Your Complete Guide to Train Travel in Austria
Austria uses rail for both intercity travel and daily regional links. OBB, the national operator, runs Railjet and Railjet Express trains from Wien Hauptbahnhof to Salzburg, Graz, Innsbruck, Linz, Klagenfurt, and Villach. Vienna to Salzburg takes about 2 hours 22 minutes on the fastest Railjet services, while Vienna to Graz takes about 2 hours 35 minutes over the Semmering route. WESTbahn also operates open-access trains on the western corridor, linking Wien Westbahnhof and Wien Hauptbahnhof with Linz, Salzburg, and Innsbruck.
OBB Cityjet trains handle many regional routes around Vienna, Lower Austria, Styria, Tyrol, and Carinthia. Nightjet, also run by OBB, connects Austrian cities with several European destinations, while domestic daytime travel remains the core choice for most tickets inside Austria. Major stations include Wien Hauptbahnhof, Salzburg Hauptbahnhof, Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof, Graz Hauptbahnhof, and Linz Hauptbahnhof. Austria has no 300 km/h high-speed network, but Railjet trains reach up to 230 km/h on upgraded main lines.
