Where to buy tickets

The largest company is the Austrian Federal Railways ÖBB, which always works with local carriers when travelling abroad. So in practice, for example, when you travel by train to Prague, you will take the same train, which you can find on the Austrian Railways ÖBB and Czech ČD websites.

Similarly, when travelling to Germany, you will always find tickets for a specific connection on the ÖBB and German DB websites.

It is always worth comparing ticket prices on the websites of both carriers. Each of them may have different prices and different special offers, even if in reality you always travel on the same train.

In addition, there are several private carriers to Vienna, where you can only buy tickets on their website.

You can compare the prices of the different carriers on one page, for example via thetrainline.com. However, this website does not always display the special offers that you will find directly on the websites of the individual carriers.
