   This site gives pertinent information for travel to Budapest and also within Hungary. Notable mentions: There are six daily trains that connect Prague and Budapest, and Hungarian ticket agents speak very little English. If you read through the web page, Frommer's offers some helpful Hungarian lingo for conversing with the ticket agents. Also, travel within Hungary (if you are planning other stops) is rather efficient and trains usually run on time. You can access a train schedule at www.elvira.com.
