(c) Austrian National Tourist Office

- Rail fares are based on kilometres.

- First class travel costs approximately 50% more and buys more space and softer upholstery. Save money by travelling second class which provides more than enough comfort.

- Return ticket: exactly double the one-way fare.

- Break of journey: With a ticket for a distance greater than 201 km the journey may be interrupted within the validity of the ticket. However, the conductor must record your break of journey on the ticket.

- More than 130 Austrian Railways ticket counters which accept all major credit cards.

- Seats can be reserved in advance for a small charge, however, it is not necessary for most journeys. It is advisable to book seats if you are travelling long distances or during school holidays.
