When applying for a Hungarian Schengen visa, it is necessary to prove that the number of days in Hungary is longer than the number of days in each of the other countries of the tourist trip. For example, provide information on the number of booked days / nights in hotels. In general, applying to the Hungarian consulate for a visa must take into account the fulfillment of one of the two conditions of the EU Visa Code: either Hungary is the country of the main residence or it will be the first on the route in which it is impossible to determine the country of main residence.

In general, this is a fairly common route for traveling to Hungary: Vienna is an hour and a half away from Budapest, there are more flights to Vienna and they are usually cheaper. As a rule, the Hungarian visa is not denied, if you attach tickets to Vienna, and not to Budapest - this is indeed the most "direct" way to Budapest. At the same time, in Vienna itself they will favorably favor a Hungarian visa if they present a copy of the invitation from Hungary.
