To get there you just need to get to metro lines 2 or 4. Keleti train station\u00a0tends to be a little messy in peak hours particularly when there are too many tourists There are several supermarkets, bakeries and fast food joints where you can have dinner and buy food for your long journey.<\/p>\n<p>As we said above, these are night trains and they depart at night so unfortunately in the first hours you won\u2019t be able to enjoy any scenery. In fact, you won\u2019t be able to see anything in Hungary at all. A few minutes into the trip the Stewert\u00a0will come to check your tickets. Note that he will keep it until the end of the trip.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-the-Ister-Train.jpg\" alt=\"How is the Budapest- Bucharest train trip\" class=\"wp-image-9617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-the-Ister-Train.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-the-Ister-Train-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-the-Ister-Train-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-the-Ister-Train-520x292.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-the-Ister-Train.jpg\" alt=\"How is the Budapest- Bucharest train trip\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-9617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-the-Ister-Train.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-the-Ister-Train-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-the-Ister-Train-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/how-to-the-Ister-Train-520x292.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><figcaption>The Budapest- Bucharest train trip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hows_the_border_crossing_between_Hungary_and_Romania\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How%E2%80%99s_the_border_crossing_between_Hungary_and_Romania\"><\/span>How\u2019s the border crossing between Hungary and Romania?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The border crossing h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens around midnight and takes more than an hour.
