Eco-friendly Travel

You don't need your car to explore Austria. Be kind to the environment and travel by train, bus or boat.

By Train

The Austrian Federal Railways offer attractive and inexpensive travel deals to all major destinations across Austria. It is also a very relaxing way to explore the country - just kick back and enjoy the view or have a great meal in the dining car.
