Munich, 28 April 2026 – In two weeks, it’s time once again for “12 points go to …” at the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna – and FlixBus is taking fans from across Europe straight to the heart of the action. During the event, more than 200 European cities in 17 countries will have direct, transfer-free connections to Vienna.  

A trip to Vienna is well worth it even for those who couldn’t get tickets for the Eurovision shows: a wide-ranging supporting program takes place across the entire city, turning Vienna into a meeting point for music fans from around the world. Tickets for FlixBus journeys are available from as little as €5.99 at www.flixbus.com, in the FlixBus app and at official sales points. 

Fans benefit from frequent departures to Vienna 

FlixBus offers direct connections from the following cities, among others (numbers refer to the entire Eurovision week from May 11 to 17): 

From Budapest: 192 rides per direction, fastest journey time 2h 50m
From Prague: 144 rides per direction, fastest journey time 4h 

From Zagreb: 82 rides per direction, fastest journey time 4h 50m

From Venice: 35 rides per direction, fastest journey time 7h 45m 

A sustainable and affordable travel option 

Travelling by long-distance bus is not only easy on the wallet, but also reduces your personal carbon footprint: on average, a FlixBus passenger in Europe generates more than ten times less CO₂ per driven passenger-kilometer¹ than flying and at least five times less than travelling by car². Additionally, fans arrive close to the city center with FlixBus and can therefore quickly dive into the ESC action.
