There currently are a variety of options to travel by night bus or night train from Prague (Czech Republic) to Budapest (Hungary), taking between approximately 7 and 8 hours: Namely the BUS Praha - Budapešť and the EN 40457. These lines are operated by Regiojet and ÖBB.
Regiojet operates both night trains and night buses across Europe, providing various travel options.
Regiojet night trains offer a range of cabin options, from standard reclining seats in open compartments to private couchette cabins designed for one to four travelers, complete with bedding and duvets for a restful journey. Wifi is available and breakfast and coffee are served for free.
The night buses are designed with comfortable, spacious seats that recline, providing ample legroom. Each bus is equipped with individual power outlets, free hot drings, free WiFi, and onboard entertainment systems to enhance the travel experience. Buses also feature a toilet.
The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) operate the Nightjet and Euronight trains (the latter together with other national railway agencies).
ÖBB night trains typically feature four types of carriages: seats, couchettes, the compact Mini Cabin, and sleepers.
Seats are for the bravest, while couchettes, Mini Cabins, and sleepers provide a more comfortable journey. In the couchettes, you can find simple and rather narrow berths. The Mini Cabin is a compact sleeping option for solo travelers – two Mini Cabins can be combined for couples. Sleepers are equipped with proper beds and sometimes even a private bathroom. Couchettes accommodate up to six people, Mini Cabins are designed for one person each but two can be combined for couples, while sleepers are private compartments for one to three people.
Sleepers sometimes include a private bathroom or even a shower, sometimes only a sink. The Mini Cabin offers a more affordable private alternative with its own compact sleeping space for one person.
