Trains are very efficient, clean and fast in Austria and they are a great way to travel between cities and towns!!

My World Tuesday - A train ride through Austria
During my 3 week vacation throughout 6 distinct parts of Europe and Middle East, one of the best scenic train rides I have ever taken was from Salzburg to Vienna. The journey is less than three hours and there’s so much to discover between them. It's one of those journeys where you can travel in high-speed comfort through some of the prettiest scenery in Europe. The alpine forests, green fields filled with snow, quaint houses and the alpine backdrop reminds me one of the beautiful Swiss landscapes. Our eyes were glued to the windows watching the lovely countryside until our arrival in Vienna.

I had fun with the trams in Vienna as they're narrow and colourful, hehee. I'd love to take the train travel some time. You had seen beautiful scenery from the train. Lovely photos as usual.

ReplyDeletethe Austrian's high-speed train is capable of running at 230 km/h (143 mph)where the route allows this speed.

ReplyDeleteNow that I have retired, I am taking more and more train journeys. It is a very stress free way to see one' own country as well. Thank you for the train ride through Austria.
