Journey time and frequency
The current published timetable shows several direct services each day. A typical Subotica to Szeged trip takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. Border checks are part of the journey, so actual running time may vary.
Do not rely on a time remembered from a previous trip. Open the current timetable for your date, particularly around weekends and holidays.
Stops and border checks
The train leaves Subotica’s main station and terminates at Szeged station. Depending on the service, stops may include Palić, Hajdukovo, Bački Vinogradi, Horgoš, Röszke, and Szentmihálytelek. Open the train details for the exact list.
This is an international journey. Carry a valid travel document and keep it accessible during checks. Hungarian entry requirements depend on nationality; holding a train ticket does not prove that you meet border or visa conditions.
