Ticket options
Austria's cities and Alpine regions are now more accessible than ever. Instead of renting a car before or after a long flight or dealing with complicated shuttle services, you can board your train right at the Vienna International Airport and be on your way - or make your way comfortably to the airport.
From Vienna Airport, Railjets depart twice an hour for Salzburg, the city of Mozart and "The Sound of Music".
There are hourly connections to Innsbruck, Tirol's capital city in the heart of the Austrian Alps.
And at least every two hours, you can travel from Vienna's airport to St. Anton and Bregenz in Austria's westernmost province.
