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.
