A daytrip away from Vienna and other Linz, Austria Transportation Tips

'Mode': TO
Category: Train
Getting TO/AROUND: There are regular train services from Vienna's Westbahnhof to Linz, with the trip taking wither one and three quarter hours or two hours, depending on how many stops there are along the 190km route up the Danube to the capital of Upper Austria. With a Vorteilscard, Linz becomes a very realistic daytrip away from Vienna - with a Cleverticket - booked online and valid only for the train that you choose it for a return ticket can be had for a mere EUR 20.80 - a further EUR 5 cheaper than a normal Vorteilscard return ticket. There are frequent trains between Linz and Vienna - a lot of the highspeed trains towards Salzburg and Western Austria as well as Munich go through Linz, so you can easily find trains back, and similarly there are a lot of other international routes served. The station has been renovated and was reopened in 2004 after renovations - and is one of the ÖBB's architectural flagship stations.

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: Linz has a good network of trams and buses, with all three tram routes sticking generally to similar routes in the centre of the city. Along the routes, buses branch off in various directions, thus making sure there is a well-defined public transportation network. A single ticket is EUR 1.50, and a day ticket for trams and buses is EUR 3.00. This is not, however, valid for the Bergbahn!
