Title: Tickets Train Budapest- Moscow
Post by: valsoph on March 22, 2014, 10:41:13 am

Hi,

I want to travel with the direct train from Budapest to Moscow. I took it once and bought the tickets at DB Reisezentrum, but spent around 250 Euro per Person in 2berth cabin. Now we would like to go in 3berth cabin, is there any chance to get them cheaper? I heard maybe it should be possible to buy just the reservation from DB and the ticket in Budapest at the station?

Best!

Yes, it will be a smart choice, since the price of the reservation is the same either you buy it via DB terminal or at MAV ticket counter in Hungary. While ticket prices are different, because in Germany (or elsewhere besides Hungary/Russia) special MAV-RZD discounts aren't applied.
As of now 2/3 reservation Budapest-Moscow costs 32 euro, 2nd class ticket Budapest-Moscow (when bought in Hungary) is only 117,8 euro
