About Vienna

Wien Westbahnhof was historically Vienna's gateway to Western Europe, handling trains to Salzburg, Munich, and Zurich for much of the 20th century. Following a major redevelopment completed in 2012, it became the terminus for WESTbahn private intercity services to Salzburg and is now anchored within a large retail and transport hub. The station also serves as a key node on Vienna's U3 and U6 metro lines, providing seamless transfers between rail and urban transit.
