What you'll see
Luckily enough, Budapest and Vienna are so close to each other that the entire trip can be covered in a couple of hours. However, if you don’t want to risk a train ride and travelling in a crowded bus is not an option, our Vienna - Budapest Car Transfer is just the thing you’re looking for.
Your driver will pick you up at the requested location, brief you about the journey, put your luggage into the car (there’s plenty of room for it) and drive you to your destination. It’s really that simple. Since it’s almost a 3 hour-ride, you might also want to stop for a short break but that’s perfectly okay with us. Just let your driver know and he’ll be happy to take you to the nearest gas station where you can freshen up.
OPTIONAL: The great thing about Europe is that you only have to drive for a few hours to see a completely different country with a completely different culture and language. If you’re someone who can’t say no to a random city break, don’t miss Bratislava on your way to Budapest! The Slovakian capital might be smaller than most European cities but it is just as captivating. Your driver will drop you off in the heart of the Old Town so you can explore the medieval section of Bratislava on your own. This extension will grant you 2 hours of free time in the city so you’ll have plenty of time for lunch as well before you continue your journey to Austria.
