Getting to Austria - FAQs |
Getting to Austria
from almost every corner of the civilized world is not a problem
nowadays, as this country lies in the heart of Europe and has an
extensive transportation network. Such factors as time, money and
personal preferences can determine the way to travel Austria
that
will be most convenient for you.
The land's capital,
Vienna is naturally
the main transport hub featuring connections to
all of the major European cities and world capitals. Situated only 20
km away from the city centre, the Vienna airport offers daily
domestic and international flights for over 10 million of people who
travel Austria each year. Though it is very probable to find a direct
route to Vienna from your starting point somewhere abroad, it may
appear faster and cheaper to get to the capital of your country first
and then take a flight to one of the Austrian cities. Besides Vienna,
international airports can be found in Salzburg, Graz, Innsbruck,
Linz and Klagenfurt. It may even be yet a better decision to fly to
Munich and then move to some western area of Austria, as thanks to
the Schengen Agreement crossing the borders of EU is no longer a
problem.
A cheaper and almost
as good an option is to travel Austria by train. Railway transport is
fast and efficient and the connection network is well-developed.
Austria can be within a ticket's reach from a considerable number of
European cities. Moreover, some railroad companies offer attractive
discount systems for those who travel Austria, so you save a good lot
of money buying special passes or paying for some specific
kilometerage, etc.
Another option to
consider when you are getting prepared to travel Austria is taking a
bus. Some pros of the decision are the comparatively low prices for
bus tickets and the dense communication network between Eastern and
Western Europe, but bear in mind that buses are commonly less
comfortable and of course slower that the means of transport to
travel Austria described above.
Planning to travel
Austria you can also rent a car or drive in your own one, as the road
entry points from neighbouring EU countries are open 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. However, make sure you follow the road rules
closely to avoid problems with the road police.
