Take a daytrip on the Semmering Railway which is listed as a UNESCO World heritage site since 1998. It was constructed between 1848 and 1854 and was the first mountain railway on standard gauge in Europe. The 41 km trip from Gloggnitz to Murzzuschlag has a difference in height of 460 m and consists of 14 tunnels and 16 viaducts. The route is frequently served by both Intercity trains and local trains. The Intercity trains leave from Vienna South Station and only stop in Murzzuschlag, whereas the local trains leave from Wiener Neustadt and stop at almost all stations. A single ticket from Vienna to Murzzuschlag will set you back 17,80 Euro (2005). The Train Information Office provides detailed pocket timetables for the Semmering Railway.

One thing which I really like about Vienna is its close proximity to the Slovak capital Bratislava. Bratislava and Vienna are said to be the two closest capital cities in the world. There is a frequent train and bus service between both cities which are only about 60 km apart. The train trip takes about one hour and a return ticket is only 14 Euro (2006). Like Vienna, Bratislava is situated at the river Danube. For more info about Bratislava please have a look at my Bratislava page.
