Dear Friends
For train schedules, check out this Web site: http://www.bahn.com/i/view/USA/en/index.shtml
Your current itinerary is too ambitious and will leave you exhausted. Suggest you pare your itinerary to three places: Vienna, Budapest and Prague. It's possible to do Bratislava as a daytrip from Vienna.
Prague is closer to Vienna than Budapest, so the train trip to Prague from Vienna will be shorter.
For discount "Sparschiene" tickets from Vienna to Budapest and Prague, check out Austrian Federal Railways: http://www.oebb.at/en/index.jsp
If you want to do the Tatras properly, you'll need to travel to both Slovakia and Poland. Since your itinerary only is for 15 days, you don't have enough time to do it.
I've been to all the places you have on your itinerary. Hope this helps.
I agree it's ambitious but most of it's not a crazy schedule. Some of those travel days only involve about an hours travelling.
I'd say rather that it's practical to do Vienna as a daytrip from bratislava - much cheaper that way round.
Innsbruck is the bit which makes it difficult, I'd trim that out and do the rest:
Ljubliana - (Zagreb) - Budapest - Bratislava - Vienna - Prague.
I'd use the time saved having longer in Budapest, or you could attempt to do the Tatras mountains from Bratislava - although the only centre I've visited is Zakopane and that's a long way from bratislava. Maybe you'd get as good an outdoors time staying longer in Bled and seeing more of the national park there, the Vintgar Gorge or the lakes.
Ya I agree it is a little too ambitious. There are both trains and buses from budapest to Prague but buses will take a very long time. Id say spend more days in each city and get a more local feel rather than rushing through attractions. Also there are many food of each country that you need to sample.
