Local Train Stations

Westbahnhof

Austrian Federal Railroads (ÖBB) offer excellent railroad service to all major towns of the country and also direct connections with all major cities in Europe. Trains are well maintained and fares are reasonable.

Note!
You might want to check out the ÖBB VORTEILScards, which give you up to 50% discounts on train tickets. If you are under 26 years old you only pay 19 euros for a full year, otherwise it’s 99 euros. They also have special offers for seniors and family cards. Either way, if you plan on travelling a bit, the card pays for itself after three or four trips.

The Westbahn is a small private train company, which offers hourly rides from Vienna Westbahnhof to Salzburg, passing through Linz. The fares are slightly lower, but the trains a bit slower than ÖBB’s.
