Zac, this is the how to travel to Wien (Westbahnhof, Südbahnhof, Meidling) from Budapest train guide: http://budapestblog.luxuryhotelsbudapest.com/trains-from-vienna-to-budapest-how-to-travel-cheap-by-train/
Hope this helps. There are some trains (few) that reach Vienna in 3 hours, most of the trips take 4-5 hours though.
The Hungarian online train ticket purchase system is still quite lame, sorry about that. Best to buy the train ticket in person. Currently a return full fare adult ticket from Budapest to Wien is between 25 and 31 euros. Tickets are to be paid in Hungarian forints as Hungary is not part of the euro zone.
Have a nice trip.

Hi Anna,

thank you for your quick response. Cost is also a factor, but I think time is more important.How long does it take to reach Vienna by train?And what’s the cost for a return ticket? Suppose I’ve a day to spare in Budapest and want to visit another city,except Vienna, or location..is there any proposal you can make?Thanks again for everything.

Hell Zac, I don’t know about your travel preferences, so it is really up to you which type of journey you prefer. (personally I am a train type of person, love the sound and atmosphere of trains, find them more environment friendly, and trust the railway more than the motorway when it’s about safety). The Budapest-Vienna hydrofoil is a really special option, the boat trip takes quite long (more than 6 hours) and is very relaxed with lots of scenery to look at. If you have a lot of time to kill, it is a nice way to cover the distance between Wien and Budapest (currently a return ticket is 109.00 EUR for an adult). Compared with the bus: the bus trip takes about 3-4 hours, and costs about 11-22 euros for a return ticket – if cheap price is the most important factor in your decision.
