Oh yeah, I’d be nice to have the prices and times of the trains too!
Thanks!

According to Bahn.de, there are plenty of connections during the day, but only 1 train with no connections — the Euronight train departing Budapest at 5 p.m. and arriving Venice 7:16 a.m. next morning. http://www.mav-start… confirms it but I couldn’t get it to show a fare.

99% of search engines are up to date. At least most of the search engines on websites of respective railway companies.

There are many connections between Budapest and Venezia, most of them with transfer in Vienna or Zagreb. There is also one direct train which requires no transfers, it’s the EuroNight #240 “Venezia”, leaving Budapest Keleti station (East Sta.) daily at 17:00 and arriving to Venezia Santa Lucia station at 07:16 the next morning.

Usually a price for sleeping in such train consists of two subunits: fare according to kilometrage and a supplement for a bed or a couchette. Unless there is a price special like Sparnight, where prices start as low as 29 EUR for the whole journey AND a couchette. Since your starting point is Budapest, please contact the Hungarian Railways to ask them about the price. The address is informacio@mav-start.hu or telephone No. + (36-1) 444-4499, where the plus sign is “011” if you’re calling from a North America, and “00” if you’re calling from Europe. It should be very cheap from Skype or such services (it’s a landline, not a mobile number), just remember that it’s six hours later in Budapest than in NYC.
