Train from Venice to Budapest
The train is a popular mode of transportation from Venice to Budapest. The route sits on one of the most demanding interrail trails. So, it's often crowded from late spring to early fall.
No direct services are available. But by booking with the German train operator OBB, you'll only need to change once in Vienna or Salzburg. Trenitalia is a longer yet more cost-effective option where you depart at Verona and transfer twice more en route before arriving at Budapest-Kelenfold.
Lowest/average ticket cost: $43/$60 (€40-€56)
Shortest/average duration: 10 hours, 11 minutes, 12 hours, 47 minutes

Bus from Venice to Budapest
The bus is best if you're
traveling to Europe on a budget. It's a cheap way to transfer between the cities. And since it's one of the only direct modes of transportation, it's surprisingly one of the most convenient.
Flixbus offers several daily connections that also run at night. Many backpackers catch a late-night or early-morning coach to save money on a hotel room. The downside is that the lack of space onboard can make for an uncomfortable 13-hour trip.
Lowest/average ticket cost: $33/$59 (€31-€55)
Shortest/average duration: 9 hours, 50 minutes, 13 hours, 20 minutes
Earliest/last departure: 1:50 AM–10:45 PM
Average daily direct buses: 9
