Visit the Austrian capital from Europe's great cities - such as Prague, Munich, Venice, Budapest and Krakow - the green way on direct cross-border services.

Vienna is one of Europe’s great cities, and for those into environmentally-friendly, green travel, it is one of Europe’s biggest rail hubs. Direct cross-border services from some of Europe’s other great cities – such as Prague (Czech Republic), Munich (Germany), Venice (Italy), Budapest (Hungary) and Krakow (Poland) arrive at Vienna’s main train station.

Meanwhile, if travelling from countries such as Slovakia, Slovenia and Croatia, it is worth looking at the train timetable rather than automatically heading to the airport for a cheap flight – cities such as Ljubljana, Zagreb and Bratislava are a lot closer than many visitors think.

Vienna itself is fabulous city, steeped in as much history as can be expected from the former seat of power for the Hapsburg dynasty. The Austrian capital city is known for its culture – it was home to many great composers, such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, during their lives. Classical music and theatre performances can be found all over the city.

The city is also blessed with the Danube River and the Spanish Riding School, home of the elaborate dancing dressage shows from the immaculately turned-out Lipizzaner Stallions.

As can be expected from such a major city, Vienna also boasts many top class cafes, bars, restaurants and hotels at a variety of price ranges (although many veer towards the expensive).

For visitors planning to visit Vienna, Austria, here is a list of train times to the city using the quickest direct cross-border service.
