Vienna has one airport, a train station, and a bus station with daily connections to European capitals.
If you choose to travel by train, you will arrive at Vienna Central Station (Am Hbf 1, 1100 Wien): international + national trains. All of Austrian Federal Railways’ (ÖBB) long-distance trains stop here and at Vienna Westbahnhof: international train + bus station. Linking the west, south, north and east lines creates two opportunities to switch trains.
Getting to the Main Station and Wien-Meidling station is easy with public transportation. They can be reached from any subway or rapid transit railway station in Vienna in under 30 minutes.
