It is not possible to buy train tickets online. Consider traveling by bus. It is cheaper, more flexible and takes the same time. Buy bus tickets here!
There is a direct connection between the cities. A EuroCity train shuttles approximately every 2 hours and it takes only 2 hours and 40 minutes. Bratislava's central station is called Bratislava - hlavná stanica, often shortened to Bratislava- hl. st. in some occasions. In Budapest you will arrive to/depart from the Budapest Keleti station.
Ticket | Normal tariff | Reduced tariff |
---|---|---|
Return ticket | 17,50€ | 8,75€ |
One-way ticket | app. 15€ | app. 7,5€ |
You can buy a ticket directly at the station, however, it is not possible to do so on the Internet. You will not get a reservation of a seat, so you can sit anywhere in the 2nd class. Visit the Official Slovak Rail website (SK) for more information.
The train shuttles every 2 hours from both stations. The first train from Bratislava departs at 5:50 and the last direct one at 19:54. From Budapest, the first one departs at 5:25 and the last direct one at 17:25. Final train departs at 20:05. The journey takes 2 hours and 41 minutes in both directions.

Additional questions- sorry!! What do you recommend as the best way to travel around Slovakia - we have 3 days. Does it make more sense to rent a car? Appreciate your insight on that. At the end of our trip we then need to transfer to Vienna to fly home - is it best to take a bus or train? THANKS AGAIN!

I'm trying to figure out if it's easier to take a bus or train from Budapest to Bratislava. They seem to take about the same amount of time and don't cost too much different from my research, but I could be totally wrong. I'm getting confused! I'd appreciate any advice. THANK YOU!
