We took a day to Budapest from Vienna via train at only 39euro return. But you need to purchase the ticket at the larger station. >>

When we reached Budapest is like 12 noon. Our itinerary as follows:
Castle District & Fisherman's Bastion
Castle Hill, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, consists of two parts: the Royal Palace itself and the so-called Castle District
Getting to Castle District: either take trams 4, 6 to Széll Kálmán tér then walk up to the district, or get on the Castle bus (No. 16, it departs from Deák tér - a metro hub of the city - if it's more convenient for you) or take the Funicular from Clark Adam Square at the Buda end of Chain Bridge (Lánchíd). This way you get a closer view of the first permanent bridge of Budapest that became the symbol of the Hungarian capital.
No need to buy any tickets. dont go and buy tickets to go Fisherman's Bastion . U can just take photo and see the view from the restuarant.
