March 20, 2022 Randal Brittian

As home to majestic mountains, opulent palaces, and high culture, Austria's attractions are classically sumptuous and enduring. But beyond the waltzes, the strudels, the alpine summits, and Habsburg architecture, its modern cities are proof of just how easily Austria combines the contemporary with the historic.

This Ubahn is a great connection for all that visit or stay in Serfaus. Regular service, each 10 minutes with enough capacity, even at busiest times. And it keeps expanding

FestungsBahn

Enjoy a comfortable, relaxing ride to the emblem of Salzburg City. The FestungsBahn, Austria's oldest funicular, carries you up to Fortress Hohensalzburg in just 54 seconds. Amazing views included!

Reviewed By asmar77 - Istanbul, Turkey

Opened in 1892, this funicular railway provides access to 1 of Europe's largest medieval castle. If you want to see the city from above then you will need to visit

OBB

Reviewed By ians829 - Bristol, United Kingdom

My wife and I traveled from Budapest to Vienna and from Vienna to Prague. We paid the extra for the Business class option. The service was exceptional and well worth the extra cost. The Railjet intercity service was great and soooooo much better than flying especially when compared to the low cost airlines, It was part of the holiday to catch a train and the only way to travel if you have time. We purchased the tickets on the OBB website which was very easy. The central station in Vienna is the nicest and cleanest main station that I have ever been to. The station is well served by public transport so getting to and from a central Vienna hotel was easy.
