Your Complete Guide to Train Travel in Hungary
Hungary uses Budapest as the center of its passenger rail network. State-owned MAV-START runs most domestic trains, while GYSEV operates regional services in western Hungary around Sopron, Szombathely, and Gyor. InterCity trains connect Budapest Keleti, Budapest Nyugati, Budapest Deli, and Budapest Kelenfold with major cities across the country. Budapest to Debrecen takes about 2 hours 30 minutes on many InterCity services, and Budapest to Szeged takes about 2 hours 20 minutes from Nyugati. Seat reservations are required on many InterCity trains.
MAV-START also runs regional and fast passenger trains to Lake Balaton, Pecs, Miskolc, Nyiregyhaza, and Szolnok. Budapest Deli handles many Balaton and Transdanubian departures, while Budapest Keleti serves eastern and northeastern routes. Hungary has no domestic high-speed rail, so the main ticket choice is usually between InterCity, express, and regional services. Some newer IC+ coaches include air conditioning, power sockets, and first-class seating on selected routes. Rail Monsters sells individual valid tickets for Hungarian train travel where supported.
