Train times from Budapest to Lake Balaton

Published train timetables sometimes change during the course of the year so the most accurate way of checking train times is by going directly to the Hungarian Railways website.  The section that deals with train timetables can be reached by clicking on the button below:

Further Information

Each train time is numbered and more detailed information is given below the main timetable, including the cost of the fare, the time the journey will take and whether you need to make a seat reservation or not.

If you need any help, please e-mail me and I will try to clarify things if I can.

Good luck with it.
