Estaciones de tren

Austria's rail network is operated by OBB (Osterreichische Bundesbahnen), which runs one of Europe's most passenger-friendly rail systems. The flagship Railjet trains connect Viena to Salzburg in 2h25m, Viena to Graz in 2h35m, and extend internationally to Múnich, Zúrich, Budapest, and Praga at speeds up to 230 km/h. OBB has dramatically revived European night train travel through its Nightjet brand, which operates overnight services to over 20 destinations including Roma, París, Hamburg, Ámsterdam, and Bruselas -- making Austria the continent's night train hub. Austria's geography -- dominated by the Alps -- requires extensive tunneling and mountain engineering. The Semmering Railway (opened 1854) was the world's first mountain railway built by steam power and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Arlberg, Tauern, and Brenner routes provide key east-west and north-south corridors. Regional services (Schnellbahn S-Bahn) cover the Viena metropolitan area and provincial hubs. The Westbahn private operator competes with OBB on the Viena-Salzburg corridor, offering competitive fares. The OBB Vorteilscard (EUR 66/year) gives 50% discount on all OBB domestic fares, paying for itself in just a few journeys. OBB's Sparschiene advance fares start from EUR 9.90 for domestic routes. The Eurail/Interrail Austria Pass and Global Pass cover all OBB trains. OBB Nightjet trains offer couchette and private sleeping compartment options, with all-inclusive prices covering dinner, breakfast, and bed linens.

The Semmering Railway (1848-1854) was the world's first mountain railway built by steam locomotives and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It crosses the Semmering Pass between Gloggnitz and Murzzuschlag with 14 tunnels and 16 viaducts. Regular regional trains still use this historic route today.

The Vorteilscard gives 50% off all OBB domestic fares for one year (EUR 66). It pays for itself after just 2-3 long-distance journeys. However, it requires a photo ID and is better suited to those spending 2+ weeks in Austria or making multiple train trips. Eurail/Interrail passes may be more practical for shorter visits.

The Semmering Railway through the Viena Alps is a UNESCO-listed journey. The Arlberg route connecting Innsbruck to Bregenz passes through dramatic Alpine scenery and the Arlberg Tunnel. The Schafbergbahn rack railway near St. Wolfgang and the Achenseebahn steam railway in Tyrol are beloved heritage lines.
