![]()
The railway in Austria is considered to be one of the longest in Europe. Its total length is more than six thousand kilometers. The railway communication is well developed. All trains always go on schedule. The cost of the trip varies depending on the selected class of the train and direction. If there is a need to travel with stops, it’s better to purchase a travel card, which will help to save considerably. There are huge fines for a ticketless trip in the country; they are enormous even for Austrians. The subway is available in Vienna and Linz. A convenient underground intersection allows tourists to get from one place of interest to another quickly and inexpensively. In cities, you can buy a ticket in every store or kiosk. That ticket will be valid in any transport, including subway. Thus, traveling will be much easier. The presence of a large river, Danube, caused the emergence of water transport in Austria.
