Good day. I am 60 yrs old. My wife is 62. Son is 20. Daughter 25. We are vacationing in Vienna in early June. We want to travel within Austria,take a 2 day trip to Venice(we want to travel there overnight) and hopefully day trips to Prague and Budapest. We’re new to this. What do you recommend as the most convenient vs least expensive trains. Thank you

A day trip to Prague doesn’t sound fun. It’s at least 4 hours each way, sometimes 5. Plus time to get to / from the station. You would have barely any time in Prague.
Brno would be a better bet if you want to visit Czechia.
Budapest is 2h40, which also makes for a long day. It’s also not a particularly compact city.
The night train is a good way to get to Venice.

If you put each origin and destination into this page on Seat61, it will give you suggestions for the best route, Ave a guide to prices for cash tickets. You can then compare that with a pass.
