I'm seeking suggestions on train travel. Will be taking the train into Budapest on December 24th. About 50% of our travels to european countries, we have little to no difficulty using the trains. However, other times we have encountered inability to find correct or accurate time schedules, which track to get the train on, ticket purchasing... Very frustrating. Would it be best to discuss this with the concierge at our Vienna hotel? or use the app?
Also trying to decide whether to purchase a city pass in both cities for using public transportation. I think in Vienna since we aren't EU citizens we would pay even though we are both 70 yrs old. And if I'm understanding Hungary's system, we would not have to pay because of our age.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as always!
