By train
ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways)
Sparschiene
The tickets issued by Sparschiene Österreich and Sparschiene Europa are a particularly affordable way to travel. As these tickets are released in blocks, they should be booked as early as possible (up to six months before departure).
Night train
Whether in a standard seat, couchette or sleeper carriage, passengers will arrive at their destination rested and refreshed. Sparschiene tickets can also be booked on selected night trains. Families (two adults with a maximum of four children under 15 years of age) should book early to enjoy the convenience of their own compartment for a special price.
Car and motorcycle transport
Motor vehicles can also be transported on the following night train routes:
- Wien - Feldkirch
- Wien - Hamburg, Düsseldorf
- Wien - Livorno, Verona
Note: A passenger ticket must be purchased for each passenger in the vehicle in addition to the ticket for the vehicle itself.
