Western Europe

Vienna is with Budapest (3 hours) linking via Hegyeshalom. Most of them leave from Vienna’s Westbahnhof, including the Orient Express from Paris (18 hours) via Munich, the EuroCity Bartok Bela from Frankfurt (12 hours) via Salzburg, the Euro City Liszt Ferenc from Dortmund (15 hours) via Frankfurt, the Dacia Express and the Avala bound for Belgrade (7 hours). The early-morning Euro City Lehar, however, departs from Vienna’s Sudbahnhof. None requires a seat reservation, though they’re highly recommended in summer.

Up to 10 trains leave Vienna’s Sudbahnhof every day for Sopron (75 minutes) via Ebenfurth; as many as a dozen a day also serve Sopron from Wiener Neustadt (easily accessible from Vienna). Some trains daily make the three-hour trip from Graz to Szombathely.
