Can I travel out of Austria by Trains?

Which operators run Trains services in Austria?

Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalogue, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.

What is the longest Trains route in Austria?

The longest Trains route we sell touching Austria runs from Sector 2 to Vienna, 857 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 245 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
