Tips for travelling by train
It is often the case that a route is served by Deutsche Bahn as well as the Austrian and Swiss national railways. You should therefore enter your desired route with all three operators and compare their fares. You may well find a very good value offer this way. In addition, a so-called “Sparpreis” (saver fare) can be booked with the rail operators up to three days before your desired travel date. Please note that there are far more saver fares available during the week than at the weekend.
Information for families
Young children travel free of charge on an ÖBB Standard Ticket up to one day before their sixth birthday. After that, half-price fares apply for children up to their 15th birthday.
If you are considering travelling by long-distance train, we recommend that you book a seat in advance. This way, for a small additional charge, you can take your seat without any hassle.
