Great way to get to and from the airport/city center. The return ticket is very decently priced and…read moreeasy to buy a ticket and hop on. The convenience of this is that there is a place for your luggage if you find yourself checking out of your hotel and have some time to kill. There's also a Spar in the same building where you can grab your souvenirs and gifts before heading to the airport. The trains are a fun line green color with WC access.

I booked the WESTbahn train from Vienna to Salzburg instead of OBB due to it being a better value…read morethat got us there in the same amount of time. The tradeoff was lugging our bags to Westbahnhof, further away compared to Wien Hauptbanhof but the station was well connected to the Metro (U3) so it was an easy transit Signs inside Westbanhof were well placed and station simple to navigate to find our train and track. On the train we found space for our luggage (medium size) on the racks since we boarded as soon as the doors opened and I booked our seat next to it. Lighter backspaces or small carryons could be placed on the shelf above the seats. Our seats were in the standard class with decent space and comfort. It worked for the 2.5 hour train ride. First class added nicer seats and free food deliveries to your seat. Timely station announcements and signs at each end of the carriages provided good status on our trip Bathrooms on the train were functional in design and clean. Always interesting to use while the train was in motion. Our carriage was next to the Westcafe car which had seating and self service vending machines for food and drink. Surprisingly all the seats were filled when we boarded. If you want to save money on your travel to Salzburg then this is your train.

Consider the Westbahn line, which offers fares between Vienna and Salzburg for half the price of…read morethe OBB outfit. In December 2012, on OBB, the per person fare is approximately 50 Euro whereas it is 25 Euro per person on Westbahn (but note, for some reason our credit card did not work so we paid cash like everyone else). Plus, on the WB, you get a leather seat, an in-seat electrical outlet, and free wifi that was pretty speedy. The trains leave Salzburg every hour or two. The 2.5 hour trip will be up before you know it. Just get on board and buy your ticket from the attendant once you are underway. If headed from Salzburg to Vienna, pick up an assortment of inexpensive groceries from the SPAR market in the train station to have a picnic lunch on board. NOTE: OBB will not tell you about this line of train service. There will be little to no signage about WB in the train station.... that is because WB is new competition for OBB... Check with your hotel or the WB's website for information.

European train stations are so nice. This one has 3 floors of restaurants, shops and even an IKEA…read more. Didn't have enough time to see the IKEA but I saw the elevator stop. It's a large railway station with multiple platforms on different floors. It's spacious and very clean. Signage is so very clear and also in English. Besides the shops and the cafes, there is something so touching and always worth noting. There's a statue memorializing the Kindertransport. The statue is of a young boy sitting on a suitcase. This was the train station in 1938 that took over 10,000 young children from Austria, Germany and Czechoslovakia, separating them from their parents, and transporting them to England so they wouldn't face Nazi Persecution. It's a poignant statue and the trauma these children faced should never be forgotten

After leaving the gate and picking up luggage we headed to the rental car centre and were greeted by the nicest rep I've ever encountered for a rental car. Seyit-Can A. greeted us immediately. He speaks German, Turkish and English, wow to be trilingual! He was super easy to deal with, extremely patient with no attitude.. Seyit went over all the insurance options thoroughly and was very helpful with questions we had about driving around Austria. As far as the process, it was easy peasy. He printed a receipt that had a QR code on it with a PIN number, you walk over to a locker scan the QR code and or enter the PIN and voila a little door big enough for keys opens. Now we're ready to go! As far as the vehicle, we rented a 8 seater Peugeot, super comfortable with a nice media interface for navigation, AC, fuel etc.. The ONLY issue we had was the language setting was set to Arabic, I fell asleep through that class so couldn't navigate it. It's all good though cause we have little pocket computers called phones. Within 3 minutes of googling we figured it out and we're ready to go. We are a few days into the rental and we're having fun with our car, so far would definitely rent from them again. The customer service was bar none and the process was easy.

The employee even allowed us to check first if our suitcases would fit to be sure the car was the right size, so that was a great help, especially after almost being scammed by another company. SIXT was quite a bit more pricey though even with only basic coverage.
