Hi All,
I'm heading out on a trip to Munich, Salzburg, Vienna and Budapest in a couple weeks and have some transit related questions please.
Am I correct in thinking that both the Bayern ticket (including 1st class Bayern) and the Bratislava ticket can be purchased at kiosks at the main train stations? There's no validation needed for these, right?
What is the exact name of the 15 day transit pass in Budapest? I'm looking to buy a paper pass at Keleti station upon arrival. Any validation needed with this one or do I just need to have it on me?
In Vienna, I'm looking at the 7 day Vienna ticket online through Wien Mobil. I prefer paper tickets so I'm looking at purchasing online and printing the pdf. I read i need to validate these in the blue machines. Is that only one time and then it stays in my bag or is it every time?
What's the best option for Salzburg? We're there 4 days with trips to Hellbrunn Palace and the Wolfgangsee area via bus 150. I'm thinking a standard pass wouldn't include that region. Can I buy it on the bus? How?
For Munich, I'm only looking at a few trips on 1 day, so not sure a pass is needed. Is it simple to buy individual tickets and obvious how to validate them?
As you can probably tell, I'm quite nervous to do something wrong and end up paying a stiff fine like I've read about. Just trying to be as informed as possible.
I really appreciate any and all help.
Thank you,
PQ
