I'm at the Vienna main station right now or the Vienna Central Station
and usually I'm very confused on where to go, what train to catch, what track, what platform...
This is comparing it to Bratislava, Budapest and Lisbon.
I've been confused on which train track to take
and when I ask information, they always tell me to just check the signs or they point to something
and it's very frustrating and confusing
but here, it's very easy to tell.
There's digital boards everywhere and announcements all the time.
It'll tell you what platform to go to like at an airport, so it's super easy to navigate.
We got here an hour before our train... or 45 minutes before our train
so our our train wasn't up on the digital board yet but we just waited 10 more minutes and it showed up
because it all goes in order
and it said Platform 9 because we're going from Vienna to Budapest today and it's a 3-hour ride.
The sign said 9 C through E. I wasn't sure what that was
but it's referring to the signs on the platform.
It says 10 A, 10 B, etc. It just depends on where the train stops so that's where you line up or wait for your train.
I really love this station. It's so modern, so clean, and so easy to navigate.
This is how all train stations should be, but I get it. Smaller towns don't have that much money.
Vienna is huge and it seems like they have tons of money so they could build stations like this.

We're in 27 I believe, so I think we're all the way down there.

We made it on the train and we were right. It was Track 9 C through E.
If you go on the other side, A through B, that train goes somewhere else,
so make sure you look at the letters too.
These business class seats are awesome.
First of all, they have a personal monitor that tells us where we're going.
We have these nice comfy seats.
Does that go out? Oh, it does. You can stretch out your legs.
Wes is already enjoying it.
We have an outlet, which I'm really happy about because I can plug in my laptop and work.
Each seat has their own outlet.
I hope nobody sits here across from us because that'll be really uncomfortable but it might happen.
We put our luggage up there.
This is nice.
We have our own little section.

The only thing that wasn't nice was that somebody left trash around here
and nobody cleaned it up so I just had to put itover there.
Oh, we're already leaving. Yay!
That went by super fast.
Bye Vienna!

Lots of construction.
Yeah, there's a lot of growth happening.

Well, the train journey is coming to an end.
We'll be in Budapest in about 30 minutes.
The last station is Budapest-Keleti, but we're actually going to get off at Budapest-Kelenföld
because we're staying on the Buda side this time and traffic is better on the Buda side
and that's where Kelenföld is, so we're just going to get off there.
That's at 4:05 and the last stop is at 4:20 so we'll be saving some time.
The train ride was very comfortable and it went by super fast.
It always goes by too fast for me because I really enjoy train rides in Europe
but this one was probably, by far, the best train ride I've been on
probably because we're on the business side
but when I walked through the first class, it looked really nice too.
They also have like their own outlets.
This train actually has a restaurant on it too which was pretty cool
and they have a lot of items like snacks, drinks, and desserts.
If you're going from Vienna to Budapest or vice-versa definitely get on this train.
Two and a half hours to three hours and it goes by super quick.
And it's very nice.
