Advice Best Ways to Travel from Ljubljana to Budapest

Hello all, we were trying to find the best way to get from Ljubljana to Budapest. Flying requires some extra hassle with airports, and we were considering taking a train or a bus instead. Has anyone done this route before? What was your experience with the journey time, comfort, and cost? Any recommendations on which option is the best for enjoying the scenery along the way would be super helpful!

Traveling from Ljubljana to Budapest by train can be a fantastic choice! The journey typically takes around 8-10 hours, and you’ll be treated to beautiful landscapes along the way, especially as you pass through rolling hills and quaint towns. While the train can be more comfortable than a bus, I'd recommend checking the schedules in advance as they might not be super frequent. Have you thought about whether you prefer a more relaxed pace or are you looking to maximize your time in Budapest?

Also, don’t forget to bring a good book or some music to enjoy during the ride!
