Trains from Istanbul to Budapest
I am looking at travelling from Istanbul to Budapest by train in early December. Any information as to train or bus services would be wonderful. Also should I purchase rail tickets before I leave Australia or is it just as easy to purchase once I'm over there as have no set plans,I just know which cities I want to go to and need to be in Malta by Christmas. Am looking at sleeper trains and how much time in advance we need to make a reservation. I'm travelling with my 11 yr old child.

for train schedules check www.bahn.de/en - for general info check www.seat61.com; www.ricksteves.com and www.budgeteuropetravel.com. You can I think take a night train to Budapest from maybe Sofia or some place.
