Hello, I'm thinking (not sure yet) in going to Budapest this summer, but I pretend also going to Slovenia to visit some friends, in a small town there.

This town is very close the Hungary/Slovenia frontier (about 6 km from Lenti).

I want to catch a train from Budapest to Lenti (about 300km from Budapest), and then cross the frontier by taxi (about 6km from Lenti).

I need to know the average prices, both train and taxi. For what I've seen on internet, the train Budapest-Lenti costs about from 3500 to 5000 Forints.

The Taxi between Lenti and the Slovenia frontier I don't know. Taxis are expensive in Hungary?

and what about Bus, what is the average price of a 300km travel? cheaper than train?

:cheers:

Train from Budapest to Lenti is between 3800HUF(regular train all the way) vs 5300HUF partially with IC. Fastest is 5:30,longest is 11:18 long.

A question...why not take the train all along? I dont know if taxis can take you over the border...International buses dont serve local lines,most probably wont even stop at the border,since we're both in Schengen...

thanks for your answer!

I need to go to Lendava (Slovenia). It's about 6 or 7km from Lenti. http://www.orbe.com/slovenija/slomap/map.jpg

For what I've seen on other maps, Lenti it's the closest train station. I will stay just a few days there and then go back to Budapest.

some years ago I've been in Switzerland (Geneve), and one time I have crossed the Swiss/French frontier (3 km travel) using taxi without any problems. But it was expensive...

I have payed the plane ticket today :) I arrive 4th August :banana:
