- codethief 6y agoI think it's Austria. As far as I remember the train Berlin <> Budapest passes through Vienna. (I'm surprised, though, that the train would pass through five countries. AFAIK it doesn't pass through the Czech Republic.)
- andrewshadura 6y agoWhile there are multiple routes, I believe this one you're talking about has to go through Prague.
- fivecountries 6y agoNo. Before 1989 the train connecting Berlin-Prague-Bratislava-Budapest would not cross the iron curtain. The only thing that changed a few years ago is Prague. Changed for SW Poland.
- fivecountries 6y agoDE, PL, CZ, SK, HU It does not run through Prague. It runs through Poland and then crosses CZ from Ostrava to Břeclav. Then SK (Kúty, Bratislava, Štúrovo) and then HU. Actually in central Europe the night trains usually join and split at some stations, so in Ostrava two trains join: from Berlin and from Warsaw. Then in Břeclav they split again (two halves from each half), one goes to Vienna, another to Budapest. So at the beginning there are two parts on each train and you have to choose the right one. But since the places have to be reserved, you cannot get on the wrong half.
- gpvos 6y agoWestern Europe too: in Hannover there used to be a great switcheroo between the coaches to and from Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Warsaw/Prague (split in Berlin), and Basel. The currently suspended night train to Lisbon also split into parts to Madrid and the French border halfway.
