Trains from Salzburg to Vienna

About the Salzburg to Vienna train

Salzburg Hauptbahnhof stands on the opposite bank of the Salzach from the old town; the walk from the old town to the station crosses the river and passes the Mirabell gardens. Set the date and passengers, and decide whether to book the return; each leg is searched on its own. The line runs east along the Alpine foreland, with the mountains gradually receding to the south, through Upper Austria, past Linz on the Danube, and on across the farmland and orchards of Lower Austria towards the capital. Wien Hauptbahnhof is south of the centre, a short walk from the Belvedere and its gardens, with tram and underground lines into the Innere Stadt. From here the rail network continues to Budapest, Prague and Munich, which is why many people treat Vienna as the hinge of a longer trip and give it more nights than they planned. The hotels on this page spread across the inner districts, from the streets behind the opera house to the quieter quarters beyond the Ring, and an Austria eSIM can be added for the stay.
