Austria Transport Guide
As someone who lives in Austria and regularly travels across the country—whether it’s by train through the Alps, hopping on local trams in Vienna, or taking scenic road trips through the countryside—I’ve gained a lot of first-hand insight into getting around efficiently.
That’s why I created this Austria transport Guide: to share real, practical advice for visitors.
In this guide, you’ll find detailed information on flying to Austria, the national and regional train networks, public transportation options, and what it’s like to drive here.
