €37 full-price one-way fare and you can simply throw away the return half. That's what everyone does! There's no 1st class Austria TripTicket, so if you insist on going 1st class it's full-price €58 one-way, plus an extra €15 if you want the deluxe Railjet business class (see the Railjet page).
But it's cheaper to book in advance. You can buy tickets online from either the Austrian or Hungarian railway websites, each with advantages and disadvantages as explained below - I'd check prices at both, as sometimes one has cheaper fares available than the other.
- Option 1, buy tickets at the Hungarian Railways website www.mavcsoport.hu with ticket collection from the ticket machines at Budapest Keleti, with fares from €13 in 2nd class or €29 in 1st class. I find that the Hungarian Railways site often has cheaper fares available than the Austrian one for the same train, but you can't book Business class this way and booking only opens 60 days before departure. As tickets need to be collected in Hungary, don't try and use mavcsoport.hu to book journeys starting outside Hungary. See my general tips for using mavcsoport.hu & how you collect your tickets.
- Option 2, buy tickets at the Austrian Railways website www.oebb.at with print-at-home tickets, fares from €19 in 2nd class or €29 in 1st class. The advantages of using oebb.at are that you can choose an exact seat from a numbered seating plan, you can book Business class as well as 1st & 2nd class, and booking opens 90 days before departure rather than 60. You can use oebb.at to buy tickets in either direction, as tickets are print-at-home.
Booking tips if you use mavcsoport.hu...
Tip 1, the MAV website only sells special limited-availability cheap tickets plus the unlimited availability Austria TripTicket round trip fare. It cannot sell full-price regular tickets when the cheap deals sell out. So when the cheap fares sell out for a given train in a given class, that train disappears from the search results. And if there are no cheap fares left at all on any train that date in the class you have selected, it shows 'no offers available'. If this happens, don't panic! The train is not full, nor can it be 'sold out'.
Tip 2, if you were trying for 2nd class, re-run the enquiry with 1st class selected. I've seen 'no offers available' in 2nd class the day before travel, but when I re-ran the enquiry as first class, a €29 1st class cheap ticket appeared, at least on some trains.
Tip 3, if you see no cheap fares on the train you want in either class, re-run the enquiry with a dummy return journey set up for the following day. You'll then always see a €29 4-day 2nd class return fare (it's €39 with unlimited public transport in Vienna included) which is cheaper than paying the €39 full-price one-way fare. In fact, as this 4-day return has unlimited availability you can buy it in person at the station on the day, but it saves time to buy it online and collect it from the blue internet ticket collection machines.
Seat reservation is optional on Railjet trains, for a small extra fee. Adding a seat reservation is a good idea if you plan to travel at busy times or if there's a small group of you and you want to be sure of seats together, but it's by no means essential and when travelling solo I don't usually bother. If you arrive in good time for your train at Budapest Keleti where it starts, you'll usually have your pick of many empty unreserved seats. The electronic display on the wall next to each seat will show you which seats are available and which are reserved.
Railjet business class, a treat! You can't book the extra-comfort Railjet business class at www.mavcsoport.hu, but you CAN book it if you use the Austrian Railways site www.oebb.at instead. At www.oebb.at, simply book a 1st class ticket from Budapest to Vienna, look for the selector to make an optional seat reservation, then select the €15 Business class option. You can even choose an exact seat from a seating plan if you use www.oebb.at!
Alternatively, if you buy a 1st class ticket from www.mavcsoport.hu (which can sometimes be cheaper than oebb.at, depending how the price level quotas work) you can either pay the €15 fee on board the train (just find any empty business class seat and pay the conductor) or you can pay it at the international booking office at Budapest Keleti down a passageway off platform 6. It normally only takes a couple of minutes, a numbered queuing system operates and the staff understand enough English!
