About Vienna

Wien Hauptbahnhof is Austria's largest and most modern railway terminus, opened in 2014 on the site of the former Wien Südbahnhof after a decade-long redevelopment project that cost over one billion euros. The station is a through-running hub rather than a traditional terminus, handling all major long-distance services including Railjet, Nightjet, and Eurocity trains to destinations across Germany, Italy, Hungary, and beyond, as well as Westbahn services to Salzburg. Fully integrated with the Vienna U-Bahn, S-Bahn, and tram network, it is one of Central Europe's most important passenger interchange hubs.

Wien Hauptbahnhof is Austria's principal long-distance terminal, handling Railjet and ICE services to Budapest, Bratislava, Prague, Munich, and Zurich. Nightjet sleeper trains to Hamburg, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Rome also depart from here.

The modern station, opened in 2015, offers an extensive shopping mall, supermarkets open on Sundays, a wide variety of restaurants, and a DB/ÖBB joint travel centre. Luggage lockers, a pharmacy, and dedicated quiet zones for waiting passengers are also on site.

The City Airport Train (CAT) departs from Wien Mitte, two stops from Hauptbahnhof on U-Bahn U1, reaching the airport in 16 minutes. The cheaper S7 S-Bahn service, also accessed from Wien Mitte, takes around 25 minutes and runs throughout the day and night.

Multiple banks of self-service luggage lockers are located on the ground and lower levels of Wien Hauptbahnhof. A staffed left-luggage counter handles oversized items and operates during extended hours on weekdays and weekends.
